As we gradually move into the easing of the lockdown regulations in South Africa, we are faced with the freezing cold weather. Which means the layering season has fallen before us and we can finally say goodbye to summer bliss-but who said you can’t look good during winter?, well I’ve compiled 5 cute affordable Autumn/Winter items for the ladies worn by some of my favourite influncers

Puffer Cuteness.

Puffer jackets are not only warm (which is totally important) but also there is a streetstyle element that they bring to outfits (also just as important!). I mentioned that puffer jackets are all about individuality, you can dress them down with long and even short sweats or mix it up with a cute denim skirt or even some chunky boots and VOILA you’ve won yourself some street cred! The black womens’ puffer jacket is priced at R449.99 at The Fix.

BOOT’ies

Whether thigh-high, ankle, black, brown, suede or leather- boots, these are a must have. I’ve seen a gradual difference in boot styles and I’ve witnessed the versatility in styling them. I’m for one here for ankle boots. Normally boots are pretty expensive but I spotted a reasonably priced boot that will sure keep you warm and looking fabulous all at the same time. The western/cow boy aesthetic came into play right after Lil Nas blessed us with ‘Old Time Road’ and when I say that this Yeehaw theme was everywhere- I MEAN EVERYWHERE, from fashion ramps, celebrities, to street style and right down to fast fashion brands.

TEDDY BEAR FEELS

Teddy coats were major for winter 2019 and she is back people! This cozy item is perfect for winter/autumn, It’s literally the perfect blend between over heat consumption and sultry luxurious living…obviously depending on how you dress this coat.

Biker Chic.

You can never go wrong with a good quality leather jacket, there is a bada#$ yet sophisticated vibe that it gives off. Leather jackets are timeless and effortless, they have seen the good and bad times in history and hey guess what?! They are still a must have winter item even for 2020.

JEAN’Y FROM THE BLOCK.

Every girl needs…actually deserves a great pair of jeans, its just a must have all season round. Jeans are a essential item this winter, you can never go wrong with a figure hugging jean that just hugs your figure in the most magical way ever! TIP: Always check if the back pockets of the denim jean sit perfectly on your bum, it just gives it a nice, round shape. (Who doesn’t want that?!)

Essentially its all about looking good whilst staying warm and comfortable. You can really mix match all these items to create you favorite look.

If comfort is your thing then this post is all for you comfort queen. Sneakers have become a must have in any wardrobe, they vary in style, colour and size. They have become a bragging ticket and also to let others know which style tribe you belong to. It’s interesting to see what the sneaker culture has become and where it once was years ago. Sneaker brands have been able to accommodate females with cool feminine colours and styles that sneakers heads will appreciate and have appreciated all over the world.

I checked out a few of them and here is who I spotted rocking them.

Chuck Taylor Converse.

If there was one word to describe these sneakers that word would be ‘Iconic’. You can never go wrong with a pair of All Stars; these shoes are made for comfort and laid-back swag. What’s so amazing about these sneakers is the many colours that they have and how easy styling can be, a good pair of jeans and your favourite tee could be a match made in Converse heaven. The popularity of these sneakers started in the 60’s and have never gone out of style, be sure to grab yourself a pair the next time you go shopping. Stylist Boogy Maboi was spotted wearing a pair of Chuck Taylor All Star Animal Print Suede High Top

Balenciaga Triple S

This style is an oldie but has fastracked its way into becoming a newbie, Sketchers sneakers were the first pair of dad sneakers in the 90’s. They may have lost their cool then but definitely made a huge comeback thanks to Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia who is the creative director of Balenciaga, he was able to incorporate these in Balenciaga’s Menswear Spring/Summer 2018 show and things have never been the same since then. This trend is everywhere and for those who might have thought that was it they have a whole thing coming for them because the chunky dad pair is here to stay. I spotted the Balenciaga Tripple S Sneaker taking over the sneaker culture and We love to see more of it, street style has catapulted the popularity of these with our favourite influencers rocking them.

Nike Air Max 270 React Sneakers

Your outfit could be straight up boring but try these and see how you will continue to turn heads. According to Nike these sneakers are lightweight and layered the no -sew material creates a modern aesthetic and I could not agree more. The colours are vibrant and contribute to the pop of colour style. The look and feel of these shoes have a futuristic vibe and the attention to detail is impeccable these statement sneakers are a must have. If this is your vibe you better start saving up those coins before they run out!

Adidas Stan Smith.

This one is for the simple gals, the all-time stan smiths are still a favourite right now, the simple tennis like shoe is great for a Uni look and even a brunch date with your favourite girls. Adidas mentions on their website that these shoes are a timeless style that look good with all outfits. If statement sneakers aren’t your thing then these can definitely be booted up your list.

Air Force 1

Another timeless piece presented by Nike. These sneakers can be worn by every sneaker head out there. These aren’t meant for shooting hoops in the court anymore but also made for everyday looks too. The famous white minimal aesthetic is loved by all but also there are electric colours that can be bought also sneaker art has made its way onto the air force 1 with many customising their sneakers according to their personalities.

I’ve wrapped up some of the best classics as well as new-school sneakers that people have been digging on the streets. Sneakers are all about comfortability and have turned into a style must have for everyone, whether you are into sneakers or not, having a cute stylish pair would not hurt at all. They say good shoes take you to good places maybe these sneakers can take you to some cool places as well.
