At Style Palace we love our food almost as much as our fashion and as the mercury begins to take a dive, the cooler weather provides the perfect excuse to step out in style and enjoy some of this season’s most gorgeous food and wines.
If you are like us, you will be switching from the chilled summer white wines to something a little richer so why not grab the girls and head to your favourite laneway bar for a cosy glass of red or an espresso martini? It’s the perfect excuse to christen the new knee-high leather boots and show off your favourite jumper dress (we love Sumakhi’s Slash Jumper Dress). Just make sure you throw a scarf in your handbag if the bar is outdoors!
If you are in the mood for something heartier, many restaurants are now showcasing more substantial meals such as homemade pastas, risottos or a slow-cooked ragu so be sure to wear something with an expandable waistline that doesn’t compromise on style! Pair high sheen leggings or slouch pants with killer heels and wear them with a relaxed cardi or cape on the top half such as Stylestalker’s Hollow Knit Cape or the TLuxe Christmas Jones Scrunch Sleeve Cardi.
Or if a crazy night on the town is more your thing, the cold winter weather does not mean you have to sacrifice style for a little bit of warmth. You can be both practical and show-stopping in a woollen mini dress such as the Viktoria & Woods Military Mini Dress worn with opaques or if you really want to turn heads, go for lace dress with three quarter sleeves. A leather jacket or woollen trench thrown over the top can provide an added layer of warmth and is easily cast aside when it’s time to hit the dance floor.
Finally, who can go past the lazy weekend breakfast? Sunday brunch is always a wonderful way to keep the winter chills away and every city has its favourite venues. Pick the cosiest café, grab your girlfriends and rug up with an oversized cropped jumper, your comfiest harem or Kalahari pants and a Viktoria and Woods Wide Stripe Scarf for a casual yet super-stylish look. Add Eggs Benedict and your favourite coffee to the mix and you have the perfect Sunday morning!
So, whoever said winter was the time to hibernate obviously doesn’t know what they are missing! Chefs around the country spend as much time coordinating their new season menu as you do your wardrobe so give them the respect they deserve and make the most of everything winter has to offer!
