We've definded Hotober as when it’s inordinately, unpredictably hot in October and you just don’t know what to wear. Sound familiar? This week Hannah Almassi shared her 5 tips on how to dress for unseasonally warm weather without showing too much flesh, taken from some of our street style favourites and now you can shop from our top 10 buys of the day to recreate their looks too.
In a nutshell Hotober calls for wardrobe tweaks and tricks, choosing autumnal fabrics, open but closed shoes - culottes are perfect for covering your legs whilst leaving your ankles uncovered and are wide enough for just the right amount of breeze. Sleeveless coats are not only chic but equally practical meaning you won't be ripping it off in hot sweat during your morning commute. If you still want to wear summer's bold and vibrant prints, tone them down with a pale blue shirt - its the perfect foil for dressy fabrics.
