Bootcuts are having their fashion moment and these velvet darlings are absolutely GORGEOUS. Beautifully '70s, dressy, dramatic and luxurious. High longevity factor. The rise is a good length, and not too high. Red pants are signature to my style, and these earned a place in my wardrobe. They will probably work well on both slightly straighter and slightly curvier bodies.

Best boxy jacket at the sale. Faux leather with teddy bear lining is cosy, fun to wear, and warm. Good length and fab side entry pockets. The fit is STRAIGHT and very fluid, so you have to be okay with that. It does not overwhelm a small frame, and you have to love red to commit to it.

Best dressy coat at the sale. A STUNNING Modern Classic that will work over midis, and just about anything else. High longevity factor. It's heavy, warm, luxurious, and beautifully made. Very tailored so no bulky underlayers. Quite slim through the arms, and quite straight on the hips - but not that straight. It has worked on straighter and curvier body types. Remember that button positions can be adjusted to create a better fit.

Structured Tailored Polished Fabness. Impeccable quality, gorgeous rich colour, and might run a size big. The stretch and good fit makes it mould to a range of body types. Can be worn as an item, or as a suit with matching trousers. I have the blazer and bought bottoms to create a suit.

'90s Gilet Fabness, and very lightweight. Easy to layer over tops and under coats or jackets. Looks great worn open too. Has matching cropped pants. I am thinking about keeping the set. It's not my red, but gorgeous when I wear it with bright pink.
