Stonehaven attracts visitors from all over the world, bringing with them a fresh look at fashion and some new ideas on where to shop. On occasion, the boardwalk can be reminiscent of an international runway, with Italian labels, French flair, American classics and brand new trends from the Far East. Meanwhile locals know how to put an outfit together for a stroll along shoreline of the North Sea.
And if there’s one thing almost everyone knows how to do well in what can be an exposed landscape, it’s to dress for whatever the weather can throw at them. We went style-spotting along Stonehaven boardwalk this autumn/winter season and here are some looks we liked: Amie Paton, 24, from Stonehaven What do you do for a living? I waitress and I’m studying fine art at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. What are you wearing? An ASOS jacket my grandparents gave me.
A scarf I’ve had for years, it’s from Top Shop. And I threw on a pair of leggings and comfy shoes to do some sketching. How would you describe your style? Very varied.
If it’s casual then block colours. If I’m trying then maybe grungy black. Where do you like to shop? Zara and sometimes New Look, I’ll see what they’ve got.
Who is your style icon? No-one specific. My style icon is basically any stranger that I see and like what they are wearing. Wang Youke, 22, China What do you do for a living? I’m studying Interaction Design at Glasgow School of Art.
