November 2018 www.womanthismonth.com 22 FASHION | focus Shirt Just as the name suggests, these jackets have a similar fitting to a shirt. The difference lies in the fabric, which is usually thicker, and in the fact that its hem will have a better finish than a regular blouse. Great worn by itself or with a turtleneck underneath. Tunics, coats, capes – there are so many stylish ways of keeping warm during the cooler weather, which is finally here. This month, Fernanda Langhammer is exploring the world of jackets. Autumn is the time to prepare yourself for the season ahead. It’s time to don those lightweight coats and enjoy the cool breeze that blows in the evening. Of course this is a reality when living in other countries away from the Middle East. However, we love the idea of throwing a jacket here and there more for style purposes than necessity. The focus this month is to have a look at the designs at mid-stomach length, their different materials and how to wear them at their best. The weather might not be that cold yet – some people might say if ever – but, in my opinion, it does get chilly when the wind finds our little island. If you have cold hands and feet (in the literal way) like me, don’t get caught by surprise and make sure you carry a jacket wherever you go. There are fashionable choices and practical ones. Pick the style you like the most and enjoy the outdoors as much as you can before the heat hits us again. Cath Kidston Snuggle Up Denim These are sometimes seen as too casual, but often a relaxed look is exactly what you want. Perfect for mid-season, this jacket is more versatile than it seems. It goes well with flowy dresses, wide-legged trousers and jumpsuits. You can even team it with your favourite jeans and, no, it won’t look weird. Corduroy This style of velvet became a big thing during the 1970s and all sorts of clothing was made from it. Its thick property makes it a warm pick for winter and a vintage style-maker to transform and upgrade a casual look. Stradivarius New Look
