Fashion; Oxfam Street Style by Artemisia

Adam's fantastic flair and smile drew our attention and we had to invite him to enter our street style competition.  He wore a dashing brown velvet jacket with a grey waistcoat and a green hat that brought it all together.

 

When Adam came down to the shop he put together a more casual version of his "English gentleman style" and chose some great accessories to compliment his own clothes.  He chose a pair of stylish leather gloves (which Louise also chose later on!), a warm patterned scarf and a big woollen jumper that all worked fantastically with his own clothes. 





On the same day we saw Philip (pictured centre) with his friends.  He was wearing a check shirt over a woollen cardigan and a graphic t-shirt, with skinny jeans and stylish brown boots.


When Philip came to choose his clothes he picked out a stylish pair of dark skinny Topman jeans and a soft blue Reiss jumper (which he then purchased! Thanks Philip!)

 


Reiss jumper 10.99 sold to Philip
Jeans Topman 7.99 M
Belt £4.99


Fashion : I’m back! by Louisa

Good morning everyone it’s Louisa the French summer intern, I’ve decided to come back to Manchester for a few days (there was not enough rain in France). Of course I couldn’t come to Manchester without coming back to my lovely Oxfam shop, and just stay few minutes to write a fashion post.

Autumn is the perfect season for fashion: you can wear anything that you want whether it’s a summer dress with black tights or a big winter sweater without a jacket.

The outfit for today is a 60`s one, we matched a dogtooth pattern high wasted skirt (a come back for the autumn-winter season, £4.99) with a simple white thin jacket (Jane Norman £7.99). It’s a really simple base for an outfit so we decided to accessorise it so we added the fake fur chále which is both warm and ladylike (£4.99), the gloves (£5.99) and the classic pearl necklace (£3.99). The perfect vintage touch is the leather bag (£ 12.99). Being vintage is trendy but the point of fashion is to adapt old trends for our time so that is why we added the high heel shoes (vera pelle £9.99).
