Evening Trouser
The summer make have had you reaching for the harem pants, but fall will have you reaching for the tailored evening trouser. The bootleg cut was all over the Gucci (Milan) and Phillip Lim (New York) runway, and it’s a welcome return to those who enjoy high-waist, bum minimising trousers. It's perfect for those with long, slender legs, but for others without the lengthy pins, wear those sky-scraping heels for the same effect.
Aviator jacket
It’s always difficult finding a jacket that can be dressed up or dressed down to last you the season, so going with the London trend of Aviator jacket you can’t go wrong. Julien MacDonald, Mulberry and Phillip Lim proved that it’s time to retire the military jacket for the end of 2010 and layer up an aviator look. They also bring together shearling, another top trend for the winter.
Cape
Superhero fears will have to be put to the side because the cape was a feature in so many runway shows it’s hard to keep count. Yves Saint Laurent, Jaeger London, Chloe and Alexander Wang gave us hooded, military, knitted and embellished versions of the most unique trend of the season. It’s comfy, can be dressed up or down, and is perfect for the days you just want to wrap up warm in style.
Chunky Knit
Layering is a key look (how great to keep us cosy and warm) and chunky knitwear is sure to do just that. From oversized jumpers (Michael Kors), sweater dresses (Dolce & Gabbana), coats (Pringle of Scotland) to the simple woolly sock (Prada), it’s all about volume on the runway; probably one the most practical trends this season when the temperature plummets.
Long Skirt
... And when it says ‘long skirt’ it means floor sweeping hemlines reminiscent of the summer’s maxi dress. If you’re long-legged then this is a trend to pull off with ease but for those who aren’t modelling Michael Kors and Dries Van Noten’s designs, killer heels are essential. Calf-length hemlines are also on trend for those who want to take it a bit shorter.
Hold Ups
It takes a confident person to pull off the runway trend of hold ups but if you do you’ll be following top designers; Proenze Schouler and Alexander Wang are just a few of New York’s shows that made the fashion statement. Go for the cosy knitted ones to keep you warm.
Lace
Bringing a naughty edge to their designs, Valentino, Stella McCartney and Pucci bring us underwear as outerwear. It can be worn as dresses, shoes and tops, and adds femininity to what could end up being a heavy, blocked winter wardrobe. It’s already being mimicked on the high street so there's no excuse if you're on a budget not to wear it.
Animal Print
No need to worry that fall/winter designs will have you walking down the street decked out in leopard print, since this is a key trend for accessories more than anything else. Dolce & Gabbana amd Mulberry chose handbags in animal print, while Tao Kurihara goes for cone hats and slipper shoes for the fabric.
Teddy-Bear Fur
There’s no need to have Peta on your back if you want to rock fur this winter, so go for teddy-bear fur; lux, guilt-free faux fur. Bottega Veneta, Chanel and Erdem all used the material to add luxury and a touch of glamour to their collections. It’s the ultimate way to wear fur this season without the huge price tag.
Camel
Chloe was the only designer to have their collection in camel from start to finish, however, Hermes, Phillip Lim and Celine to name but a few also featured the colour. It’s the height of sophistication for what is going to be a season of elegant tailoring and smart designs. If you want to be on trend in fall/winter 2010 the least you can do is have one key camel piece.
