Hello everyone, welcome back to another video. It's a one piece five ways but with a bit of a
twist in that today is one piece eight ways. So I really just felt like I could go on and on and
on and on creating this video and I thought why not extend the five pieces to eight this time
and show you a bit more variety. So today we are focusing on these amazing wine colour trousers
from my new collection with Naked Fashion. Today is actually launch day that I'm filming this
Thursday so by the time you see the video that will be Saturday. I'm really hoping
these are still in stock, fingers crossed, but we also have a skirt which is the same wine colour,
really beautiful midi skirt and also we've got these in black too, a real staple classic
if you didn't see the video or any of the Instagram content. So yeah, let's get into
the trousers, let's get into the looks. As I say, I'm so excited. These are actually probably one,
well if not the main piece in the collection that I kept looking at before the launch,
like desperate to style because I just knew there'd be so many ways and I was really,
really excited about this piece. So look number one. So as always in these videos,
the aim is to show you maximum ways to wear but also maximum occasions and things to style with.
So we've got everything from workwear to dressy, all for one piece of clothing to just show you
how one piece, one staple piece can really bring alive the rest of your wardrobe and I think that
really can be said with these wine colour trousers. So my first look I would say is a bit more of an
office look or you could wear it for the office, smart casual occasion. So I've gone for this
ruffled white blouse from Zara as my base layer. Obviously if it's colder you could swap this for
a jumper, you could layer it with a cardigan underneath but I do love the white against the
wine colour and I think you'll find that this shade actually goes with so much. It's actually
surprising, I know it's a colour but it really is one that goes with a lot which is why I chose it
for the collection. Here I started with the blouse, black blazer but I think there's lots of different
shades of blazers that would go really nicely with this. Any shade of beige, camel, grey, navy,
all would work perfectly with this outfit. So I've gone for the black and then tied that in
with the black boots which are also from my collection. Everything will be linked below
where possible. These are selling fast, hopefully these will still be in stock as well but these
just kind of tie the black from the top to the bottom, the dark shade and they're really
comfortable. Great for work wear as well because they look smart and polished but they're comfortable,
they've got a low heel so it doesn't look too over the top for work wear but also they feel
smart and elevated because of that heel and the slimmer fitting shape. So there's lots to love
about this outfit, just like I say, nice classic easy one for work wear and if you don't have all
of these pieces I think you can find easy alternatives in your wardrobe. A simple white
shirt as opposed to a ruffle shirt etc. Okay so I wanted to show that you don't have to compromise
on your style in the very very cold days and months. So this outfit is a super duper cozy one,
I've got this jumper on from Sarno New York and like I say so many colors working well with the
wine, cream looks so good against the shade. So I've got this cream knit on over the top,
this amazing coat from a brand called Source Unknown Store and it is so warm, like probably
well I'd say the warmest coat I own, it's a new in one for me and it's so warm and cozy. I think
you could wear a t-shirt under this and be fine but yeah I've paired it with the jumper just to
give it that extra cozy warm feel. My boots rustling Bromley just tying in that tan and again
the tan works so nicely against this wine color so don't be put off by the fact that it's a color
thinking maybe it won't be a staple, it actually is but it's not only a staple but something that
also really elevates the look and changes it completely. And then I finished off with my beanie
so I did want to just demonstrate how you can do the trousers for very cold weather. So next in line
I've decided to keep the knit on but for something maybe a milder wintry day I've gone for this brown
coat and the brown New Balance trainers again just tying in the shades, brown another color that
complements the wine really nicely. I love this kind of tonal look, the warmth in it and it's just
a nice one I think again smart casual office wear maybe if you can wear trainers in the office this
outfit would be nice for that because I've got the big chunky bag from Little Liffner with it
but also just kind of running around you want to look smart but not too dressy this is the perfect
outfit for that. Okay so I'm absolutely obsessed with this jacket with the trousers, this is all
you need if you're going out in the evening, in the winter we don't always want to wear a blouse
or a strappy loose top so I've gone for this amazing amazing coat, where is this from? I'll
link it below I can't the name's not coming to me but it's such a good one hopefully that will
still be in stock but it's so cozy but also really glam. Like I said the colors really
complement each other and this icy bluey gray against the wine shade looks so good I've paired
it with some silver accessories but if you wanted to you could just go for some boots with this
actually I think some metallic silver boots would look really nice and I think if you're struggling
to re-wear your party pieces if you maybe bought a pair of metallic boots and aren't sure how to
