WALK ON SUNSHINE
On autumn sunshine. In pillowy coats, snug knitwear and swishy dresses.
Autumn is for ambling, for gentle strolls and aimless ambles, and so we’ve pulled together some looks for the little saunters you’ll most certainly be doing. Walk on the (slightly less) wild side.
You said you left ten minutes ago
But then you absolutely had to find that lipstick you had the other day that you think you maybe put in a different bag
But luckily, this coat is throw-on- and-go-able
The smartness of an overcoat with quilted arms for all the cosiness of the pillow you only just left behind
No one will ever guess you didn’t spend all morning outfit planning
For Pete’s sake, where is the harissa?
Even if Tom and Claire turn up early (as they always do) at least you’ll look amazing
In a boho printed midi and wool mix coat in a rich plum
With a padded, removable inner so you don’t even have to grab a jumper
Because you really must hurry to get to the shop
Tom’s just messaged to say they’re in the taxi
A dog opens up conversations
As does a really nice coat
Who knows who you’re going to meet on your local park nature hike?
And this checked coat with removable inner always looks good
Ideal for bumping into friends, C-list celebrities and cockapoos
And cockapoos are in all truthfulness, the most likely rendezvous
You’ve got a spare 10 minutes
Walking somewhere with nothing to do seems purposeless. Boring
Hopefully mum doesn’t cotton on to the fact that you’re just on your way to the train
In a cuddly, vintage-inspired fairisle knit and a smart peacoat you can wear for work and weekends
Oh wait, it’s gone to her answerphone
You forget she’s actually the one with the more exciting social life
They’re all declaring this is the best pub for a Sunday roast
It’s high praise
While you debate the ooziness of the cauliflower cheese, you’ve got to walk off the sleepy fullness
In a tweed mac with a contrast collar and a belted waist
That you can untie
Because honestly, you don’t want to admit it, but that actually was the best massive Yorkshire and crispy-but-fluffy roasties you’ve ever had
Look at that sunset
Luckily you didn’t make plans tonight
Pull on a cloud-like quilted coat in a sun-drenched hue and a floaty ochre midi
And watch your step count rise
Chasing sunsets. In Hollywood
Or Horsham or Hexham or wherever
