Autumns 2014 Fashions & Trends

Have you had a chance to look at the new fashions coming into the shops? There seems to be something to suit everyone; useful essentials in neutrals (jackets, skirts, trousers), a fabulous array of colours and textures, plus a great variety in accessories.

There are many different patterns: tartans, checks, stripes, polka dots, and florals. If you prefer to wear solids you can keep it interesting by choosing them in different textures or opting for patterned accessories.

The lady-like style continues with lots of focus on skirts; they're longer (hemlines to the knee and below) and fuller. Team with a sweater - style knit and ankle boots to be right on trend.

Tailored masculine-looking suits are popular especially in tweeds and pin-stripes, rounded shoulders and over-sized. Soften the macho feel with gorgeous accessories and fabulous footwear.

Highly practical in chilly climates, winter coats are big - literally! Again, over-sized and with rounded shoulders. Tailored in heavy fabrics and available in various colours but especially popular in pink (dusky pinks are in high demand).
