Autumn Style Guide

Autumn/Winter season is upon us and it’s time to refresh the wardrobe. Taking note of the trends and styles are Leicester’s fashionistas at DC Boutique who have an eye for what works and buy fashionable and wearable clothing for their shop and online boutique

The team at the boutique share their picks for the season ahead and help us to get excited about a new seasonal wardrobe.

DEBBIE CLARK Role: Buyer

I chose the fabulous longline

Eddy Blouse by Danish brand Soyaconcept. I love the colours and it can be worn throughout the colder months as a tunic over trousers and boots. I love wearing trainers with dresses too.

Try and take the time to make the effort. You don’t need to have a wardrobe packed with clothes, just a nice selection of outfits that make you feel good. Throw away those bobbly and stained old faithfuls that are comfy but make you feel a mess.

CLAIRE TIMSON

Role: Shop Assistant

I chose this black dress from our new A/W range because I like to wear clothes that can be teamed up with accessories. I like the look and feel of the sheer arms on this dress and the fine fabric; not too heavy a dress for an evening out or lunchtime drinks.

Never feel that you have to be too matchy match. If you have a great pair of black shoes, then add a pop of colour with a great colourful bag. I like to wear my accessories boldly and let them do the talking.

JANE MUGGLESTONE

Role: Social Media/Shop

Assistant

I like to wear classic neutral colours so blacks, greys and khakis and then add colour and interest by layering with kimonos or scarves or by adding a statement necklace.

Invest in a good pair of faux leather trousers which can be worn time and time again. Team with a comfy jumper, a classic T-shirt and jacket or with a dressy top for parties and nights out. They work equally well with chunky boots or heels and are always my go to option for Autumn styling.

HELEN KNOWLES Role: Shop Assistant

I always wear my leather or denim jacket snuggly fitted with a fuller dress as I feel it gives me a better silhouette making for slimmer shoulders and waistline looking slimmer.

As I’m pear shape,

I wear pattern on my top half and plain/ darker on my bottom half to draw the eye to my slimmer half. For example,

I team black trousers with an animal print top.
