Tea Anyone?

1980's Tea Dress £35.00 at studsandlace.co.uk

The tea dress has always been and always will be a must have staple item in the wardrobe of any fashionista. They've been a huge part of many decades: coming up big in the 40's and reappearing in the 70's and 80's mainly, in my opinion because of their versatility.








Coming in all shapes and sizes, the tea dress is the perfect everyday pick me up piece. It's a breath of fresh air from the common pairing of pants and a top, adding a very feminine element to your wardrobe. Albeit in the Winter, you won't usually find me in a tea dress but come Spring, I jump at the opportunity to finally embrace the weather and get my pins out.

The Return of Autumn

With the arrival of September comes the return of the cold weather, the falling leaves and of course, the Autumn/Winter wardrobe. Yes, I'm afraid it's time to put away the bikinis for another year and start dragging out those jumpers and jackets. It doesn't seem like two minutes ago we were cosying up in our knits and seeing that slow transition on the high street from summer beach window displays to arrangements of wooly scarves and fluffy boots.

statement outerwear

This season we're seeing the return of statement outerwear. Rounded oversized shoulder pads at Carven, boucle and embellishments at Chanel and black and white fur at Altuzarra. When the weather requires a coat and your outfit becomes hidden underneath, a statement outer piece is essential. 

Keeping you warm this season and adding an element of vintage to your winter wardrobe, Studs and Lace's fur jackets and coats are a perfect option.

classic patterns

Alongside the statement outerwear trend comes the return of the classic pattern. Designers have gone back to basics and brought back the pinstripes, the leopard prints and the plaids to the runway. Old trends and designs are always re-emerging which is why shopping for vintage is the way to go. Studs and Lace currently stock a gorgeous faux snake-skin jacket circa 1970 which nails two of this seasons top trends right on the head.
