Something For The Weekend

Hi all,

How quickly the weather can change leaving us digging deep in to our wardrobes looking for something a little cosier and warmer to thrown on. Now is a great time to invest in your first piece of knitwear for the season and we have plenty to choose from here at L'Armoire. Here are our favourites so far

                                                 Malene Birger 'Pinna' blush mohair pullover

                                  Day 'Talita' dove oversized knit, Day nude under 'Layering' top

                                     Malene Birger 'Guille' grey oversized chunky zip cardy/coat

'Man Oh Man'

Masculine tailoring is a leading trend this season. Having been seen on the catwalks of Celine and Stella McCartney it combines sleek, clean tailored shapes with straight masculine lines. A great way to introduce the trend into your wardrobe without going full on brogues and button down shirt is to add one simple piece to your look. Malene Birger's navy 'Wakana' coat with black satin lapel trim is that key piece and it's so wearable too. Two great styling tips for this one is simply teamed with skinny jeans and cosy cashmere for day or to 'man up' a cute cocktail dress for evening.
