Will you be wearing your clothes with style this season?
Andrew Davis, Celebrity Stylist and Braun Ambassador, is a well-known face in the fashion industry, with over 10 years’ experience covering fashion journalism, brand consultancy and styling for international fashion campaigns, catwalks and an ever growing list of celebrity clients.
Having styled the likes of Daniel Craig and Sienna Miller and today working with trend setters Tinie Tempah and Amir Khan; Andrew shares his top four looks for A/W’12 so we can all rock the latest trends, teamed with great looking facial hair – this season’s must-have accessory.
ENGLISH HERITAGE
This very English A/W’12 trend is all about embracing the great outdoors whilst bringing an old school gentleman look to everyday fashion.
The important thing here is the choice of jacket; tweed will work well with this style but you can also try a suede jacket with contrasting corduroy collar.
Underneath the jacket, things should be kept chic and simple. Try a classic white shirt paired with a skinny woven tie, an Oxford shoe in brown or tan, then complete with a wool flat cap.
Top tip: Make sure you keep the back and sides of the hair classically short and your beard suitably masculine, using the Braun cruZer6 beard&head.
GOLD RUSH
This retro A/W’12 trend harks back to when a hard day’s work was panning for gold.
With an outdoor feel, this look is easily mastered with some fitted underwear pieces and long sleeved tops. Teamed with heavy denim and canvas cargo pants, you’ve achieved the essential base for this trend. For those with a smaller frame who don’t feel as comfortable in heavier materials, equally this look will work with needle cord pants or cashmere track trousers.
The top half concentrates on patch work or checked shirts to give the American outback trend a wearable edge, especially when completed with heavy laced boots.
Finish with warm outwear, think sheepskin lined coats or puffed and quilted gillets to protect you from that nippy winter weather.
Top tip: To finalise the look, make sure you go for robust but defined facial hair. Clipping it with the Braun cruZer6 face will give you a strong masculine look.
MOON RAKER
This fashion forward trend dominated the A/W’12 catwalks and will give you a modern and sleek edge this winter.
It’s all about high performance fabrics, combining reflective qualities and glow in the dark detail on winter coats and jackets. Pair it with slim cut trousers in dark colours to give you a slick clean line. Bring this trend to life by combining metallic outwear with a sportswear style to give everyday clothing a more futuristic feel, teamed with low rise trainers.
Top tip: Complete the look with gelled back hair and fine-tuned facial hair, making sure you keep any moustaches neat and tidy using the Braun cruZer6 precision trimmer.
WINTER SUN
Although sun in the UK during the winter months is pretty limited, you always need to be prepared for any sunshine escapes so this hot and fresh trend is the perfect inspiration.
Start with fitted short shorts to give a fun 70's retro vibe to your look or just cut off a pair of old faded jeans to create the perfect beach cover up. Swim shorts are also another great option and best bought in vibrant shades.
If accessorising, minimal jewellery is best. Try a small friendship bracelet or dual woven rope bracelets and always complete this look with a sandal rather than a flip flop, to give you a more finished look.
Top tip: Keep chest hair at bay with the Braun curZer6 body – you don’t want too much body hair on show when your shirt comes off! The cruZer6 body can switch easily from a trimmer to a shaver to give you your desired poolside look.
