Florence Welch

When discussing her fashion style, Welch said; "For the stage, it's The Lady of Shalott meets Ophelia...mixed with a scary gothic bat lady. But in real life I'm kind of prim"

One thing is for sure; Florence Welch has an impeccable sense of style, with a voice to match!

Noticed for her red curls and daring, but nonchalant dresses, she is a sight to behold on stage.

On the streets she likes to keep some of that nonchalance; she’s not afraid to add colour and patterns and hats are a constant companion of hers; which if you are a red head is a good thing to have to prevent the colour from fading. ;)

Items: Lyocell shirt,  GIRLFRIEND JEAN,  Stone Patch Pocket Coat,  Brixton Messer Wool Hat - Black/Brown,  Shell Pink Chiffon Rose Lace Skinny Scarf,  Daily Amble Flat,  LEATHER DUFFLE STYLE RUCKSACK

Soft fabrics in neutral colours, jeans, a simple scarf… as we said before, nonchalance is the key word! The look is upgraded by a loose, boyfriend style coat, a brick red leather bag and of course THE HAT! 

Items: Karen Millen Oversized Coat in Floral Print,  Day Off to a Great Start Top,  Black Contrast Split Side Chelsea Shoe Boots,  Blue Ripped Knee Straight Leg Jeans,  Catarzi Exclusive To ASOS Floppy Hat,  RELAXED CROSSBODY BAG

Don’t be afraid to experiment with a patterned coat. Simply choose them wisely to match the colour pallete of your wardrobe, if you are a bit shy, or choose a bolder coat if you want your outerwear and accessories to stand out.

Keep the rest simple and you’re good to go!

Oh… and don’t forget… THE HAT!

Items: MAISON SCOTCH, Long sleeve floral black maxi dress,  Won Hundred Imogen Coat in Wool,  TUNIC8 Nine West NAVY,  Reiss Zelda Trilby Hat,  Fiorelli Layla Winged X Body Bag,  ASOS Boyfriend Watch

My favourite look of those three! A bit more formal, yet easy once again, Florence keeps the coat, hat and shoes in the same colour and adds complementary colours and jewels.

That’s a neat trick if you don’t know how to combine a lot of colours; keep one as your base, then add another one in small parts of your outfit to make it more pleasant and add your favourite jewels in moderation.

In conclusion, I think that Florence Welch is one of the most interesting, well dressed musicians out there. She keeps an element of the performance in her real life and that makes it more interesting…

I think we should all dress with a bit of colour and ease, as she does.
