Let’s talk coats! They’re the linchpin of you

Let’s talk coats!
They’re the linchpin of your winter wardrobe.

What to look for ?
* A coat that’s long. Mid shin. Longer. Knee length? That length is so out it’s about to come back in. (And I’m not joking !)
* Oversized. Go up a size. I always do. An inexpensive coat always looks alot chicer & more expensive if it’s a generous cut.
* It can be single breasted or double breasted: just make sure it up covers ‘the situation’. Meaning ? Make sure it sits across your front even when it’s UNDONE. Because that is how you’re going to wear it (who wears a coat done up except in London mid winter ?)
* Look for a coat in a versatile FiFi approved colour. You know what that means : Camel, navy, grey, brown, white , khaki , furry, suede or even leather.
* Walk past black. It’s not going to give you vava voom, bang for your buck.
* why ? Black can be so hard to style, have to try really hard with a black coat, it has to be VERY exaggerated to look cool.
* Everybody keep calm! If you DO have a long black winter coat (and I have a few!) then keep wearing them. Just don’t buy a new one.
* Surround a black coat with tan, white and camel. Fabulous boots. Cream knits. Light wash denim. Instant chic. Default to white under there.
* Remember big shoulders are happening. This is so great in a coat. Makes a statement. Looks edgy. Gives shape and drama. A more tailored coat is looking new but it’s still got to be BIG and LONG. And a cape is ALWAYS fabulous.

Swipez vous for all the ways I’ve been wearing my favorite coats this season . Some are a few seasons old but I’ll add links in stories to the coats that are available and similar over on #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia #fifireport #coatseason

It’s finally chilly !  And I’ve found the be

It’s finally chilly !  And I’ve found the best puffer jacket @lululemonausnz :
it’s called the wunder puff and you can see why !

* The colour is so chic: not too bright white and not too beige. )called “downtown tan” )(also blue and black)✔️

* It’s 600-fill-power down jacket : perfect for freezing country Victoria and New Zealand and Sydney right now 🥶✔️

* a cinchable waist & hem means you can customize the shape : No cold drafts. Also means a more flattering shape when you need it to be. ✔️

* A removable hood & a funnel neck collar : so chic this season ✔️

* An improved oversized , more modern cut , great for layering too✔️

* Machine washable : amen ✔️

Styling tips: * Wear this puffer with your favourite easy five low rise pants ( the best cut) ( also in “downtown tan”) @lululemonausnz and also of course with your favorite jeans or leggings ✔️

* these pants also look great with a funnel neck jacket ✔️
 * Swap out your loafers and sneakers for pointy heels if you want to joosh up the look.✔️
 * Add a choc brown suede bag and cool sunglasses and you’re winter weekend ready ✔️

I’m wearing : size large in the puffer jacket Size 30 in the Pants

Head to @ltk.australia for all these look but I’ll add links in stories & don’t forget to head to fifi.com.au for all my picks @lululemonausnz #fiififavfinds #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi #lululemonanz

Chocolate brown pants. Something you might not th

Chocolate brown pants.
Something you might not think you need.
But then you realize how versatile they are !
Because this season it’s all about interesting colour combinations and chocolate brown is your starting Point.

Chocolate brown pants obviously works back with lots of tones of camels and browns, but you know that right ?!

What’s new is to think about mixing a grey knit or a burgundy blouse back with slouchy brown pants. Totally transeasonal In summer I loved a white top with the same slouchy brown pants.

A little bit chicer than jeans and a little more exciting than classic black pants you’ll find chocolate brown pants are instant wardrobe updaters !

I nabbed these last year @theiconicau but there are so many great brown slouchy pants around ! I’ll add links in stories and as always check out #shopwithfifi @ltk.australia for all my picks & the links to #fififavfinds

The best layering piece ? This fabulous camel cash

The best layering piece ?
This fabulous camel cashmere knit @netaporter
It’s the elevated basic that will effortlessly slide under every single thing in your wardrobe. Swipez vous 👉

From a leather bomber with grey culottes to a crop trench & leather pants or a super duper long coat and grey jeans this gorgeous camel knit was the missing link in my life !

So soft it’s in a neater, shorter cut so it just works layered under all my outerwear ( not too bulky!) and sits perfectly on the waist with my jeans & pants. No need to worry about tucking in really as it’s just right in the length department!

Of course it’s totally chic on its own too - without a coat or jacket - because the shape is so well cut it just skims & doesn’t cling : yes please !

I’m wearing a large in the knit .

Styling tips ;
It’s all about mixing grey & chocolate brown ( if you didn’t notice !) with a dollop of camel . ✔️
Add white shoes to lighten the look ✔️
Think three colours on the body ✔️
Mix up the tones of the same colour ✔️
Don’t be scared of mixing oversized coats with baggy pants
just add a neat knit under there to keep it from an OD of too much slouch ✔️

Steal my style and shop all these pieces (if not similar!) @netaporter via @ltk.australia ; it’s so easy to shop directly from the app. #shopwithfifi #netaporter #fififavfinds #ad

Don’t you love it when you throw new pieces with

Don’t you love it when you throw new pieces with old and everything just seem to work ?! It’s so good !

This is my new fabulous suede tote bag thx @strandbags with the choc brown cords I just nabbed @davidjonesstore .

Styled those with an old (still available!) slouchy neutral sweater from @netaporter and one of my favorite coats from few a years ago @shopthecurated .

The way to pull it all together?
White pointy slingbacks @netaporter. They lighten up all the tones of browns and add a little fashion edge.