carry them through pairing them with the leather I think looks really nice and tones them down a
little bit so I think that would look great black boots would look great with this so you can wear
boots white boots would look nice with this I just thought the silver looked quite cool. Okay so next
up we have this blazer combo as I said gray looks so nice a dark gray a light gray anything you
suit really looks good with this shade so I've gone for this blazer from Sana New York this is
kind of a hybrid between a coat and a blazer because it's quite long and then this knit is
from a brand called The Curated but as I say you don't need to have these exact pieces the whole
concept of this video is to give you ideas surrounding one piece and that you can springboard
these ideas into your own wardrobe I mean maybe only three looks suit your style or certain things
you've got in your wardrobe but that's the kind of whole point of the video so you don't have to
go for the gray but it's nice to have the knit and the blazer together and then I finished it
off with these tonal boots you can add some fun accessories in as well I've got these Vela
sunglasses in and my Gucci crossbody and I think adding these little moments of fun or trend-led
accessory completely changes and enhances the look and essentially it's quite classic outfit
but those accessories just transform it and make it a bit more fun okay so as I said I wanted to
show you a real variety in this wardrobe to show you how flexible and versatile these trousers can
be so I wanted to show a different variety of footwear including these loafers so I've gone
for these loafers from Suzanne with a pair of socks I love a socks and loafer combo a very kind of
preppy chic and then I've just done a color sandwich and brought the black into the top to
balance out these chunkier dark loafers I think we need a bit of the dark color on the top and
then I'm also wearing my coat from my collection you can wear it either with the scarf it comes
with the matching scarf around the neck or you could take it off if you wanted to and just wear
the coat open it's such a sleek smart coat and I love how it complements the color of the trousers
I really love tonal dressing as you can tell um but I think it just works so nicely together
and again actually this one would be a really nice one for work but also
going shopping or something like that going out for the day where you want to look pulled together
comfortable um but still got that smart feel so denim was also something I really wanted to put
with the trousers so I've gone for this denim shirt from Massimo Dutti last year or the year
before actually um I've had this a while but I think denim looks so good with the trousers again
it's a classic but also maybe slightly unexpected with the color combination I just think it looks
really good and just an easy combo to feel stylish but still casual at the same time
then I finished off with these um brown boots and then if you wanted to you could completely
change the look by putting a blazer over the top a smart casual coat you could go for a gilet over
the top a chunky cardigan so there's lots of different ways you could layer this up as well
you could also put a very fine polo net jumper underneath if you wanted to so you can get a bit
more creative with this base layer and then finishing finally on the look I'm wearing now
this I think is so nice um just on those days where you don't want to wear trainers you don't
want to wear boots you want to feel a little bit more elegant maybe a little bit more feminine
but still have a stylish edge and I think this look works really nicely if you're going out
maybe to a friend's house going out for a nice lunch something where you're not kind of dressed
up for the evening but still want to look dressy um so I've got these shoes on from Koi Bird
I think these are sold out but I'll try and link something similar if I can't find these
and then I'm wearing this knit from Caramelon and with a tonal outfit um don't worry about
your colors being exactly the same these are definitely not and I was a bit reluctant at first
and then I tried them on together and I thought they worked really nicely um so this is a little
bit more purpley than the trousers which are a bit more ready but they just complement each other
really well I think and I've said this many times but tonal dressing is a really easy simple way to
look stylish if you are kind of a bit unsure of what route to head down with your say if you've
got these trousers and are not sure what where to begin um think about tonal dressing um just
because it's so easy it doesn't have to be anything fancy it can be a simple polo neck like
this nothing fancy very very simple but the tonal just makes it all work and makes it feel a little
bit more chic and stylish and a bit more considered then I've just finished it off with these Missa
Mer chunky hoops and this amazing headband from Amazon I mean you don't have to do the headband
that's just a bit of an icing on the cake for me and I really I've always been into a headband
ever since I was a little girl um I've always had a collection of headbands um and I feel like
they had a big comeback a few years ago but I feel like they're making their way back again
and I love this version as I say from Amazon there's a much more expensive one on Net-A-Porter
and I've been eyeing it up and then I found this on Amazon so I thought absolute no-brainer
um and it just kind of um makes the outfit feel a little bit more dressy so I hope this has been
useful for you if it has give it a thumbs up and also leave me a comment your favorite outfit let
