Fashion is
something that still seems a little bit foreign and exciting to me, especially
considering that I spent most of my younger years growing up in the same
hoodies, skinny jeans and those 'go to' old, tatty pair of trainers that
have seen better days. I have found
that experimenting with different clothing is so much fun and
provides the perfect excuse to purchase new clothes and get dressed up, even when
you don't have any specific occasions to attend!
I was
absolutely delighted when I was approached by Burton, who were kind enough to send me over their
new Trench coat, along with a few other items to style it with. I have
always wanted to purchase a trench coat but never really imagined that it would
suit myself, as I usually stay well within my comfort zone when it comes to
styling clothes. But, combined with the elegance of a roll neck jumper and
leather gloves, this outfit left me feeling smart, sleek and more James Bond
than Blogger James.
I find that
trench coats are so versatile, really complimenting both formal and casual
attire. The added belt really helps create a streamlined look, while also being
lightweight and shower proof for wear in any weather condition. Button right up
to the top for an elegant and tidy finish, or add an extra layer to your
normal outfit with a more smart casual unbuttoned look (ngl I mainly like this
one because it feels like I'm wearing a cape when the wind is
blowing). Usually, I am terrified to go anywhere near anything remotely
light coloured with clothing as I am an absolute nightmare when it
comes to spilling things down myself, but I am so glad that I did because the
stone colour of the trench coat contrasts so well with the blacks and greys
within the rest of the outfit and allows me to move away from the temptation of
monochromes, helping to stand out from the crowd and add a little colour during
the winter months.
The upper
half of the look is completed with a grey roll neck jumper, providing warmth
and simplicity without all of the faffing around involved with a scarf and
black leather gloves which I highly recommend getting as they keep
your hands much more toasty warm and comfortable than any regular wool gloves.
The bottom half is finished off with some skinny black jeans (surprise,
surprise!) and a stylish pair of Chelsea boots which I love so much that they
definitely deserve their own blog post!
