Leather

Leather is everywhere this Autumn/Winter! If you only buy one thing this season, invest in key piece in this luxurious fabric.  Go classic with a biker jacket, perfect with anything from a cute floral dress to a rock tee with skinnies. Or rock the party in full on leather skirts, trousers and dresses.

Lace

Combine boudoir and vintage looks for a  sexy but sophisticated spin on lace.   This season it’s all about lashings of lace, layered over either black or pink for modest,  feminine look.

Monochrome

For an of-the-moment sihouette, go for a cinched waist and voluminous shapes in monochrome tones.  Black and white has always been a classic statement look, but with so many prints and styles, this trend will never go out of fashion.

Draping

This season the key to draping is keeping it simple,  in neutral or feminine shades with girlie detail.   Go for delicate swathes of fabric to accentuate your silhouette in all the right places for an oh-so-elegant look.
