Winter Woollies

Vintage Knit Top £15.00 at Studs and Lace
at ASOS Marketplace

Its official. November is here and it hasn't failed in bringing a whole host of icy winds and freezing temperatures with it. High street stores are laden once again with jumpers galore and vintage store Studs and Lace have several Winter vintage offerings.

Mohair

80's Vintage Mohair Cardigan £28.00 at Studs
and Lace at ASOS Marketplace

As featured in Vogue Paris, mohair is making a comeback this season. The furry fibre was seen at Emporio Armani and Alexander Wang, giving a lighter feel than a heavy cable knit or woollen jumper.

Studs and Lace's beige mohair cardigan is a gorgeous alternative to the usual high street cardigans on sale this season. The creamy, coffee coloured neutral shade is an essential Winter hue, acting as the perfect cover up for keeping warm this time of year.

80's Mohair Jumper £25.00 at studsandlace.co.uk 

For a more striking option, their vintage 80's mohair jumper in magenta pink is a unique piece which mirrors the current neon colour block prints and patterns in the likes of high street store River Island. Paired with lacquered pants à la Balmain, it's the perfect piece for simply brightening up a dark December day or for adding an element of warmth to a going out outfit.
