With the summer now firmly behind us and winter nights drawing in, many of us are delighted to shed those short, flimsy, revealing little numbers and cover up a little more! So, what’s hot this season and how can real women dress to impress with a nod to the trends?
Bejewel!
Jewel colours are king this autumn – from emerald to sapphire, ruby to amethyst, they provide a stunning and flattering alternative to black. They can be used to accessorise the usual autumn colour palette or, for the braver fashionista, wear your favourite jewel tone from head-to-toe – add some sequins and you’ll definitely get noticed this season!
Patterns and Prints
If you enjoy a bit of opulence you’ll love this season’s polka dots, spots, swirls, motifs and florals; from cool seventies chic prints to rich tribal patterns, there’s a pattern or print for every girl to love and no room for the shrinking violet. Team your patterned skirt or dress with clashing patterned tights to really work the trends – it’s time to show you mean business!
Metallics
Perfect for adding the ultimate evening glamour, metallics are big this autumn and winter; choose your palette from bright silvers, golds or platinums to more subtle dirty metallics and shining shades of khaki. If you’re an extrovert, shimmer in a fabulous sequinned shift dress or a glorious pewter maxi-dress or how about an Abba inspired metallic trouser suit or a glittering silver coat? For a more laid back approach, add some pale gold, shiny black or a glossy nude shade to your wardrobe.
1940s Glamour
It’s time to become demure and ladylike, with a nod to 1940s style. Flattering midi length dresses and pencil skirts, pretty tea dresses, long coats, furs, pearls, leather gloves and shrugs – you’re going to look and feel gorgeous! Nip in your waist, exaggerate those shoulders or experiment with a fedora or a pussy bow blouse. Fashion is all about having fun!
