Let’s talk waistcoats

Posted on August 23, 2015 by stylepointofview

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 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:

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.

I have never spent much on a clutch-bag, mainly because I use it twice a year, I just don’t have the occasion and perhaps I am not into being uncomfortable either. It’s just, if I know I am going to have to hold it for too long… well, in that case I will use a small “cross body” bag. But I do like clutches. That’s where cheap and cheerful Zara comes in.

I found this one and have fallen for it…

Comes in black too ( and I would have them both!)

Zara dresses

Today, I think I am going to start one of a few posts about summer dresses. It’s hot, very hot. What can one wear when is this hot? Only a dress will do. And anyway, when one is hot and bothered, one would at least like to have something comfy on… I love the feel of a long dress, air (if available) “freely circulating” inside it, no need to keep lady-like positions all the time, no need of having perfectly “cultivated” legs, no need for heels, and the list could go on and on!

I want to start with Zara. Trendy, fun, inexpensive dresses, for women with little to invest or who want more than one dress. My only doubt about them is the fabric composition. For most of them it is not shown, that makes me think about synthetic… I don’t like synthetic…(which, by the way, would keep you warm!)

Let’s start with the floral print, which I find really quite interesting this year…
