Knitwear is the perfect blend of Fashion & Function

A good knit is a mainstay of your winter wardrobe, but for a contemporary take on old faithful’s, the ribbed knit and roll neck are the key pieces you need to invest in this AW15.

Channel the ‘70s vibe, which is abundant this season with a grooved piece of knitwear in a neutral shade – we love the Dr Denim cable knit jumper in cream and SET chunky knit cropped jumper in grey.  For a casual look, team ribbed knits with jeans, or mix textures and layer with a shirt for a smarter look – style with trainers or heels.

Roll neck jumper, turtleneck jumper, polo neck jumper… Whatever you want to call it, the high neck piece of knitwear is chic, practical and cosy.  For the perfect cover-up / throw-on invest in Baum und Pferdgarten’s chunky cable knit mohair poncho in grey – a must-have layering option for the cooler months. Slip yours on with everything from dresses to casual tees.

For a splash of vibrant colour this autumn team the super soft jumper from Amercian Vintage in carrot (also available in soft grey) with skinny jeans and ankle boots or add a subtle hue of blue with the soft turtleneck in ice blue from Des Petits Hauts.

We love the effortless fine knit layering piece.  This check-patterned jumper from Custommade is perfect for the girl who loves boyfriend jeans but wants to balance this with a feminine touch – add ankle boots to finish off your look.  The Des Petits Hauts green v-neck luxury knit and Bellerose wool jumper are timeless pieces which offer endless styling options – wear with tailored trousers to the office, or flares at the weekend.

The cosy cardigan is a must-have for your winter wardrobe.  We love teaming these cardigans from American Vintage with tailoring just as much as we do with denim.  Designed to fit slightly loose so it layers easily over both office and weekend wardrobe staples – try these cardigans over a dress with boots at the weekend.

Denim Styles to wear Now and Forever

It’s only when the leaves start to turn their beautiful shades of orange, green and yellow that we can be sure it’s time to ditch the cut-offs and embrace this autumn’s hottest denim styles – from kick flares and a more subtle boot cuts to ankle-skimming, wide-leg pants that aren’t culottes, these are the freshest styles to wear right now.

Once you find that perfect, flattering pair of jeans we promise you will live in them and wear them season after season.  At Quattro Rish we are passionate about our denim and have an amazing collection of denim labels to flatter every shape and size, with prices starting from £45.

 

Favourite styles of denim this season: –

The Linda jean from MiH are a super high rise with tapered leg.  This denim shape looks fabulous on girls with typically curvy figures; smaller waists and gorgeously wider hips.  The Linda also looks amazing on girls who have a boyish figure; straight up and down.

The Rolled Skinny jean from Current Elliott are our best seller this season, flattering every body shape and look amazing with ankle boots, a simple shirt and chunky knitwear.

The London jean from MiH are a subtle, stylish alternative to the flare.  This bootcut style is tailored to sit just at the waist, smoothing into a kick flare at the ankle and flatters curvy, pear and boyish shapes by elongating the leg.  An everyday jean, style with sports shoes or heels.

One of our favourite denim brands for daytime denim is Swedish brand, Dr Denim.  This season we are loving the coated black skinnies and flares which offer a very reasonable £45-£55 price bracket.  The skinnies suit most shapes, whilst flares look amazing on women with long legs, pear or boyish shapes.

Shop the trends for A/W15 at Quattro Rish

There’s a huge trend for big, fluffy teddy-bear coats and faux-furs, this season.  With real fur fast becoming a thing of the past, Unreal Fur have become industry leaders in creating stunning faux fur pieces of the highest quality without the cruelty towards animals – and we are loving the colour and textures that have arrived at Quattro Rish for our first season with Unreal Fur.

The Wanderlust coat is going to be our staple outer-garment over the winter months; warm, cheerful, supremely comfortable and as fashionable worn with jeans and a pair of battered Converse as they are slung over the top of an evening dress.  Add the ivory Thread Through scarf for a subtle statement piece that works beautifully with flares and a chunky knit this autumn.

This season embraces both the 70s and 80s decades with clothing that can be as bold or subtle as you like.  For that bleached-out 70s vibe, style MiH’s London jeans, that have a subtle flare with some faux fur and platform shoes or pointy boots.

To work the 80s trend team a leather pencil skirt with a chunky cropped jumper, add sheer tights with socks and team with sporty or pointy shoes.  Finish off the look with a big-shouldered coat – think Melanie-Griffith-Working-Girl.  Alternatively jump into a pair of wide-leg trousers with platforms.

It’s always handy to have a statement white blouse, but never more so than this season because poking your collar over your jumper is a thing again.  Our favourite white shirts this season at QR are the Poet and Louis from British designer MiH, which can be styled with a statement necklace or under a jumper for a dose of preppy daytime chic.

Smart Tips for Instant Outfits this Winter…

[vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][x_video_embed type=”16:9″][/x_video_embed][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]The autumn/winter season can be a tricky one for our wardrobe unless prepared – whilst autumn only began a few weeks ago there is already the risk of falling into a style rut and wearing the same style outfit day in day out.  Instead we want you to make the most out of your wardrobe and embrace the season with all its prints, colour, textures and shapes by following these smart style tips :-

1.  Invest in a statement coat; our new favourite at Quattro Rish is the black long line Tina coat from Twist & Tango.  This is an absolute staple for the winter wardrobe.

2.  Make sure you have a pair of sneakers and ankle boots that can be paired with your favourite jeans, trousers, dresses and skirts; the Sol Sana Luca boot is feminine and on-trend for this season.

3.  Layering plays a large part in our winter wardrobe.  We adore the cat t.shirt by Des Petits Hauts teamed with the chunky knit cardigan from American Vintage.  Style with colour this season and add some winter chic with the sapphire long sleeved top from American Vintage and Becksondergaard wool scarf draped loosely around the shoulders // scarves are big this season.

4.  We take our inspiration from the streets and are obsessed with the way denim is worn by the many style bloggers across Europe.  Boyfriend jeans are everywhere again this season so wear rolled with ankle boots and unrolled with sneakers, don’t worry though as the skinny jean is still a firm favourite!  We adore the cut and finish of the Regina jean from Dr Denim // just add your statement coat for some street style envy.

5.  It’s a good idea to add variety when it comes to knitwear; a chunky cardigan, statement sweater and  oversized knit with colour will cover our favourite knitwear trends.  We adore SET’s statement sweater (shown in the feature photo) – just the right amount of attitude…

6.  And finally glamour, everyone needs a pinch of glamour and this season we are going noir.  The black jumpsuit from American Vintage is elegant and flattering and can be carried from day to evening simply with a change of footwear.  The zip skirt from SET can be worn during the day with sneakers and a statement sweater or with a turtleneck and ankle boots // casual styling made easy!
