If you’re as sad as I am that summer is finally over, cheer yourself up with some retail therapy and take inspiration from the autumn/ winter 2012 style guide by my-wardrobe. There are certain things that make me smile about the cold drawing in though, cuddles with the other half, hot chocolate with marshmallows and winter clothing! Using my-wardrobes style guide, I’ve taken my favourite three of their key trends and picked one key investment buy to help you stay ahead…
Opulence
This trend is all about super-luxe detailing and fabrics with rich, sumptuous colours like deep plums, bold gold and glamorous black layering with baroque brocades, jewel-encrusted velvet and lavish silk.
We love: J BRAND DENIM BLACK BROCADE MARIA HIGH RISE SKINNY JEANS, £310.00 to embrance the trend without being overtly lavish.
Futuristic
This gets fun as pop-art and retro prints, bold graphics and metallic far-out fabrics are worn together for a somewhat intergalactic fusion of cool.
We love: 3.1 PHILLIP LIM SILVER METALLIC POINTED COLLAR, £140.00 for a slice of spacey coveted cool.
Faith Connexion Crackle Skinny Jeans £200.00 slips in nicely into the Futuristic trend but can double up in Shimmer & Shine
Leather
Every fashion-savvy woman needs a leather item in her wardrobe this season. Don’t be shy, it can be worn by all ages, shapes and styles since there is so much to choose from. Whether you choose a biker jacket, trousers, skirt or simple accessory, leather is a trend that’s full of the right kind of attitude!
We love: the hybrid SOPHIE HULME LEATHER SLEEVE WOOL TRENCH COAT, £597.00 for a simple nod to the trend and the J BRAND DENIM NOIR MID RISE SKINNY LEATHER JEANS, £875.00 for a full-on embrace.
