Cosy couture for a cooler climate

Sep 20 2007 by Laura Davis, Liverpool Daily Post

Laura Davis checks out this season’s long and slender knitwear

Lilac cardi, £40; brown T-shirt, £4.50; blue boyfriend jeans, £33.

KNITS have always been a staple for our winter wardrobe, but this season, the bigger the better.

Longer lengths are the way to go, worn either as sweater dresses or as oversized jumpers with skinny jeans or slim-leg trousers.

Don’t lose your figure underneath all that wool, though – cinch in your waist with a belt for this season’s curve-conscious look.

Left: beige V-neck, £12; green check skirt, £38; camel bag, £18; model's own boots. Right: Lilac polo neck, £18; grey tailored skirt with belt, £38; model's own boots

Slimmer knits are also making an appearance, with tank tops worn over shirts for the office and polo necks under sleeveless dresses or over skirts.

* MAYCROFT House, a block of luxurious duplex apartments, is the location for this week’s fashion shoot. Situated in the leafy suburbs, close to Sefton Park, the two-bedroom apartments have been built to high-quality specifications and include special features such as a bio-jet “whirlpool” bath.

Left: Aqua cardi, £28; brown T-shirt, £4.50; blue boyfriend jeans, £33. Right: Green cowl neck top, £18; brown cords, £22; leather bag, £80

There are just two apartments still available to buy. Details from Sutton Kersh on 0151 734 0666.
