2011 Winter/Autumn essential trends

Now the idea is that we all prepare ourselves for the season ahead and yes that means,,, START shopping for winter wear, so here are some things to keeps in mind while you’re on this fashion expedition.

Coat is a classic must have though the cut and the silhouette is in constant evolution. In 2011 as per trend masculine cloak, male version overcoat and the military styled jacket will carry you through this winter.



Taking inspiration from the 70s, with the tailored look for ladies we continue on the path of the men-pants, pencil skirts just above the knees or as mini and tight as the office allows, paired with opaque stockings or leggings. My advice keep it high waist and flare just as a way to maintain clean cut lines and the illusion of height and posture.

The winter color palette pretty much never changes… the trusted black and gray are always the order of the season. Other colors that are on a need to have list are navy blue, khakhi and other autumnal ones such as reds, camel, mahogany and copper. I reckon, this gives you an opportunity to be creative and have fun with the colors.

Animal and tribal prints make for an interesting touch of glamour an eccentricity. Overlays and layering are the perfect way to own a look and as for shoes, boots reaching mid-calf are a sure way to seal the look.

We won’t dictate to you what you should wear but we’ll share our ‘know how’ just to help you keep up with the latest stylish trends.
