High Street Trends: A/W Edition
there are so many styles to choose from on the high street and unfortunately we don’t have the purse strings to purchase them all. to help you make your decision here’s the low down of the key trends from london fashion week (LFW) for women’s clothing. UK fashion is at its best in the lead up to LFW; not only do we get to view the highly anticipated designs of the top dogs mulberry, westwood and burberry, but it’s also a great chance to discover some of the hottest new talent.
the biggest question is what will be the hottest trends to hit the high street following this prestigious fashion event?
glossy and gothic
gothic is making a revival this season with leather and lace rearing their heads to lead the race. you may be apprehensive of the double leather trouser-and-jacket combo now but come winter you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it years ago. try vamped up lace and embellished accessories for an edgy look and add this season’s cherry-chocolate lip colour to continue the look through to your makeup. add texture to your look with a pair of velvet shoes this season’s must haves that can be worn with every trend.
purple rain
winter colours are all about dark, deep tones and alongside the teals, burgundies and browns are all the shades of purple. the vigorous violets that are set to adorn the high street are sure to give any look a sumptuous side. if you’re brave enough embrace the trend then go head-to-toe in purple perfection but if you’re a little less confident, invest in jewellery and a bag to add colour and update any outfit.
power prints
have prints ever been out of fashion? this season’s prints are bold, bright geometrics and the only way to wear them is clashing! the two-piece suit is a must have addition to any woman’s wardrobe: wear for work with a pair of trusty brogues and a plain shirt or transform for a night out with killer heels and flesh flashing sheer shirt.
the Jobs tribute
okay, so it may not be directly linked to the legendary steve jobs himself but his favourite fashion item the turtle neck is making a big come back this winter. think chunky knits to keep you warm and sleek slender cuts to add an air of sophistication.
