Getting dressed now means you need to think sexy, sophisticated and grown up. Great news for those of us who always felt a little out of sorts in an empire line smock dress and leggings. Comfortable – yes, empowering – never.
All signs of summer’s pretty ruffles and bows are gone, as are smock dresses (at last!). The waist is the new erogenous zone - the focus of every big trend from 40s to fetish.
Banish baby-dolls and get the hang of the new attitude with elegantly tailored skirt suits and lady-like coats, then mix it up with nu-tech fabrics, metallics and bright bold hues that give the season snap. And, there’s nothing cute about autumn’s new accessories, 'moc croc' or hard-framed bags, sky-high heavy platform soles or patent booties with hardware like buckles and chains, studs and clasps. Just remember: gloves and tights with everything!
This look is far from fragile, it’s fierce and feminine and you’re going to need flawless grooming to match. Ditch the straightening irons and get reacquainted with your hair dryer and lacquer – the blow dry is big news.
Lipstick, especially red, returns or simply go for porcelain skin with a flash of vampy liquid liner on the lids.
This autumn / fall fashion message is a powerful one: girlie fashion has grown up and the lady’s got some attitude so dress to the nines and celebrate your curves - the woman is back!
