clothes now in (and still coming to) the shops.
Ideally your wardrobe is 70-80% core essentials and 30-20% fashion. Now that's not to say you have to buy everything that's trendy (there'll be lots that won't suit you). But you can have an up-to-date looking wardrobe by having a few items which are current eg shape, colour or style (not all three, it'd be too much). Pick and choose the look that works for you.
There are lots of pastels and neutrals this season; Pastels won't suit everyone but it's a great time to stock up on your Neutrals (white, ivory, cream, beige, brown, grey, black). Autumns will be relieved to see khaki is popular - a great alternative Neutral for you.
The very bright Poppy Red is still popular - ideal for Springs but too bright for Autumns and too warm for Winters.
Lace and ruffles or frills are everywhere; so if your style personality includes the Feminine-Romantic, you'll enjoy this trend.
Also lots of stripes and polka-dots. Broad horizontal stripes are not your friends (unless you're tall and thin) but skinny ones can be RELATIVELY slimming.
Look for clever draping, asymmetrical and/or diagonal stripes to create the illusion of curves and optical illusions. Be careful where you wear stripes; try layering (see illustration) to wear them in the right place for you.
