FOXXY FASHION TIPS When it comes to celebrating winter style, British designer label Timothy Foxx have fashion all sewn up with their gorgeous collection of country tweed pieces. In this feature, Timothy Foxx’s designer Rosalie Eustace, gives her top tips on ‘what’s hot and what’s not’ for autumn. We always stick to our country roots without losing our focus on fashion trends, but just like we do – try not to be a slave to them! Only ever pick out those trends each season that suit you. This winter for example military is a key story on the catwalk, so we have taken hints of this and introduced this through braiding and polished chrome buttons to give a strong fashion feel to some of our jackets. If you like a fashion trend, pick elements rather than copying it head to toe –this way you will look chic not silly! Equestrian inspired fashion is also back on track for this season, so why not team your leather riding boots (cleaned of course!!) with a pair of great jeans, statement scarf, t-shirt and jacket for a look that wouldn’t look out of place in Paris or Portsmouth this winter! Also you may have heard fashionistas talking a lot about ‘investment buying’? This is the big trend in shopping habits, whereby people are tending to save up for those signature pieces or investing in just one key item, which will make an impact to their wardrobe, be it their work or play wardrobes. Stylists do this a lot; they buy one key item and work their wardrobe around it with cheaper items from the high street – makes sense! Personally we love tweed (Of course!) and we love mixing it up with some urban styling. Wearing a hoodie underneath a single-breasted tweed jacket really works, as well as keeping you nice and toasty on those cold winter days! Or a polo shirt teamed with a pair of skinny jeans, heels and lashing of jewellery gives you instant glamour! This summer, hot pants were a key trend both on the high street and catwalk and ours proved very popular, including our versions with a vintage inspired Union Jack printed fabric bottom! Just because winter has arrived, it doesn’t mean that you can’t wear them anymore – simply team up with a thick denier pair of tights and some chunky flat boots and you have rock chick without feeling the cold! Same goes for our cute flirty mini-skirts, we sell great cable knit over the knee socks which look great again worn with knee high boots and tights. The key this winter is layering, so go for a long sleeve top underneath your polo shirt and enjoy wearing your summer favourites all year around! 32 Everything Horse UK Magazine • Issue 13 • October 2014
