As I pulled into Piccadilly station this week, rain beat down on the city streets in true Mancunian style. It's officially coat weather, though not a single one I own is waterproof or has a hood. I did receive a number of compliments on my green corduroy coat, mind, so not all is dampened by the weather.
Many shoppers had dressed far more appropriately for the rain, while others panic-bought ponchos and umbrellas to shelter from the drizzle. Sandals are well and truly shoved to the back of the wardrobe now, with boots - particularly Dr Martens - taking wardrobe centre stage this October.
Each week, I stop six stylish shoppers and ask them about their outfits for our Steal Their Style feature. This was the first week since July I wasn't able to stop people on the street due to the weather. Instead, I chatted to people inside Piccadilly Train Station and the Arndale Centre, who too, were trying to avoid the Great British weather.
