SPRING-SPIRATION (ENGLAND)

It’s a strange time of year for fashion, although the high street and catwalks have been teasing us all with gorgeous spring and summer pieces the weather is still as grim as ever in the U.K.

CHILL OUT THIS CHRISTMAS - YOUR GUIDE TO FABULOUS WINTER COMFORT WEAR

As Christmas is creeping up on us, it’s a time to relax and celebrate with friends and family for the world over. Most of us will defiantly be stressing out over what to wear to the works party or for festive drinks with friends, but relaxing in your home with your loved ones is an equally good opportunity to look fabulous.

MAN'S WORLD

In the past we have seen men's clothing take on a new life draped across beautiful woman's bodies the world over. From over sized dad shirts to the more recently popular boyfriend jean, this season we are stealing another masculine fashion staple, the mannish shoe.

The mannish shoe has been stomped all over the catwalks at the Autumn/Winter fashion shows earlier in the year, with Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Daks all leading the way with this daring trend showing off some of the best examples of loafers and brogue shoes. So it's time to say goodbye to those 6 inch platforms and hello comfy masculine inspired flats.

Don't be put off by thinking you'll be walking around the streets looking like you've stolen your dads best shoes, these beautifully designed pieces feature some of the best examples of intricate leather design, with cute cut out patterning and fringing detailing and some pairs also explore soft patterned suede in luxurious colours. Whether your feeling daring this Autumn/Winter season or want to go for a more traditional mannish shoe, there really is something for everyone. These are a great example of some of the more daring pairs; team with a simple black tea dress so the shoe design really makes a statement.
