The Stone Style Report

So I think it’s safe to say that Winter is well and truly here!
If you’re stuck on style for the coming season make sure you check out my Style Report below for all the latest trends. You will find all your need-to-knows regarding what shoes, accessories, and wardrobe items are hot right now. You can also catch up on what hair and makeup looks are now trending. If you want to stay fashionable this Winter, then search no further.

1. COLOURS

While navy and black are your failsafe Winter colours, there are a few others appearing on the scene this season. Grey, pink and yellow are all trending, so be sure to stock up. Add a splash of brightness to your outfit with yellow heels or a pink sweater. Grey makes the perfect layer, or looks great in coat form.

 

 

 

 

 

2. MAKEUP

There are three looks that you should focus on this Winter.

Lips 

Berry lips are the way to go for a striking, feminine smile. Make sure you use a lip conditioner first, and a matching lip liner to give the best effect.

 

Eyebrows

 

 

The eyebrows are also centre stage, in particular strong thick brows which define the face. Instead of plucking your brows down to a delicate strip, go au naturel and accentuate what you were blessed with by using brushes, fillers and gels.

 

 

Eyeliner

 

 

Eyeliner never fails, but this season the look to attain is a simple sweep on the upper eyelid and through the inner eye. Wear this look in classic form during the day and with more intensity at night, to expose your darker diva.

 

3. HAIR STYLES & TRENDS

Everyone seems to be going for the same cut this season – blunt, and short. An above the shoulders length is very in right now, with sharp edges and layers. Style your hair by pinning back sections with bobby pins and barrettes. This frames the face nicely and adds a feminine touch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. JEWELLERY

Structured jewellery is the look of the moment, with dramatic statement pieces taking the spotlight. Think chunky block necklaces, fringed pieces and chains. Crystals and crosses are also in, and the hoop earring has made a surprising comeback. If you’re wondering what colour to choose, go for gold – it’s glamorous and fun.

 

 

5. YOU ULTIMATE WINTER SHOE – THE BOOT

Ever-popular during the colder, rainier months, the boot is back. Whatever style you opt for, stick with grey, black, brown or white for a simple yet stylish look.

Thigh High

This is your statement boot, highlighting your legs and giving your outfit a seventies vibe. Not only are these beauties incredibly warm, but they provide the ideal amount of coverage. Wear them over tights with a grey dress and coat for a casual chic look.

 

 

 

Pointed

These boots are making a comeback. Wear them in brown leather for a cowboy feel, or polished black for that touch of sophistication. They look great with wide-legged pants.

Ankle-Length

The classic boot that every woman should own! These are great for both casual and business wear. Pair them with tights and a structured dress for a professional look, or a cute skirt for an evening out.

Experimentation

Embrace the range of colours, textures and patterns that are gracing footwear stores this Winter. While you definitely need a couple of pairs of plain boots, why not have a little fun and buy something a little more out there?

6. THE FASHION COAT

Who doesn’t love a good coat in the cold? The item that should be on the top of your list is a quality coat (or two) that you can slip over your outfits for added warmth and glam. There a many different styles you can choose from, but the following are all trending right now.

Fur

Faux fur of course, because killing animals for fashion is not classy. However, a faux fur coat most certainly is, so team it with a panelled dress, heels and red lips for that striking vintage look.

Wool

Don’t underestimate the wonders of a good woollen coat. There’s a reason these never go out of style, and that is because they not only look elegant, but keep you as warm as you possible could be. Get it in cream, burgundy or forest green.

Trench

You can’t go wrong with a classic trench coat. If in doubt, one watch of Breakfast at Tiffany’s will have you running out the door to buy your own. Make like the Winter runways and wear it in navy.

 

Leather

Unlike fur, leather should not be faux. Quality is key here, and nothing looks nastier than fake leather. Slip one of these jackets on for a night out with the girls, and embrace your inner diva.

7. SCHOOL GIRL JUMPERS

Tartan has made a big comeback recently, and what better way to wear this old-school pattern than on a schoolgirl style sweater? Think v-necks in a woollen blend, or a high-neck cotton job. Cute, with a vintage vibe.

8. THE BLAZER

 

 

Perfect for wearing to the office, the blazer is both professional and classy. Layer it with a turtleneck underneath, or roll up the sleeve for a casual night out. Get it in  navy or tan.

 

 

9. PINSTRIPE SUITING

For an even more professional look, try the pinstripe suit trend. I love the masculine feel this gives your outfit. The structure of the suit combined with the stripes make your entire appearance clean and sharp. Perfect for the working woman!

10. ACCESSORIES 

Hats

Be a lady with a hat this Winter. Think floppy felt hats, woollen berets and vintage cloches. Elegant, warm and super-stylish. Get yours in burgundy, black, rust or grey for a fabulous touch.

 

Gloves

Gloves are also hot right now. Keep cosy with woollen mittens, or don some classy short gloves for an evening out. You can’t go wrong with black.

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here .
