Title: Winter Coats to Fall in Love with Right Now

Text: 
A stylish coat – at the very core of any fashion girl's cold-weather wardrobe – has the ability to smarten you up, lift outfits and, most importantly, keep you warm during cool climes.

Coat shopping is a fine sartorial tightrope to tread. You want it to look trendy but stay relevant for more than a year; to look expensive but not bankrupt you entirely, and be the perfect finishing touch to outfits without outshining what’s underneath. 

It’s not an easy endeavour, that’s for sure, but – if you know where to look – your winter coat promises to be a piece you will wear all the way from now until February and for years to come. 

The good news is that, this season, designers and high street stores have upped their outerwear game – offering a multitude of standout pieces that strike the perfect balance between timely and timeless. But, which one will you choose?

While those looking to imbue their closet with a heavy dose of drama should look no further than the ankle-skimming maxi-coat trend, fans of old-school silhouettes will be pleased to hear that the trench is back in a big way for autumn/winter 2019 (AW19), albeit with a novel twist. 

When it comes to cold-weather dressing, shearling is always a winner for those that aim to spend this winter cocooned in their coat. And, if you want to add a touch of old school glamour into the mix, consider the cape which makes for the perfect accompaniment to after-dark ensembles. 

Plummeting temperatures are no excuse for letting your sartorial standards slip. So, to help kick off your new season shopping trip, we’ve rounded up our pick of the five best coat trends to be seen in this autumn/winter.

Title: Are You Ready for the New Macaron Hair Color Trend?

It looks like every popular Instagram food trend will eventually inspire a new hair color. Our Pumpkin Spice Latte obsession led to a rich shade of copper. And now the latest color craze takes its cue from Instagram’s most popular dessert: macarons.

The photogenic treat comes in pastel hues like lavender, baby pink, peach, pale yellow and mint green, making it the perfect inspiration for a soft multidimensional hair color.

Shelley Gregory of Las Vegas’s Atelier by Square Salon created the look to mirror the macarons in Paris’ Ladurée pastry shop, Cosmopolitan reports. To achieve the look, Gregory hand paints sections of the hair in layers, using varying shades of pastel color.

Macaron hair blends the aforementioned colors with baby blue and silver for a muted yet mesmerizing look. Braids really make the color variation pop, but macaron hair is just as stunning styled in twin buns (with glitter roots, of course). Our favorite macaron-inspired hairstyle? A fresh blowout that gives us dreamy unicorn vibes. Swoon!

Title: Oils That Will Give You a Perfect Winter Complexion

Because of its greasy nature, oil is the black sheep of the beauty world. But just as there are good oils for your diet, the right natural oils can keep your skin moisturized, smooth, and glowing — and even fight breakouts — without any slimy residue.

If you have acne or sensitive skin, make sure you do a patch test before you commit to a particular oil.)

Read on to find out how these 11 oils might be the natural solution for your beauty problems.

Argan oil is surrounded by more hype than U2's new album — and the consensus is that the hype is justified (for both). Extracted from the kernels found in the fruit of Moroccan argan trees, argan oil has high levels of vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. While it first claimed fame as a savior for dry, damaged hair, the oil also works wonders on the face and body. "The fatty acids help our skin cells make healthy membranes, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy collagen," says Joshua Zeichner, an assistant professor of dermatology at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, in New York City.

Packed with heart-healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, flaxseed is important for a healthy heart and complexion. You can mix the seeds in foods, or use the oil as a topical moisturizer, says Howard Sobel, MD, an attending physician in dermatology and dermatologic surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City. "It has anti-inflammatory properties, and studies have shown that if taken daily, it can improve skin conditions such as eczema in just three months."

While technically a wax, jojoba (pronounced ho-HO-ba) oil has a chemical structure that's very similar to our skin's natural oils, so it's easily absorbed. Dermatologists recommend it because it also contains such minerals as zinc and copper, and vitamins B and E, which help strengthen the skin.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! A classic LBD is an absolute must for every woman’s wardrobe – elegant and timeless, you can’t go wrong! A Bardot-style neckline or a mock turtle neck can be alluring and classic all at once. A sleeveless or long sleeve black dress captures the attention of everyone around you. Keep it simple with a solid black colour, so you can up the ante with accessories and shoes. For events such as weddings, corporate evenings or dinner with your friends, cocktail or tea-lengths are the perfect fit. Whether you prefer A-line, bodycon, empire waist or a shift silhouette, you won’t falter with this classic.

Pitti Uomo (in English, "Pitti Men"), is one of the world's most important platforms for men's clothing and accessory collections, and for launching new projects in men's fashion. It's held twice yearly in Florence, at the Fortezza da Basso.

The first edition of Pitti Uomo was held in Florence in September 1972.The exhibition provided a platform for raising the profile of Italian designers and now has achieved international stature as a leading fashion fair. Pitti Uomo is credited with making dandyism acceptable to a wider audience. The 88th edition of Pitti Uomo (Pitti 88) in June 2015 hosted 30,000 visitors in total. The Pitti Immagine Uomo 2015 Award went to Lardini, and the Pitti Immagine Career Award was awarded to Nino Cerruti. Pitti Immagine Uomo 89 was held 12–15 January 2016 with 1,219 exhibitors. Pitti Uomo 90 was held in Florence 14–17 June 2016. Brands showed their Fall/Winter 2017 men's collections at Pitti Uomo 91 on 10–13 January 2017. Pitti Uomo 92 in June 2017 hosted 30,000 visitors and 1,220 brands in an exhibition area of 60,000 sq. meters. Carlo Rivetti, owner of the brand Stone Island, has been an adviser of Pitti Immagine.

Title: About Fashionate 
Image: [resources/pages/about-page.jpg]

Fashion is a state of mind. A spirit, an extension of one’s self. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream or an all knowing wink and a smile. Most of all fashion is about being comfortable with yourself, translating self-esteem into a personal style.

Why is it important?

Fashion is a means of self-expression that allows people to try on many roles in life. Whether you prefer hip-hop or Chanel-chic, fashion accommodates the chameleon in all of us. It’s a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in which we live. Fashion is about change which is necessary to keep life interesting. It’s also a mirror of sorts on society. It’s a way of measuring a mood that can be useful in many aspects, culturally, socially even psychologically. At the same time, fashion shouldn’t be taken too seriously or you lose the fun of it.

How do you know what will be hot in the future?

The collections in Paris, New York and Milan, and now London, typically set the stage for the industry one year in advance. Though, I think the street is the real barometer of style. More and more designers are drawing their inspiration from life on the street. So once again, there is a link to personal style and fashion. A teenager can throw something together without thinking about it and it can trigger a new trend.

How do you choose what to wear in the morning?

It depends on my day, mood and what’s clean. If I have an important meeting or presentation, I put more thought into what I will wear. But on my most days, I dress to my mood which can range from funky to retro to classical. Then again, there are days when my laundry basket dictates what I ultimately wear.
