Hey guys, how are all you Londoners enjoying the whole Olympic halla-ball-oo? At least the sun comes out every now and then, right?
ANYWAYS, it's that time of year again, that seasonal, transitional period from Summer into Autumn. Sometimes predicting fashion trends and deciding what to buy during these periods can be tough, SO, let me lighten up your work load and help you out on a few trends, 'cause I'm JUST THAT NICE!
So the tailored look has pretty much been around for a while, stronger in some seasons, but for AW, you're gonna want to look for those sharp clean cuts and tailored silhouettes.
Throughout the seasons, a number of prints and patterns seem to own the spotlight, but for now, we're shining it on dogtooth, paisley and leopard prints, fo' sho'. But don't be afraid to try out other prints; in a lot of cases, it's not necessarily the print you wear, but the wear your carry it.
Peplum has been rocking Summer trends and there's not reason it isn't gonna carry on rocking Autumn. Luckily, this has got to be one of the most flattering trends for ALL body shapes, so I'd definitely try this one out.
Ah panels, subtly sneaking its way in to being one of the hottest trends.There are many ways to pull this look off, even a loose shift dress with some good paneling can really highlight certain body shapes so do your research on this one.
Hopefully you can also see how some of the trends seem to overlap, which isn't always a common thing, but for AW 2012, tackling multiple looks is in!
And just to finish off with some of the other super trends that I haven't talked about... try out embellished tops and dresses, don't underestimate the power of lace, the whole grunge and rock n'roll looks are definitely making a prompt comeback, so think studs and loads of jewelry accessories and pop art tops and jumpers are also making a debut in our fashion world.
ALRIGHTT, that's enough for me, you can go do your own research and crack the rest of the trends!
