ON-TREND PINSTRIPES AND MERLOT TONES - AMANDA HOLDEN JUST SHOWED US HOW TO DO BOTH
Amanda Holden demonstrated the perfect combination of sharp pinstriped tailoring and trending red wine hues as she stepped out in one of our favourite autumn outfits we've seen this year.
The broadcaster arrived at the Heart radio studios on Monday for her usual breakfast show slot, showing us exactly how chilly weather tailoring and colours of the season should be done.
We all know the drill when it comes to autumn fashion colour trends. Rich reds, warming oranges, deep mauves and chocolate browns are in every time the leaves begin to change. And Amanda demonstrated exactly how to style a head-to-toe merlot moment, especially when it comes to a chic trouser suit.
A timeless pinstripe print is one of the easiest ways to inject a feel of elegance into your winter capsule wardrobe - and can be particularly powerful when combined with a sleek pair of trousers and button-up blazer like Amanda's.
Taking to Instagram to share details of her look, Amanda shared that her two-piece is the Lana Pinstripe Woven Sweetheart-Neck Tailored Top and Asteria Burgundy Pinstripe Wide-Leg Trousers
The ultra-feminine neckline of the form-fitting top creates the perfect contrast to the flowing wide-leg trousers, offering a silhouette that flatters and elongates.
& Other Stories is a great go-to if you're after a blazer or a pair of trousers to invest in and keep in your wardrobe for years - we love this deep red wool number with matching bottoms.
If longline and loose isn't your style when it comes to styling a blazer, try a more fitted cropped cut like this River Island one.
Love high waist and wide-leg when it comes to trousers? This flowing and flattering River Island pair are an easy way to wear burgundy pinstripes.
Go bold in striking oxblood red with this Miss Selfridge blazer and trouser co-ord, available to shop on ASOS.
Struggle to find trousers long enough? This Long Tall Sally pair are ideal for those with longer legs and look gorgeous paired with creamy cable knit.
Slouchy, stylish and with super subtle pinstripes, this bargain linen-blend H&M pick is a versatile piece that's kind on the bank account.
Rivkie Baum, Digital Fashion Editor at woman&home, is all for blending bold autumnal tones with strong tailoring, and loves the way Amanda pulled it off.
Rivkie says, "Wearing two trends of the season: androgynous tailoring and merlot tones. Amanda regularly delivers wearable style inspiration, and this look is now different.
"The pinstripe pattern alongside Amanda's tonally matching shoes elongates the star's frame, drawing the eye up the silhouette, making her look longer and leaner. Pinstripes have made a strong return to both the high street and the runway, and this retro aesthetic is a great choice for those looking to add height with ease," she adds.
Amanda's exact shoes are an affordable Aldo pick - and she kept the look cohesive even when she layered up for the November weather in London, wearing a longline burgundy coat draped over her shoulders, allowing her suit to do most of the talking.
