Autumn/Winter styling.

Lovely top NanKate . Dressy and colourful. Expensive for some folk.

Yes I agree about the price I usually buy from charity shops as we have 5 good ones in our town but I came over all unnecessary and found myself with my credit card in hand and the rest is history annepl ?

Thanks NanKate
Link worked and I love it.
It looks perfect with plain 'bottoms' and that's the trick, as you can pick out any colour from the top and buy plain skirts or trousers.
I might venture into patterns now.
I bet you'll look $1m.

£180? that's not a bargain. ?
I could buy a scarf ? for that and have £40 left for a bottle of cheap fizz?...

???

Another page full of patterned Nieper tops.

It all looks great and is really nice quality so in my eyes it's a bargain.ps £40 isn't cheap fizz .

Talking of fizz can I have a glass please and maybe a few canapés ? ? I feel a party coming on.

They are lovely! The brown velvet top would suit me (I am a fan of Sahara ) clothes. Will start saving up.

I look at the David Nieper site now and again, but find their clothes look desperately age appropriate.

I think it is something to do with the way they are presented. The clothes are displayed in such a conservative way. All the models look so demure with flesh coloured tights and nice safe court shoes which looks odd considering how young the models are. The result is that the clothes look so conservative and safe. Their trousers in particular look very smart, but I do not need any new trousers this winter.

I think they should accessorise, at least some of their clothes in a more edgy style with models clearly wearing thick tights and heavier boots, or chunkier shoes.

They are also not up to the minute with their colours. This year the shops are full of browns and autumn colours, which are colours that best suit me. Click on 'brown' or 'orange' and the clothes that come up, often aren't the colour you asked for or the colour is one slight part of a garment where other colours are dominant. And so many of their clothes are predominantly blue, a colour I really cannot wear.

I have just ordered a lovely burnt orange sweater from Woolovers.

I just looked at David Nieper and yes it is very conservative, the models look way below the target market I think. I guess there’s a demand for this kind of stuff, comfortable, neat, modest.

David Nieper is aiming at the older demographic. Why don't they us obviously elderly grey/white haired models. There are enough of them about and they can be seen in most fashion articles wherever you look.

Given their price range. Their cloths should be displayed on 'Mrs Exeter' style models (she used to feature in Vogue, tall, elegant, slim), but now and again in thick tights or clumpy/shoes boots, would make the same clothes look a lot more stylish and I suspect reflect their quality and justify the high prices.

I like the look of the David Nieper clothes and yes they may be old fashioned, or as I prefer to call them Classic, but with a bit of my unusual jewellery I will be pleased with the end result. One of their tops is zooming it’s way to me now.

NanKate, I wasn't saying the clothes were old-fashioned, I do not think they are, but the presentation on their website does them a diservice. They are all photographed on models, none of which is much over 30 max, with accessories (flesh coloured tights and nice neat black court shoes) that one rarely sees on anyone under 70.

I understand now M0nica thanks for explaining.
