Hot Right Now: Chenille, Mustard & Corduroy

If there is one thing I've been doing this fall a lot more than previous years is wear more colour. Despite rocking all-black ensembles for work pretty much every day of the work week, when playtime comes around I want to inject some much-needed colour into my outfits. Which is why I am LOVING the fact that black and grey knits are things of the past and instead, gorgeous yellow and red tones are very much in fashion this fall. Love, love, love!

Sweater weather is my favourite weather...

THE MUSTARD KNIT JUMPER

Needless to say, I've gone a little crazy in the knit department and added a few coloured ones to my wardrobe recently, like this gorgeous chenille jumper from good ol' Primark in this vibrant and eye-catching yellowy mustard colour. If I remember correctly it cost me little over £10 and it is the cosiest jumper I own. Even my mother, who isn't a fan of Primark, loved this jumper and said it looked really good quality for its price tag, which is exactly what you want to hear especially from bargain buys. I am tempted to go back and see if they do this in different colours, so let me know below if you have any!

THE CHENILLE TREND IS BACK

This jumper, apart from being in a  super trendy colour, is also in the very popular fabric of the moment, chenille. Between the return of velvet, faux fur, and cable knits, comfort is what everyone wants this fall. One fabric, in particular, has had a huge comeback and that's chenille, something we had not seen since the 90s! Chenille is incredibly soft, comfy and snugly; it is the perfect jumper type all round and it almost makes you forget how miserable the weather outside is (I did say almost!). Most high street shops stock something in this fabric, like scarfs, jumpers and even hats and gloves, and I am obsessed because it simply looks good and feels good!

THE CORDUROY SKIRT

Corduroy is a textile with a distinct pattern, a "cord" or wale. In essence, it is a ridged form of velvet and given retro 70s style is back this season, the corduroy trend is also stronger than ever. This mini skirt I am styling is from Urban Outfiters and I love the way it fits and feels. I have a few other corduroy pieces in my wardrobe such as pinafores, trousers and a jacket; personally, I love the fabric in subtle black and burgundy designs. This fabric instantly makes any outfit autumn/winter appropriate and I love how retro yet versatile it is. 

THE BLACK OTK BOOTS

These are from Zaful believe it or not and I love how they look on. Granted, they're not the most comfortable pair of boots I own, but they stay up, which is always a mission with these type of boots. They seemed like the perfect footwear choice to go with the mini skirt, showing just enough skin to balance the look. When winter hits, I will be sure to wear tights underneath though. Something a little boxier on top in a similar outfit is also ideal like this knit jumper, to balance and to keep the outfit cool and winter-ready.
