On-trend pinstripes and merlot tones - Amanda Holden just showed us how to do both
Amanda went full autumn mode in sleek pinstripes and deep burgundy
Amanda Holden demonstrated the perfect combination of sharp pinstriped tailoring and trending red wine hues as she stepped out in one of our favourite autumn outfits we've seen this year.
The broadcaster arrived at the Heart radio studios on Monday for her usual breakfast show slot, showing us exactly how chilly weather tailoring and colours of the season should be done.
We all know the drill when it comes to autumn fashion colour trends. Rich reds, warming oranges, deep mauves and chocolate browns are in every time the leaves begin to change. And Amanda demonstrated exactly how to style a head-to-toe merlot moment, especially when it comes to a chic trouser suit.
A timeless pinstripe print is one of the easiest ways to inject a feel of elegance into your winter capsule wardrobe - and can be particularly powerful when combined with a sleek pair of trousers and button-up blazer like Amanda's.

Taking to Instagram to share details of her look, Amanda shared that her two-piece is the Lana Pinstripe Woven Sweetheart-Neck Tailored Top and Asteria
Burgundy Pinstripe Wide-Leg Trousers by Club L London. The pairing is near enough sold out, and we're not surprised.
The ultra-feminine neckline of the form-fitting top creates the perfect contrast to the flowing wide-leg trousers, offering a silhouette that flatters and elongates.
If longline and loose isn't your style when it comes to styling a blazer, try a more fitted cropped cut like this River Island one.

Rivkie says, "Wearing two trends of the season: androgynous tailoring and merlot tones. Amanda regularly delivers wearable style inspiration, and this look is now different.
"The pinstripe pattern alongside Amanda's tonally matching shoes elongates the star's frame, drawing the eye up the silhouette, making her look longer and leaner. Pinstripes have made a strong return to both the high street and the runway, and this retro aesthetic is a great choice for those looking to add height with ease," she adds.
Amanda's exact shoes are an affordable Aldo pick - and she kept the look cohesive even when she layered up for the November weather in London, wearing a longline burgundy coat draped over her shoulders, allowing her suit to do most of the talking.
