‘Wardrobe update – the next season’s style rules

The big coat edit – from fab faux fur to modern capes, coats are such fun – one might not be enough!!

Anything goes- it’s time to try something new

The classic –

From creamy latte to basic black get your fix of winters neutrals with the gina” catalina’ coat – buy now and wear forever!!

Try sleeveless for work- gina style “audrey”- over a crisp white shirt and tailored black pants.

The trench update –

Try the traditional “rodrigo” trench from gina in classic wardrobe colors or seek one out in high-shine pvc candy colours and supersoft suede.

The primary pop-

Winter doesn’t mean dark and dreary in sunny SA so go for a bold colored coat in bright red, yellow or blue.

Military maxis-

Shiny belts buckles and buttons add military detail to maxi coats in uniform colours. Try the gina “catalina” in super long length to solve the bare legs vs tights dilemma!!

Double check and heritage tweeds

From classic dogtooth – ladylike and cut to perfection – to punchy patchwork choose your check – the classic check bridges the gap between trend and tradition – see it as the new season leopard…. Wear with dark jeans and quirky accessories …. Loving the faux fur scarf. The oversized blanket check coat overtakes the parka as the new off- duty favourite.

Cape crusaders –

Meet the coolest new coat trend – wear it draped over simple slouchy pants and fresh white leather pumps- takes a boyish look to the next level.

Invest in a clutch bag, wrist or top handle style to complete the look.

Fun faux and shaggy furs

Joyful at the weekend – pick a fun multicolored style with dressed down trousers and trainers. Fabulous at night – a classic neutral like pale grey looks expensive and chic. Wear with chandelier earrings for sparkle.

And yes -full on faux fur might be a bit ott for the office so liven up your work coat with a fur scarf stole or collar in a bright colour! Chic, confident and seriously cool.
