Defining Autumn - The AW17 Forcast Edit

She is confident, feminine and tasteful in her sense of style and dresses for success on a day-to-day basis.

?The Forcast woman is chic, style-minded at heart and effortlessly dresses for success to take her from desk to date and beyond...

Kavienna's third edit for 2017 covers the capsule wardrobe to create your ultimate AW17 Corporate Wear for the season. 

I am excited embarking with Forcast together with Kavienna on launching the Forcast AW17 range, 'Fashionable working women challenging traditional workwear'. 

??Today's well-dressed woman is spoilt for choice when it comes to coats and jackets. Nevertheless, there are certain types of coats that are essential components of a stylish wardrobe.

The 'Maria Lightweight Trench Coat'  is an essential part of the well-dressed woman's wardrobe. Adored by style icons as diverse as Jackie Kennedy and Kate Moss, there is barely a fashionable woman who does not wear one regular. It is the most versatile of coats, smartening up casual jeans and tops but also equally well suited to a dress. The basic mid-length trench in a neutral colour is an obvious choice, but don't be shy to throw your own persona and flair by adding a pop of colour! Best of all, it suits every body shape. 

To complement the essential office capsule I have paired the look with a classic day dress, the 'Chelsea Turtle Neck Dress'. Traditionally sleeveless and with a simple round or turtleneck, falling to the knee (or occasionally, slightly above or below). As with most dresses, fashion dictates subtle changes such as the wool garberdine texture works well to keep you warm in the transitional weather changes. 

Finish off the midas touch to your outfit by a classic Hermes-Style Kelly bag and a classic court shoe in patent leather from Ninewest.
