Wool Wardrobe Essentials

12th October 2016

It’s UK Wool Week 2016 – a great reminder that winter is on its way and it’s time to wrap up warm. If you still need to transition your wardrobe from summer to autumn, consider this your call to action.

Dorothy Perkins at Garden Square Shopping Centre has a great range of wool mix garments that can give you a seasonal style update.

The Jumper

After a sizzlingly hot summer, it’s finally sweater weather, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Dorothy Perkins has a fantastic selection of cute and comfy jumpers to suit all occasions, from slouchy numbers for chilled-out weekends to frilly knits for when you need to be a bit dressier. (Yes, you need a jumper for every occasion. Trust us.)

The Skirt

The wool skirt is back, and we’ve got this season’s sixties revival to thank for it. And it’s a big thank you, because these babies are totally gorgeous. Smart enough for you to hit up the office with some serious workwear chic, these high-waisted designs are ultra-flattering, with straight lines that’ll make it look like your legs go on forever. Team with ankle boots and a high-necked top for super cute style.

The Poncho

Remember when everyone was obsessed with blanket wraps last year? Well, they’re still around for 2016, but in more of a low-key kind of a way. Perfect for layering, ponchos and blankets are a cute alternative to jumpers and cardigans that’ll keep you warm when it’s not quite cold enough to break out your winter coat.

The Coat

The boiled wool coat was a sixties staple for all the most fashionable guys and gals – and it’s making a comeback for AW16. Nothing will keep you warm quite like it. Suitable for smart or casual wear, the boiled wool texture really makes this piece look expensive – even though it isn’t!
