Trend of the month:
Army and Navy
What is the look?
Reworking military and naval uniforms has long been a favourite trick of designers, but for autumn 09 they have gone very literal. The result is something to be reckoned with, with elegant naval frock coats, lace-up boots and bold button

Sharp Tailoring
What is the look?
There’s always a place for beautifully tailored shirts, trousers and jackets, and this season it’s centre stage. Take charge in a don’t-mess-with-me suite.

Preppy Chic
What is the look?
Don’t let the schoolgirl theme fool you: whatever your age, you can make this look suitably grown-up. Style it to be sophisticated enough for the office but sexy enough for the post-work drink

All Preppy Chic

Berry Shades
What is the look?
Autumn’s new colour family includes blush pink, warm red and dusky purple. It’s an ultra-feminine look-at-me palette, and designers didn’t shy away from top-to-toe colour.
