Here is your ‘How to Look Good’ high street report for Autumn/Winter 2005. For all our visitors from the US, that means the looks you will find in your Shopping Malls. From vintage styled clothing looks to Russian folk, we want to show you how your favourite stores have interpreted the catwalk fashions – making it simple to sort your style for the coming months. And for those of you looking for vintage styled clothing there is plenty to satisfy.

The styles you are about to see are commercial versions of what models showcased on the runways of Paris, New York, Milan and of course London last February. In fact they are simpler and more accessible designs – possibly more suited to your lifestyle. These vintage styled clothing ideas are more straightforward.

Let us inspire you to put your version of the look together for yourself with the pictures we have chosen in this section. Our helpful descriptions and key garments check list will act as your personal mood board over the coming season, so refer to it from time to time to refresh yourself. Then when you have treated yourself to your own individual body shape book (It’s your personal guide to image available from the home page now) you’ll have yourself a great new style.

Your personal image consultant checklist.
