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.

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.
