Glossy Blogger Aimee On Autumn/Winter’s Hottest Looks!
I find summer-wear extremely difficult to sport at the best of times, but when the weather has been as gorgeous as it has in recent weeks and minimal clothing is the only way to keep cool it is even more of a horrendous task (especially as I do not have Miranda Kerr’s legs). I cannot wait for the turn of the season and for longer sleeves, autumn hues and amazing coats/jackets to be available. I thought I would share my anticipation with you and give a nod to the Autumn/Winter looks of 2010.
- The new simple.
Balloon sleeves and busy prints have gone and been replaced with straight structures and plain pallets, pure style can now shine through without any complications.
- Embrace your form.
Tiny waists, full hips and cleavage are now being celebrated. Louis Vuitton is leading the way with corseted dresses (Emma Watson teamed her LV corset with denim cut off’s at Glasto) and full skirts. Cinch those waists and dig out that wonderbra, androgynous has gone and at last we can extenuate our shapes again.
- Colour. Print’s are soooo last season, so vibrancy and expression is being shown through eye popping colours this A/W. Seen in the likes of Jil Sander’s menswear A/W 2010 collection, the clashing of bright pastels, acid tones and sumptuous shades is the must do this A/W. I am in love with Stella McCartney’s orange asymmetric dress equipped with a matching cape and Bottega Venetta’s smouldering tomato red tapered trousers.
- Coats and Capes. This fall it is the camel coat and perfect parka that are in competition on the coat front. Good news as it means that we can recycle last season’s military inspired khaki and can then afford the gorgeous long camel coats that will be on offer very soon. Capes are too very much at the forefront, my favourite being Fendi’s knitted number and YSL’s Perspex beauty (Topshop are currently stocking a similar one.)
- Welcome back fabulous flares. Trouser’s are still very much the statement piece, however printed pantaloon’s have disappeared and been replaced with high-waisted flares that are easy to wear and above all completely flattering. I am itching to wear some camel tone high-waisted flares, wedges and channel my inner Farah Fawcett.
- Grunge Glamour… is very hard to channel in the summer with pastels and floral’s all over the shop. However this A/W the grunge glamour look (i.e. Taylor Momsen) consists of tight lace maxi skirts layered under oversized knitwear. This look is for the long and lean as it is anything but flattering for the curvaceous.
- Outdoors Chic. Anna Hindmarch’s Barbour jacket has been crazy popular recently and this is sure to continue with next season’s country side tones and heritage fabrics. British Tweed and Corduroy will be in full production and gracing the backs of many a fashionista. Whether you plan on actually hiking the moors or just taking a leisurely stroll down your local high street this outdoor chic look is sure to increase your fashion worthy status.
- Accessories this season are Boxy Bag’s; the schoolgirl satchel has gone and it is time to grow up, skinny waist belts; as said before this A/W is about celebrating the female form so skinny belt waist cinchers are a must have. However do not fear, it is not all ‘plain jane’, your fantastical side can be channelled with the studs and spikes that are all over shoes and box clutches this A/W.
