I’m a cold girly & layering is my best friend -how to look warm but chic, including the £30 buy I always get asked about
SUMMER seems to be well and truly behind us, and as the UK is battered with a deluge of rain this week, many of us are likely to be mourning the loss of sunny days in beer gardens wearing cute dresses.
Autumn fashion may seem dull, but there are plenty of ways that you can look stylish without feeling the cold – you don’t have to just wear the same grandad jumper every day.
Fashionista and self-proclaimed “cold girly” Courtney (@courtney_wears) took to TikTok to reveal her top tips for keeping cosy whilst looking cute.
“This one is for the girlies who get really cold in autumn”, she said.
“Layering is your absolute best friend”, the fashion lover revealed, before sharing that she always starts off her autumn looks with a thermal long-sleeved top.
Courtney recommends buying your thermal tops from Uniqlo, where you can pick them up for £19.90.
Over the top of the long sleeve, Courtney wears a simple white t-shirt.
“I get asked about this t-shirt quite a lot actually”, she said, revealing that the Clean Cut Regular T-shirt is from COS, and priced at £30.
“What I love about this is that the neckband is quite thick so it holds it’s shape well”, Courtney explained.
She added that she likes to tuck the t-shirt into her jeans all the way round, for added warmth.
On top of the t-shirt, Courtney adds a jumper which she also tucks into her jeans.
“If you have sensitive skin, and if you find all jumpers quite itchy, wear a long sleeved tee underneath because then you’re not going to feel the itchiness of the jumper, but you’re still going to get the warmth”, she shared.
Courtney said that this technique is perfect for keeping you cosy indoors if you don’t want to put the heating on.
And if you’re venturing outdoors, she advises wearing a woolly coat and a thick chunky scarf.
“Honestly, you’re not going to feel the cold through all of these layers”, she said.
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
