Summer to Autumn Styling

When we are still at the tail end of summer, it is especially important to dress ready for for any weather, and any temperature! 

This is a super smart styling inspo, as you start with a sleeveless base layer, meaning you are prepared for a day which eventually turns out to be unexpectedly hot and sunny. However, the knitted tank is fab if it is sunny but with occasional cool breeze. Finally, the Guinea Mayfair blazer is perfect for when the weather stays overcast and cool.

This is a wonderful outfit for indoors or outdoors, as it allows you to easily adapt to whatever environment you find yourself in.

Layering is not just exclusively for your everyday wear, such as shirts and jumpers, layering is equally key for your outerwear. 

You might start your day with a school run, dog walk, or stable duties and one coat and a thin jumper just isn't enough, but by later in the day you might be over-heating, in your chunky knit, so why not try this 3 layer combo instead:

1. A thin, wool roll neck: warm but not bulky.

2. A gilet or tank top: Gives additional warmth to the body without restricting the arms. The Guinea gilet comes with a removeable faux fur collar - talk about versitile!

3. Jacket/Coat: This final layer protects from the elements of rain and wind and keeps you toasty and warm.

These 3 layers is the ideal way to make sure you can go through your busy day without worrying you made the wrong wardrobe decision.

Having a capsule wardrobe really comes into its own at this time of year, as you will already have so many of your key pieces in place! If you want to learn more about creating a capsule wardrobe, see the blog links at the end of this piece, but in the mean time, the key essentials items we would suggest are:

• A shirt you absolutely love in a natural fibre for breathability.

• A thin jumper, once again made with natural fibres, so you stay toasty and warm without feeling swamped by fabric.

• A versatile coat, Guinea's velvet coats are made of cotton velvet meaning they are lovely and light while keeping you super stylish and warm. To shop our full range of velvet coats click the button below.

Layering isn't just about the clothing - it's about the accessories too… These are our top, over-looked items, which can be a layering lifesavers.

• A light-weight scarf

   

• Tights

   

• Sunglasses

   

• A belt - this helps showcase your shape which may have been concealed by the layering!

   

• Fingerless gloves. We love these fingerless tweed mittens by Maud & Fox
