Autumn 2010 – the season when ‘classic fashion’ no longer means ‘old fashioned’

Date Added : September 19, 2010 | Views : 644

An emerging desire for a timeless quality in our clothing choices has seen a return of fabrics and styles that were once known as ‘classic’ and may even have been regarded as frumpy or dowdy to several age groups (reserved for a selected type of woman that would consider tweed a staple part of their weekend wardrobe) generate a huge influence on the catwalks.



This fall these stereotypes that are connected with ‘classic fashion’ are increasingly being torn apart, did we imagine that we would see superstars and fashion muses embrace full length tweed skirts and cashmere sweaters by incorporating them to their red carpet looks?



You probably have considered phrases like ‘cost cutting’ when planning your new seasons clothing collection to join those in the know and make investments wisely in key pieces that are elegantly cut and will have a timeless quality. Don’t head for cheaper fast fashion versions of this trend but turn to the masters and invest in quality pieces that'll have longevity. Take inspiration from the timeless elegance present in Italian fashion for a truly chic look.



Fall, particularly early on in the season can pose many troubles when dressing for an occasion. Dressing for a big event or get together and those special evenings out during this season requires the perfect transitional pieces.



A smart jacket or coat is a must have ‘cover up’ yet we still want it to look as chic as what we have on underneath!



Luckily the trends for this fall seem as though they have been developed with this dilemma in mind. The chic grown up tailoring that featured prominently on the catwalks of Milan have made their way on to the high street.



Take your motivation from the great Italian design houses when shopping for occasion wear this autumn;



Embrace the ‘office chic’ looks obtained through the impeccable tailoring of blazers and 1950’s inspired shift dresses.



Bring out your inner screen siren with the sophisticated colour of camel, whether it is a classic cashmere coat, luxe knitwear or suiting. Be sure to enhance the look with the addition of gold tones from statement jewellery pieces to luxurious silk tops.



Up the stakes and pick from all over sequins or detailed embellishments, lace, velvet and devore to create the perfect party pieces when letting your hair down is on the cards.



And remember if all else fails there is always the reliability of the timeless little black dress!
