The 12 outfits of Christmas: An outfit of masculine tailoring from Zara, Dune and Benetton

Tonight it was all about the shoes! We went round to see some friends which meant that I could wear these ridiculously high shoes with an equally ridiculously thin heel. Less car to bar – more car to living room – but, luckily for me, the principle was still the same.

 

With the taxi outside, the shots were done in 2 seconds flat but I think that you can see enough to get the idea…

 

 

I already had the shoes and trousers in mind but didn’t really feel like going for a sparkly top or silk shirt so dressed it all down with a denim shirt. The shape of the pink coat – less girlie, more masculine, seemed to lend itself to the outfit – so that’s the road I took.

These black Zara trousers have a subtle leopard print worked into them.

These glittery numbers, previously known as shoes and now re-named by the fashion world as single sole shoes because they don’t have a platform (how totally bonkers is that?) were from Dune last Christmas.

This is a pink Mulberry which I used as an oversized clutch.

 

Luckily I was warm and comfortable and appropriately dressed, minus the heels, for a session of “Just Dance” –  a great form of exercise which I think could be quite addictive!

 

We are off up to Newcastle tomorrow so I shall bring you a couple more outfits whilst I am away and then  I will give you all a much needed rest from me! With that in mind, if anyone would like to feature on Style Guile – perhaps you had a favourite outfit over Christmas, or a present that you loved wearing – please let me have your photos to share with the rest of us.
