Winter Fashion for Mums Who Live in the Tropics

By Mummyfique Contributor
December 8, 2016

Fashion trends are ever changing and usually follow the seasons of the year. However, to keep up with them can be a challenge for those of us who reside in the tropics, when the trends for the season may not exactly be weather appropriate for our local climate.

So it takes a bit of ingenuity to adapt what’s seen on the runway into everyday wear. Mummyfique has invited Lisa Aiken, Retail Fashion Director of Net-A- Porter to share tips and outfits for mums to look stylish and on point for the winter season even if they live in the tropics.

Look 1: Classic yet Modern

For the mum on-the-go who is looking for an outfit with modern appeal, pair a classy shirt dress with a pair of kitten heel pumps. Contrast the flowy silhouette of the look with a structured tote.

Look 2:  Retro Chic

Layer a wardrobe basics with chic pieces such as this Attico satin jacket that has been reimagined from a classic film — the look will give off ‘modern screen goddess’ vibes. Choose pieces with embellishments to further channel a vintage vibe.

Look 3: Street Style

Pair wide leg trousers with a feminine top that sits nonchalantly off-the-shoulder for a casual street look. Complete the look by slipping on lowtop sneakers.
