Winter has dawned us a new feel, and a new mood and a new palette for our wardrobes..and as I sit here at Huski lodge, it's just past the first week of Autumn, no snow yet here at Falls Creek (Victorian Alpine), I'm here waiting for my husband to return from a Lycra clad crowd of fanatic cyclists.. my mind beginning to wonder about a Winter wardrobe, and what to wear when visiting the slopes????
Why do we all have the same picture in our minds when we think of "Lodge wear"?
- Turtle Neck - Cable Knit or a Pointelle design
- Fitted trouser
- Eskimo Boots or Boots with a Yettie Iike nature
- Perhaps an eastern European themed Fur Cheappo`
- Rich Creams, Tans, Espresso and Midnight hues
- Glass of red in the hand,....'Schnapps' even
- Cozy spot by the fire
Right???
The look is classic, timeless even, and being sported all around the world as the universal uniform of 'Lodge wear'
So.....
1) How does one stand out in this crowd of stylish repetition?
2) How can we make this look carry a modern point of difference?
Here's How: It's an Alpine Lounge Look
- Go for a longer version of a cable knit in Angora, Lambs wool or Mohair.The length should cover the hip line, but not as long as a dress.
- Team it up with a wool tight, then add an 'over the knee' sock in the colour of your choice. Go for a dusty hue. Lambs wool socks are readily available this season and gorgeous!
- Add a boot, which can be 'over the knee' but not as high as you sock, keep a touch of colour exposed.
- Wear a long knitted patterned scarf and ravel it our your collar a few times
- Finish the look with a leather Jacket (Collar up) and you're ready to go in comfort, warmth and style.
Need more charm?? Add a wool Felt Cloche
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!!!
Rug up...the winter chill is quickly approaching