My point ?
It’s about building a versatile wardrobe ; taking time to think before you buy, being a conscious consumer. I am lucky enough to be gifted so many clothes but that doesn’t mean that I choose pieces willy nilly without any thought :
No, No and No !

I take time to think about what I need, what works, what are the gaps, the missing pieces I know I’ll wear. A lot.

Because let’s remember the aim in life ;
To have a versatile modern wardrobe that has great cost per wear , a wardrobe that makes you feel chic and confident.
Which means you can get dressed with your eyes closed. In five minutes flat ! Every day. Yes, please!

I’ll post links in stories and similar pieces to shop over on @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi #fififavfinds #fifireport #shopyourwardrobe

How to be chic on winter weekends or when you’re

How to be chic on winter weekends or when you’re living your best every day life? Jackets. Jackets and more Jackets ! It’s the secret to effortless dressing.
They make or break an outfit.
Instantly joosh up everything in your wardrobe. (Want to keep wearing everything from last year? Invest in white loafers)(more on that later!)
 Outerwear is where you need to spend your money. I’m talking Bomber jackets, Barn jackets, blouson jackets and everything in between.
What’s not to love : these jackets are cool ! They will give you structure.
Make a statement. Add a fashion edge.
They might even keep you warm. Ha!

Here are all my favorite jackets I’ll be wearing again this season. Hope it gives you some ideas !

It’s getting a little chilly ! Time to pull out

It’s getting a little chilly !
Time to pull out your sweaters - finally- and try new ways of styling them.

Remember the FiFi philosophy: update the classics.
Stick to classics colours but new modern shapes :
You want a sweater that’s slouchy with room to move.
You want camel pants that are wide leg, and jeans that are baggy.

Then look at new ways of styling : a knit layered over a lace cami - you get the contrast of a pretty top with a wintery knit .

The lace adds texture, breaks up the brown tones and is a little unexpected, something soft with the denim.
Add heels , grab a clutch and when it gets colder throw on a long brown on your shoulders . Easy !

Chocolate brown. Mocha. Espresso. Cocoa.  Whatev

Chocolate brown. Mocha. Espresso. Cocoa.  Whatever you call it’s THE big colour for winter. Again. It’s the third winter I’ve devoted a whole post to just to brown, and why not ?
I always love it and my wardrobe is bursting with it.
And so are all the stores ! There is so much of it around even I am struggling with the choice : I know you need me to sort through to find the best pieces …

How to wear chocolate brown? Obviously chocolate works head to toe ! Most importantly it’s a match made in heaven with all tones of neutrals, camel and caramel. You can try it with blue jeans, with grey jeans and white jeans. You can build around your brown pieces and then add a few other colours like navy, black, grey & denim.
Go crazy with colours like orange & blue ( oh that’s enough colours haha..). Hint: Don’t fuss about what colours go with what , it’s the new modern shapes that count. 
Remember I am not saying buy everything here.
Take your pick: It might be a fabulous bag and that’s all. Maybe some loafers. Could be a major coat or a leather skirt. Just add in one or two pieces in choc brown and watch as they work wonders and instantly joosh all your current pieces needing a little help in your wardrobe !

I’m having a little love-in with designer belts

I’m having a little love-in with designer belts !

It’s one of those accessories that adds personality and instantly elevates everything you own.
Because a little bit of luxury goes a long way right ?

As US Vogue writes “Jewelry, bags and shoes get all the love, but a statement belt can really make a look. Think of them like jewelry for your clothes—they’re worth investing in.”
No wonder belts were all over the spring 2026 runways at Ralph Lauren, Celine, Khaite, and Chloé.

My advice ; go for a tan, beige or choc brown belt.
It’s a clever way to add another colour to your outfits .
If you have alot browns & neutrals ( me ! )a tan belt slips effortlessly into your everyday wardrobe.

Swipez vous to see how I’ve tossed either YSL or Valentino belt with everything from jeans, to leather , big coats and with shorts 👉👉👆

That’s the thing with belts they not discerning : They don’t care whether it’s summer or winter, hot or cold , casual, weekend or evening 😜

Which is why it’s an accessory worth spending money on. Because a belt is 24/7 and 12 months a year investment and you can’t argue with that right? #costperwear

My pick this season is this YSL belt @netaporter
Although big buckle belts (Celine !) are a big trend ATM I love the subtlety of a smaller belt.

Jeans & a tee. Always chic, Nothing simpler ! The

Jeans & a tee.
Always chic, Nothing simpler !
The trick ?
Update ! Update ! Update !

These two wardrobe essentials need to be updated into new modern shapes - because (as I’m always repeating!) classics date, you can’t wear them forever . Jeans , tee shirts, trenchcoats, black pants, knits and blazers all have a use by date !

One day the pieces you’ve always worn suddenly feel a bit daggy, a bit wrong, a bit blah right ?
You don’t feel good.
You can’t put your finger on it.
After all, these are classics and you’re supposed to be able to wear them forever.
Then you try to fix the situation with too many silly accessories, god forbid with bright colours. Wrong !

The solution: update all your favorite classics into new modern exciting shapes.

Jeans right now , so cool in a barrel shape, in dark denim .
A T-shirt that’s slouchy, an interesting texture.

Best thing is when you update to new modern shapes everything looks great , no jooshing needed. You just put them on, instant chic , out the door. Done !

Wearing size 30 in the Rollas jeans and large in the Tee. Swipe for other ways I’ve worn the jeans.
I’ll post links in stories , as always you can find everything linked over @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi #fififavfinds
