Amanda Holden’s combination of a chic mini skirt, coordinating blazer, sleek knee high boots and classic sheer black tights made for a winter uniform that screams sophistication.
Amanda was the picture of understated chic, when she stepped out in her latest must-have outfit. Proving that blazers are the ultimate versatile part of a winter capsule wardrobe capsule wardrobe that can be dressed up or down, Amanda managed to look stylish and cosy in hers, with the simple pairing of the grey and black staples.
Caroline Parr, woman&home’s Digital Fashion Editor, loves just how flawlessly Amanda layered the pieces to create a cosy look that didn’t hold back on style.
“Amanda’s outfit proves that a mini skirt and tights is always a good idea. She’s smartened up the look with a matching blazer and a cosy knit underneath, and a long wool coat layered over the top would add extra drama (and warmth!),” Caroline said.
Should Amanda decide to pick a warm winter coat when the weather turns cold enough to go over the top of her outfit, a down or fabric coat would work perfectly. Black would work to match the existing garments, as would branching out to include a pop of colour – blush pink or blue would also look fantastic.
