Winnipeg fashion part 3: fall
Fall is probably the easiest Winnipeg season to dress for. The weather ranges from crisp to balmy and the mild temperatures allow you to do one of iPeg’s favorite things in the world: Layer. Scarves, cardigans, tights, boots, necklaces and knits. Layer them, layer them and layer some more. The trick is to look like an Olsen twin in bag lady chic, not an actual bag lady.
Stay away from: Small bags
With all of these layers, anything smaller than a grocery bag is going to look ridiculously out of proportion. Store your miniature cross-body satchels and tiny clutches till spring. If you’re unsure about whether your purse is hefty enough, simply do the iPeg iPad test, if your iPad doesn’t fit in your purse, it’s too small.
Try out: Opaque tights.
Nothing layers quite like a great pair or two of thick, footed tights. They provide an easy way to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall and make flirty shifts, skirts and wedges weather-appropriate. Go with a dark color, either classic black or an unexpected eggplant or hunter green hue for maximal leg lengthening, thigh trimming effect. Make sure that they are made of strong but stretchy fabric and that they are long enough for your body type, there’s nothing attractive about a low hanging crotch.
Wear with: Black, high heeled oxfords, tweed shorts, an old band shirt, oversized chunky knit cardigan and huge scarf.
