John Lewis Heritage Trend AW13
This look is all about borrowing from the boys, be it Autumn/Winter’s must-have masculine trousers, a classic brogue or an oversized coat. Don’t be afraid to play with textures – a fine merino knit against a heavy wool trouser, or a delicate silk blouse off set with masculine leather accessories.
Gérard Darel Silk Shirt
This silk, fluid shirt will add a softer edge to an overall masculine look. From weekday working wardrobe to weekend denim, this investment piece will become a favoured staple.
Collection Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
If the whole look feels just a little too masculine for you, add a girl meets boy edge with a fine pink knit.
Raoul Elizabeth Mini Tote Bag
The vintage feel of this Raoul bag finishes off a classic heritage look. Invest in the Singapore founded brand now, before everyone else does.
Seamed High Waist Trousers
Masculine trousers are Autumn/Winter ‘13’s hero piece. Look for well-cut, boyish lines and add to a simple white shirt and brogues combo.
Dune Lillian Low Heeled Court Shoes
Slip into these gentlemanly tasseled loafers for on-trend ease. Whether paired with masculine trousers or a 60s shift and opaque’s, they’re ideal for wet weather working days.
Whistles Felt Fedora Hat
Take style tips from the AW13 collection of Saint Laurent and invest in a menswear inspired hat. The perfect finishing touch to a borrowed from the boys look.
Jaeger Giant Houndstooth Cocoon Coat
Masculine lines and heritage checks both feature in Jaeger’s statement coat. Layered over a head-to-toe monochrome look or a splash of pillar-box red collar, it’ll ooze classic British style.
Michael Kors Bradshaw Mini Gold Chronograph Watch
Add some effortless luxe to your everyday look with a mannish watch. This classic timepiece will ensure you’re the envy of all – boys and girls.
