Get the right look with their range of Accessories for Autumn and Winter. Jaeger Accessories provide the finishing touch to any look, combining great style with timeless sophistication
Works for any body shape and body size!
Great choice for most body shapes- just not for inverted triangle body shape
- Silk Crystal Clutch: £125.00
A special occasion clutch that works for all body shapes, just that a pear body shape is better adviced to carry it under their arms rather holding it. It is exactly the opposite for the inverted triangle.
- Bedford Buckle Purse: £99.00
It makes especially a great investment buys for women who have the dominant colour soft, warm and deep.
- Catwalk Ring Belt: £90.00
It is only suitable for women who have a normal to a long waist. A waist belt needs space to sit and fit. Otherwise it will be just moving up and down in the waist area.
Best for women with an average to long neck. No matter if it is thin or medium wide. Just not a good choice for women with a short and/or wide neck. Scarf need space to “breath” otherwise they clutter the little space between face and shoulder.

Zara is finally online and hopefully soon as well available on Joy of Clothes. Beautiful images but lacking of enough product information- but then it is still early days. Zara is “liked” by more than 4.5 million people who have signed up as fans on Facebook. The clothes chain will sell garments at identical prices to stores, charging £3.95 for home delivery. Ordered items can be picked up free of charge at shops.The world’s biggest clothing retailer by sales, has launched Zara online in Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Germany.
Inditex, Zara’s parent company, has overtaken Gap as the world’s biggest clothing retailer by sales. Zara’s online shop will soon be followed by H&M’s online shop, which will go live on 16 September. Gap and Banana Republic are already there, having opened their online operations outside the US for the first time, on 26 August.
The success of retailers such as the dedicated online fashion site Asos hints at how rapid the migration of sales from traditional stores to the internet is, especially among the 18-34 age group.

Another fashion trend that doesn’t go away this season. One can even say its fashion is even bolder than ever before. As much as we fall in love with the look of a leggings we need to stay focused and keep the fact in our mind that leggings fashion is only for the women who can show off their legs. It requires perfectly shaped legs- preferably skinny legs so they can deal and add all the drama to their legs, that will create the extra volume . In order to be able to show off designs and patterns one better have as well a long pair of legs.
A visually balanced body, regardless of weight or height, always looks most flattering. Legs and calves come in different sizes and shapes and each variation requires a different styling and dressing guide.
Dressing your legs and calves requires a strategy, because you need to have an understanding of your build, you need to put the size of your calves in context with your bust, body shape, height and proportion (ie do you have a balanced body? A longer body with shorter legs? A short body with longer legs?). By modifying the lines of your clothing you can create visual balance whether you have small or large calves.
In short here are the rules for leggings fashion:
- In general the stronger the pattern the longer and smaller the leg the better. Click here for more info how to dress your leg line
- The same rule applies for calves Click here for more on calf sizes and how to dress them
- Leggings are better for women who have either a balanced body or a shorter body and longer legs since leggings will shorten visually the legline. The stronger the pattern the better. Therefore women with a longer body and shorter legs should stay clear of this trend. It takes too much tweaking to make it work.
- Any horizontal lines will shorten your leg line and add additional roundness to your legs and calves.
The rest should stay clear and focus on other fashion trends that are more suitable to your build. Opt for hoisery that tunes our leg line down rather than puts it on full display.

This bag trend started with Alexa Chung and it will stay on high trend alert as well for next season for autumn/winter.
Satchel Handbag
- It works for all body shape unless it comes with heavy embellishments , colour blocks or bright look at me colours. In that case the pear shape should avoid these types since it is drawing the attention to the wrong body part.
Satchel Shoulder bag
- Look out for the ones that have an adjustable shoulder strap that you can adjust, so that you it works for your shape.
- Neat Hourglass and Lean Columns can wear them as they like. Full hourglass should wear them not too close to their bust, Apple Shape should even lower the strap even more so it doesn’t add volume to their tummy area. Since most the shape is more squarish the rectangle shape should avoid to wear the satchel in the waist area- either higher or lower are best. The same stands for women with a short waist and for the inverted triangles- but for other reasons.The lower satchel sits the better, because it will balance off their broader shoulders. The higher it sits or the closer it gets to bust or shoulder the more volume it adds to that part.
- Best use is if it has as well a removable shoulder strap, so you put the bag to multi use.

Lace is a fashion trend that doesn’t go away. Sometimes it is limited to certain garments but this season it can be found in any possible garments from dresses, jackets, skirts, tights, corsets, scarves to shoes and so on. So, the good news is that we can choose the amount of lace we like to wear and where we like to wear it. But it is a trend that divides us women.
So, the question is how to wear lace right. This trend can be tricky when not handled with care. Lace can make you look stylish and elegant or if you got it wrong tired and dated. I believe every one should be doing a bit of lace, but with caution that is right for the body shape, occasion and age.
Know how to wear lace right and current:
- One has to rise to its occasion!
Lace is a delicate, stylish, light fabric but also has a very dressy nature and therefore worn best and only for formal & dressy occasions. That means you need to look groomed, together and stylish. It is very unforgiving when wearing it casual and without any grooming whatsoever.
Something you should always avoid is a lace dress or skirt on bare legs- it will hardly ever work. Since it is a very dressy material only young skin and a perfect leg shape will be able to match it. So, for all the rest of us let’s opt for nice tights that will complement the lace outfit without competing with it.
Keep it simple by choosing only one lace item at a time and never combine it with another fashion trend. Keep it in focus!
Very tricky that is! It is a vintage and an elegant fabric, so it looks best in the traditional colours such as black, black & red, black & nude, nude and white. Each of these colour combinations has its tone and should be worn in context. In general white is best to be left for weddings only or white shirts. Nude lace works great for underwear, while black & red will always add sex appeal to your look while simply black will add elegance to your outfit. Lace combined with colours such as pink, blue, yellow etc. will most likely “make it look cheap” unless is you are a teenager who will get away more or less with anything due to their youth.
- Keep it fresh and current!
Combine it with other plain and/or elegant items e.g. white shirt, pencil skirt, over the knee hight boots, studs shoes/belt/bag, jeggins, slim fitted jeans, leather jacket/skirt or dress. Though the 80′s are back, please don’t accessorise it with pearls or with heavy gold metal jewellery. You will only create a dated look.
Here some examples how to wear it:
