The latest white shirts

Posted on August 24, 2015 by stylepointofview

I do go on about white shirts a lot, I know. But, let’s be honest, we never seem to have enough of them; the time we see a new style, or we realise we are missing a classic one … and they do go with just about everything (like jeans). Of course mid-season, I find, is the perfect time for shirts.

It’s nearly autumn, one can start adding things…a scarf, a string of pearls, a waistcoat, a jacket, etc. I do think a look is better with more than two things, or colours, for that matter.

Anyhow, here are the latest designs I found and like:

: ATTERLEY Self Stripe Pussy Bow viscose Blouse white

: Babaton Jakob silk Blouse white

: Apiece Apart MARTYNA BUTTON UP BLOUSE white

: THOMAS MASON® FOR J.CREW FRENCH-CUFF SHIRT

: CLOSED Silk Crepe Blouse white

: THOMAS MASON® FOR J.CREW TUXEDO SHIRT white

: Zara BLOUSE WITH NECKLINE BOW white

: Zara HIGH NECK T-SHIRT off white

: Zara TOP WITH FRILL white

They are all nice to wear on their own, because they are so beautiful, but some will look nice with yesterday’s waistcoats too. Others will look fabulous with a long pearl necklace. Jeans are always a great match, but I especially like them with skirts lately.

My favourites are the Atterley, Babaton e the Zara frilly one!

Atterley blouse, Babaton silk blouse, Apiece Apart blouse, Thomas Mason shirt, Hobbs shirt, Closed Silk blouse, Thomas Mason tuxedo shirt, Zara blouse with bow, Zara t-shirt, Zara top with frills.

Let’s talk waistcoats

Ok, so a waistcoat is a way to update your look in order to eventually meet autumn. I have two, they are short and of course now the trend is for long ones… I haven’t used mine in what? ten, fifteen years? I can’t remember. I have always kept them though. Perhaps I will make some use of them this year.

Anyway, as I said in the previous post, it is only a passing trend, as a consequence I wouldn’t overdo it. That’s why I am going to show you some I found from Zara.

: Zara WAISTCOAT WITH BELT black

: Zara WAISTCOAT WITH BELT black (side)

: Zara WAISTCOAT WITH BELT black (front)

: Zara WOOL WAISTCOAT navy blue

: Zara MASCULINE WAISTCOAT navy blue

: Zara WAISTCOAT WITH BELT navy blue

: Zara HAND MADE WAISTCOAT beige

: Zara DOUBLE BREASTED WAISTCOAT burgundy

There’s also this cutie:

Zara MICRO-JACQUARD WAISTCOAT black

Now you need a gorgeous georgette bow blouse or a crisp white shirt. For the bottom I especially like to go long, like the waistcoat. A mid calf length would be nice.

Otherwise, jeans are always ok, perhaps better the boyfriend cut, or a pair of wide trousers. Cropped wide ones would be rather nice. I suppose culottes could be appropriate too, even if I am not really that fond of them.

Shoes: heels, brogues and later on ankle boots.

Summer’s tail

Posted on August 22, 2015 by stylepointofview

I don’t know you, but I get bored with summer’s clothes much faster than I do with winter ones. I do have to be realistic though, where I live is going to be hot for at least another month, if not longer. There’s no way I can start wearing anything thick and wooly!! And anyway, I don’t want to start buying now what I will be wearing in 2/3 months time, because, whenever I have done in the past, it always turned out not to be a good idea. I tend to get it wrong. I get excited because I love all of those heavy fabrics like wool, cashmere, tweed, etc. I love shoes like brogues, ankle boots, etc. So, anything that looks remotely like that, looks wonderful to my “by now, extremely fed up with the heat” senses….I also can’t remember what I already have from the previous year, so I have sometimes ended up with copies…

I do want a slightly new look though, something less summery and more “autumn looking”. So, this is what I have come up with:

Colours: well, this is the easiest one, all you need to do is to start using shades of grey (!!), burgundy, mustard, dark green, burnt orange, petrol blue,etc.
