The Poloneck

The essential wardrobe staple

The humble Poloneck can be seen making a much awaited reappearance in many of the big highstreet stores. I also have recently stumbled across this undeniably clean cut, chic classic that is the new must have of everyone's autumn/winter wardrobe. 

1. The poloneck is extremely versatile, wearing a jersey turtleneck as a simple base and using to layer underneath a larger statement piece, is echoing the rollneck's famed past, when it could be seen splashed across the pages of countless magazines worn with the bright 70's prints. Brighter colours and patterns giving you that edgy look.

 2. If you prefer the much more understated feel, this staple can be worn in its simplest form, colours such as black and navy are essential in your wardrobe and can look timeless when worn as a basic rollneck, dressed with an oversized coat and chunky shoes. Creating a simple outfit but still allowing for an 'of the moment' look. 

3. Shades of tan and camel are also being seen making a comeback, and if worn correctly a heavier dark funnel neck looks effortless paired with cigarette trousers, a tan coat and some minimal accessories. Wearing it this way creates an elegant feel and means you can dress it up or down to suit the occasion. 

However the poloneck is pulled off, I believe this lasting classic will be making its anticipated appearance back into our wardrobes. And be reassured, this essential will become your new favourite piece.

Fashion is a funny word

Fashion is a funny word.

Not longer than 10 minutes ago, i was looking at the word fashion. Wondering if all these years I'd been spelling it wrong. For when you type a word again and again, it starts to look incorrect. So, (naturally) I began to write my first blog post with a title 'fashion is a funny word'; As I'm sure somebody with much more expertise somewhere has written an article or blog post starting with the exact same phrasing, I thought I'd give it a whirl. This is my first post on my first blog, all about my views on fashion and beauty, my  'Outfit of the Day's', and my attempt on the new and upcoming trends. I'm F and I think that fashion, is a funny word.
