Style Diary: The Bold and the Wintery

It is officially my least favourite time of year. Wow...what a gloomy way to start a blog post. But hey! Don't nag me for being the one thing I promised I'd be since I first started up this blog...honest. Forgive me for being MIA for the last...I don't even know how long it's been since my last post! It's true, I've been neglecting my blog. However, truth be told, I've actually missed writing quite a lot...

Getting back to the subject at hand, the beginning of April in Australia officially marks the start of the mild drizzle, melancholy weather and cold mornings vainly attempting to coax us out of our warm beds. I think it's safe to say that Winter and I have a strict love-hate relationship. I've touched on the hate, but what of the love? Hot chocolate, Audrey Hepburn classics, snuggles and reading a good book indoors while the rain outside lashes at my window panes...that's what this season should be all about. And, not to mention, the fashion. Every year, the wintry trends outdo the previous year and 2015 is no exception...

Now I have been made aware of the fact that many of us girls are positively apprehensive or simply unsure of introducing colour into our winter wardrobes. I know I certainly was...until I discovered the beauty of an array of the shades worn by the bold that complement the Autumn-Winter time of year. Immerse yourself in this year's fresh new seasonal trends...

 Khaki

A colour that has been heavily emphasised on the runway, khaki can be styled in multiple ways (grunge, posh, cool etc.) and suits multiple skin tones.



 

 

 

Sport Luxe

Inspired by a new generation of health junkies, the sports luxe or sports report trend allows one to add a touch of style, making an outfit too trendy to simply wear during a night in. Picture slimline tees, light anoraks, oversized sweatshirts and tapered sweatpants. Or don't picture it...simply scroll!

The Minimalist

We all love this one. This classic '90s anti-statement normcore trend has taken the fashion world by storm. Cool neutral tones have always been popular in winter, however this trend allows one to think more innovatively when throwing together an outfit. The trend speaks for itself- you don't always need bold tones for a bold outfit. (Check Out Sportsgirl's Minimalist Collection!)

Red Plaid

I'm sorry, but this gorgeous trend is not going anywhere. I am a huge fan of red plaid, or any plaid for that matter during the autumn-wintertime. The best part is, there are a variety of creative looks that can be produced from such a classic trend.
