Hi all,

As one of the most important investments you will make all season, it's important to get it right and of course, we've got some lovely coat conundrums to help you out.

There's definitely been a stand out in the coat style stakes this year. The woollen cacoon shape that heralds from the cool Scandinavian influence is the leader of the pack. Choose Day's multi colour fleck tweed coat that will give you that update your outerwear that your looking for.

The Autumn Edit

 Hi all,
 

The new season is approaching fast and we always like to give you a break down of what little goodies will be arriving over the next few weeks. Along with trends, colours and popular styles to look out for too.
 

Think Pink!

Perhaps the prettiest pallet we've seen in a while for the autumn. What they've been calling 'winter pastels' will be accenting right the way through the collections from soft, fluffy knits to coats and scarves to follow later on. The winter pastels heavily feature dusty rose pinks, soft lavenders and deep minty hues. On the other side of the colour spectrum, cobalt blue is a more bold choice for those of you who are looking to make more of a statement.

 New In - By Malene Birger rose pink 'Solayna' lightweight knit with silk back detail.
Day Birger et Mikkelsen lavender soft pullover with cute pocket detail. 

Season of The Coat 

Keep an eye out for our cocoon and wrap styles that will keep you nice and warm this winter. As you all probably know it's always good to get in early. We're looking forward to those oversized upper body silhouettes paired with skinny fit jeans or the seasons must have leather pants (Scandi style!).

 The Must Have Jeans

If your thinking of investing in a good staple pair of jeans then we've got the low down on the best (and most comfortable). Our two favourite styles at L'Armoire are the most popular with our customers too. And yes, they are back in stock! Firstly, 'super' is the word for Fillipa K's inky blue super stretch skinny jeans. The dark blue wash means they are 'super' flattering and can easily been worn day or night. Next up is the staple 'Racoon' style from Day Birger et Mikkelsen. Featured in every collection for as long as we can remember. They are medium rise, slim leg and have lots of stretch. The best bit is that they are coated in a leatherlike waxy finish that gives them their edge. Colours vary each season. For Autumn we have fig and the ever trusty black. If you want to bag your pair for autumn, just message us or call the boutique on 01446 774766. 

Top to bottom - Day 'Racoon' Black, Day 'Racoon' Fig, Filippa K 'Super stretch' Ink.

The Statement Scarf

 Scarves are increasingly playing a huge part of our daily style. Not just for keeping the cold at bay, the statement scarf is an utter essential in switching a look up or down. They allow you to play with trends and are perfect for adding a luxury element to an otherwise simply outfit. We've got plenty to choose from!

All Scarves featured - By Malene Birger & Filippa K
