Just because the weather has turned all grim and gloomy and the torrential rain has lead us to spend the majority of the week tucked up in bed, does not mean any revealing clothing is prohibited for the rest of the season. After all, we never really get scorching summers where skimpy hot pants and belly-baring crop tops are the ultimate fundamentals. Over the past years, us Brits have become pros when it comes to tran-seasonal dressing and weather-proofing our wardrobes, so why not invest in a covetable piece which looks great with your woolly jumpers but oh-so chic with a mini tshirt and summer boots. Introducing the wrap skirt – diverse enough to look good with most your wardrobe and nonchalant enough to keep raking in the style points come rain or shine.
This little Kenzo number, available at Net-a-Porter, is the must-have to be seen in this autumn and a great excuse to dig out your woolly tights. Nail the print trend this season with this quirky eye motif with a smart monochrome colour scheme and voila! A stop-and-stare (excuse the pun) outfit lift to give Cara Delevingne a run for her money. Inspired by the iconic eye print discovered on a trip to India, Kenzo designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim chose the eye as their main pattern for their AW 13 collection. Made from the most lavish leathers, this Kenzo beauty showcases the season’s asymmetric wrap technique giving our beloved mini skirt an innovative twist. Team with your faithful woolly tights and winter boots for library etiquette or glam it up with heels and a sexy blouse for late night escapades. Needless to say, you need more cash than dash to be able to fork out for this £740 money-burner, but with all our favourite High street stores stocking similar, if not better alternatives, you have no excuse not to bare those pins.
