Must-Haves for Autumn 2010

Military Style

Greens , browns, and big bold buttons with straight edges are the in thing.  If it looks like you could wear it in the army , it's perfect for this autumn. The fitted, cropped jacket  look in general will work well instead of large billowing coats .

High-Waisted Jeans

The days of low-rise  and hip-hugging jeans  seem to be numbered. High-waisted jeans  and trousers are back! Some designers are making jeans that fall above the belly button (aka "Mom Jeans"), while others are opting for trousers that fall on or just below the belly button.

Fur Coats

Your choice on whether you wear fur or not is completely up to you, but it is making a comeback this autumn season. Mohair  and sheepskin  are the popular choices.

Leather and Lace

Whether separate or a sultry combination of the two, leather and lace  are popular for tops,jackets , even leggings . Wear it in black for a sophisticated look that can work from the office to a night out.

Over the Knee Boots

Boots  have always been a hot choice for every autumn, but this year go for something really sexy with boots that come over the knee . Pair them with a long trench coat  and you'll look great for that date!

Plaid is Here to Stay

Plaid  is always big in the autumn, and this season is no different. Try a plaid dress  or a plaid jacket  on for size.

Sequin/Sparkly Leggings

This season it's all about glam. Leggings with sequins ,sparkles , or in bold metallic  colours will be perfectly paired with that lace top. Feel like a rock star!

Monochrome

Black and white may seem like a boring combination, but this season it's coming back with a vengeance in funky patterns. Stripes ,plaid ,polka dots , or just a white top  and black pants  for the office. Monochrome can be anything but boring!

Red Dress

If there is one thing you should add to your wardrobe this autumn it's a fiery red dress ! This season, it's the new little black dress . Make a stunning entrance and no one will be able to take their eyes off you!

Buckled Shoes

Gladiator sandals  were big for the summer, and now that strappy look is heading over to boots and shoes for autumn. Belted and buckled boots  make a bold statement.

 Hot Accessories

  • Women's beanies are the hot head-wear for autumn/winter. Crochet  designs are cute and snuggly.
  • Faux fur hats  are also a warm pick, with cute and funky designs.
  • Palm warmers, which are a very 80s look, are coming back into style. Think Madonna, but less lace and more knit!
  • Knee high socks  may seem like something from your school girl past but they are making an appearance this year.
  • Elbow length wool gloves  are a way to look elegant without losing warmth at the same time.

Top Autumn 2010 Colours

The colours spotted on the runway this season are unique to fall collections. Usually everything is beige ,black , or brown  for autumn, but not this year. Red was a popular colour especially for dresses  and pumps . Runway models were very glamorous with metallics, especially gold  (and not just for clothing but on eyelids as well).
