Style inspiration

Warm cosy cashmere and merino wool sweaters.

It is freezing here in London, definitely time to wrap up warm in cosy cashmere or merino wool sweaters. Keep the chill at bay even when you go for a brisk walk and explore the countryside at the week-end.

The gorgeous pink 100% 3 ply cashmere cowl neck sweater I am wearing in the photo is from WoolOvers.  A brand I was not previously familiar with, although they were established in 1989. It is extremely soft and I love the deep cowl neckline.  The styles at WoolOvers are chic as well as warm. They offer a selection of quality natural knitwear at what I consider very reasonable prices.

If you prefer a merino wool, which I find a practical everyday option.

They offer some sophisticated, smart styles that are body temperature and figure forming. Perfect for busy active lives.

For a casual week-end look I have chosen their 100% merino V neck long line jumper in khaki. A colour I am flirting with this season and growing very fond of.

WoolOvers also offer a good mens range. Ideal as a gift for the men in your life. I have it on my list for my son-in-law.

The sweaters I am wearing were kindly gifted to me by WoolOvers. Opinions are my own. (I deliberately chose  a size larger than I normally take as I wanted a relaxed oversize look)

NOW FOR A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. My great friend Vicki Archer is offering a Christmas giveaway. The most fantastic opportunity to win A WEEK IN PROVENCE at her beautiful “Petit Bijou” in Provence. I can attest that it is a stunning location.  We love the South of France. So relaxing and there are some wonderful places to explore. For details on how to enter the competition click here.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • I love that cowl neck sweater: both the style and color. So I went to their site and it "saw" that I was from the U.S. So, for all your readers here, they actually redirected me to the U.S. site which then offers free shipping! And first up was the Funnel Neck Cardigan: perfect for my climate when a coat is not needed so often. Thank you, once again, for great information! And yes, of course, I entered the Giveaway!!

    • Thanks for letting me know Libby. I know some sites do this but was not sure this one did. Modern technology. Glad you like the sweater.
      Good luck with the giveaway

  • The sweaters look gorgeous, I have made a camel coloured bag and I wear it with a fake leopard skin scarf, well done Josephine I love your page, hope you are feeling better now.
