Now that nights are getting darker earlier, those pretty summer dresses are getting banished to the depths of our wardrobes as we are starting to dig out warmer jackets and knits. If you are ready for a wardrobe update, this season’s trends offer something for everyone.
1. Shearling jackets, boots and accessories
Shearling and leather aviator jackets were a major trend on the catwalk for A/W 2010. They were seen in shows by Burberry Prorsum, Mulberry, Pringle of Scotland, Philip Lim and Julien Macdonald, to name a few.
The high street has been quick to follow with more affordable versions seen in Whistles, Warehouse, Oasis and ASOS.com. The love of shearling isn’t just for jackets – you will also find it on hiking-style boots (THE new fashion staple – wear with pretty dresses and tailored trousers) and shoulder bags.
2. Caped crusader
There is a bit of a debate doing on amongst the fashion crowd – aviator vs cape? Capes were also seen on a lot of catwalks, including Celine, Daks and Amanda Wakeley. The styles tend to be either lady-like or military (a trend that seems set to stay) and they are particularly good for autumn weather. The style of a cape is great for pear shapes and long and lean figures. However, other body shapes should make sure the style doesn’t overwhelm them (particularly if you are short).
5. Animal magic
Leopard print never seems to disappear, and, once again this season doesn’t disappoint. Whether you use it to accessorise a plain outfit (shoes, belts, scarves and bags) or wear a statement item (such as a coat or blouse), it adds an extra something to plain basics. If you veer towards the dramatic, mix and match your prints (if you dare). Leopard print was seen on the catwalks of Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Kenzo, Etro and Moschino.
6. Minimalist glamour
Sometimes simple is best – clean lines and no fuss all add up to a sophisticated look. Stella McCartney is queen of this minimalist look, as is Celine and Richard Nicoll. Let the clothes do the talking but make sure you invest in quality clothes made from good quality fabrics (such as cashmere, silk and matt leather) and stick to a palette of black, navy, camel, grey and white, to get this look right.
7. Mad Men chic
At last, women with curves are celebrated on the catwalk. Low cleavage, full skirts, nipped-in waists and leather opera gloves help create this nostalgic look. Louis Vuitton is one of the designers at the forefront of this trend, closely followed by Loewe, Prada and Dries Van Noten. If you are unsure about circle skirts, add a smart pencil skirt instead.
