    Luxury Tattoo Tights Event | Wolford

    Calling all tattoo lovers today to get some inspiration from Wolford that has been well known not only for their quality ready to wear but also for incredible hosiery. Wolford Ink has launched last year and together with major success came more millennial ideas. To celebrate the new AW19 season, Wolford is bringing back tattoo tights adorned with delicate drawings by the five European tattoo artists from Hamburg, Milan, Amsterdam, Paris and London. So, if you think tattoos can only be permanent and resist to get one, Wolford proves otherwise. Their hosiery is one of the finest in the industry, feeling like the seconds skin. Wolford will be hosting an exclusive event on the 17th and 18th of May, from 12 to 6pm, at their Regent Street boutique in Central London bringing Galya Gisca, one of the tattoo artists to customise your hosiery live in-store. 

    There will be a styling event with 2 of the most respected stylists in London:

    On Friday 17th May: Laetitia Tomasso will be present from 12 to 6pm

    On Saturday 18th May: Maya Williams will give you styling tips.

    Don’t forget to save the date and miss this exciting opportunity with Wolford!

    In the meanwhile, The Simone Magazine is here to inspire you with fresh outfit ideas on how to style Wolford ready to wear and hosiery this spring.

    All Red Look: Bored of wearing all black? Be brave and try on all red, it is just as powerful. Alerting colours are on trend at the moment and Wolford just knows how to make a statement with this Fatal Dress in red. The garment is non crease and extremely space saving, thus instantly will create a wow-effect in all its aspects.  Accessories wise – try matching red tones, or simply match your favourite black pieces, it is as easy as it is.

    We have paired the look with the romantic pair of Carin Tights.

    Versatility is another Wolford’s signature quality – you can convert the Fatal Dress into skirt and style it with pink blouse – probably the strongest millennial colour combination. 

    Fatal Drape Dress: Nudes, neutrals, browns and early tones are having their revival year, thus anything you choose in these shades will be on trend, easy to wear and practical. Just like this Wolford midi brown dress proves to be season and occasion friendly. From office to dinner, it will be an outstanding piece matched with a stylish pair of stilettos. Adding a tailored leather blazer will help to create that sophisticated elegance. 

    To complete the look, we have added a fun pair of Anna Tights.

    What to wear this Spring Summer 2019 | Winser London

    [fvplayer src=”https://www.thesimone.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/The-Simone-Magazine-Winser-London-Video-Web.mp4″ splash=”https://www.thesimone.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/The-Simone-Magazine-Winser-London-.jpg” width=”854″ height=”480″]

    New spring season calls for new inspirations and colours into our wardrobe. Winser London’s spring summer 2019 collection is a real celebration of eternal style and elegance. This season, their focus goes on rainbow colours in modern retro silhouettes. It is the collection that can be worn from city to beach holidays that you will find particularly worth investing in. We have prepared a handy what-to-wear-next style guide for your sunny spring days or even your tropical resort holidays!

    Look 1: Satin Polka Dot Wrap Dress

    As retro as it goes, polka dots just like stripes will never go out of style. This season Winser London introduced us with a classic black and white polka dots in an effortless and flowy midi wrap dress. Styling tip? Don’t forget hair accessories! A print matching hair scarf will be seen everywhere very soon!

    Look 2: White Cotton Twill Shorts and Slim Cashmere Top

    The comfort of shorts can never be denied. Especially, a classy white pair. Not only you will find it going with every top you own, but also will serve you on your holiday beach commute. We paired it with a superfine cashmere V neck jumper in yellow to give rest to the sunburnt shoulders from the Maldivian sun. The top is a available in multiple other colours!

    Look 3: Green Polka Dot Satin Top & Midi Skirt

    Green is the new black, or even both colours in one is a very strong and stylish combination. It is no longer retro wearing green, thus Winser London bravely created a spectacular set of green satin top and midi skirt with black polka dots. Worn with sparkly buckle mules it can look great for both weekend in the city or romantic sunset dinner in the Maldives. For muted style addicts, the set is available in plain white or black.

    Look 4: Asymmetric Leopard Print Jersey Skirt

    Animal print obsession is not going anywhere so feel free to grab at least one statement piece. On this occasion, we are going for an Asymmetric Leopard Print Skirt to match with a crop linen white blouse. A stretchy and soft jersey material feels great and comfortable for both day and night looks! Dress it up with some loud accessories and you’ll have a rather glamorous look.

    Look 5: White Silk Blazer and Shorts Set With a Dash of Yellow

    What could be better on a holiday than an all white apparel? For those who are going on holiday
    for honey moon – it’s a win, for those who are not – it’s a style win as well. Winser London has been famous for its finest tailoring in the first place and this season they are taking it to the next level by designing a Silk Blazer Jacket. Luxurious, elegant and effortless blazer, accompanied with a high waisted shorts will work as a powerful statement for many special occassions. We are adding a pop of colour to spicy up the whole look with Winser London Cotton Swing Jumper underneath. Just a casual touch with freedom to choose from some other colours!
