22 October 2015 www.womanthismonth.com FASHION | trend Low temperatures and fluffy blankets and clothes go together like cocoa powder and milk for the perfect hot chocolate. The island may not get the same cold breezes and freezing winters experienced in European countries; however, if there is a time that we can take all the fluffiness out of the wardrobe, this is it! Puffy jackets and fuzzy accessories keep you warm and add a chic and fashionable feel to your cold weather attire. Most pieces have synthetic materials applied as details such as in jacket hoods and collars, hat hems and glorious gloves. They usually add volume and elegance to accessories such as handbags and shoes. Some creative designers are making use of these materials in bracelets, earrings and necklaces for pure fun and glamour. Extravagant women can count on this trend to stand out in the crowd with long coats covered with a fleecy material. Marni had its dose of fluffiness strategically stitched in the pockets of long coats to keep your hands extra warm. Dries Van Noten mixed different materials to create volume in the upper area, while Sonia Rykiel went super soft with a long and eyecatching coat. Just don’t forget, if you go for this trend, give preference for brands that use faux-fur or fauxfeather; they look just as awesome as the cruelly acquired real ones.
