Top 5 Winter Textures
April 5, 2012 in Fashion
Winter fashion not only means getting to wear lots of layers, but also lots of textures as well.
Shop Me Chic’s Top 5 Winter Textures are:
- knit
- leather
- lace
- velvet
- faux fur
The beauty of these textures is that they can be worn solo or you can incorporate a few into the one outfit. Here are our picks of the bunch.
Knit
Knit is a classic winter texture. Who doesn’t love getting rugged up in a cosy knit? It is also incredibly versatile, can be dressed up or down and looks great as a tunic, jumper or cardi – as seen below.
Bardot Salt & Pepper Cardi – $129.95
French Connection Lady Owl Long Knit - $99.95 (currently on sale)
Sussan Block Stripe Tunic – $89.95
Leather
Leather is an investment worth making. Leather never goes out of style and can be worn with just about anything. And the more worn in your leather is, the better it gets. How many investments can you say that about?!
ASOS Collarless Leather Biker Jacket – $194.64
Wish ‘Mania’ Leather Shorts from Alibi Online – $149.95
Portmans Leather Swing Skirt – $149.95
Lace
Lace is the ultimate ladylike texture. It says sophistication and style. Lace can also be exciting when mixed with a tough texture like leather. But why limit yourself to clothing when it looks just as fab in accessories…
Karen Millen Lace Clutch – $89.00
Forever New ‘Charlotte’ Heels – $99.99
Velvet
Velvet has made a major comeback for Winter and for good reason – it looks so luxe and has a bit of a hippy chic vibe to it. Navy seems to be the colour du jour for velvet this season, as seen in the picks below.
PeepToe ‘Miss Munroe’ Velvet Heel - $199.00
Boys Club Velvet Blazer from Glue Store – $229.99
PeepToe ‘Lady Velvet’ Clutch – $129.00
Faux Fur
No need to get the flour out (right Kim K?!)…this type of fur is animal friendly!! Faux fur is super cosy and super chic and adds an interesting texture to even the simplest outfit.
Bardot ‘Bowie’ Faux Fur Jacket – $50.00
Forcast Pearl Faux Fur Beret from The Iconic – $25.00
Ally Fashion Faux Fur Gillet - $39.99
