But if you’ve looked out of the window recently, you’ll know the time has come to face the reality of the situation and take action. Keep one had clutching onto your playsuit and fedora if you must; put off buying your winter coat for a few more weeks if you’d rather, but do embrace the coatigan – the half way house that makes stylish sense for us all…

It’s that inbetweeny time of year once again. Our attention is firmly focused on balmy summer afternoons in the park, long lazy days at the beach and cocktails at sundown; it might just be that this is the one month you forget about shopping entirely. And no, that wouldn’t necessarily be a mistake either – even the most style-savvy boutiques seem a little confused when it comes to the late summer months. We all prepped and put together our holiday wardrobes some time ago, but we’re not really ready to envisage an end to halcyon days in the sun. And so the retail space is mildly confusing and strangely empty; filled with the beginnings of Autumn/Winter collections and a few tired-looking bikinis and maxi-dresses. What’s a shopaholic to do? Luckily there are some on-trend items for the coming months that you won’t have to wait to wear; the ‘investment buys’ for next season, dare we say it….

However they can be a tricky style to master and many shy away from their androgynous look. Avoid pairing with overtly feminine dresses as they will look out of place; instead opt for smart tailoring or well cut separates. Alexa Chung is a brogue Princess; check out how she combines them with virtually any outfit to add an off-the-wall twist. An ideal solution if you’re bored of ballet flats, brogues are a brilliant way to smarten up a casual weekend ensemble too. Kooky accessories will compliment this slightly unusual style of shoe; it takes confidence to pull off a brogue, so hold your head high, pile on interesting jewellery and enjoy sashaying smartly without having to totter in heels. They’re even easier to run in!

1950's silhouettes at Prada and Vuitton

The Autumn/Winter 2010 catwalks were awash with some of the most exciting collections we have seen in recent years; welcome to a new wearable approach to fashion, where ‘ready to wear’ means really just that. We take a look at the breathtaking fabrics, charming accessories and sassy silhouettes that you will be craving when chilly weather arrives

The 1950’s Starlet

Never before have bosoms and buttocks been so celebrated, than with the 50’s inspired silhouettes that sashayed down the autumn/winter catwalks this year. Ample cleavage spilled out of stately corsets, pushed up by nipped in waists, with swirling skirts waltzing beneath shapely hips.

It was Louis Vuitton that stole the show in terms of femininity, as oodles of fabric positively swished around the thighs of the curvier models Marc Jacobs had chosen to hail the return of ‘real’ female figures. Oversized bows gently rested on the girls’ toes, as if they had merely settled there like butterflies. Hair was coiffed into bouncing, gleaming pony tails and handbags also had a 50’s vibe; seeing the comeback of the ‘Speedy’ silhouette – a style favoured by Audrey Hepburn. Even Jacobs’ soundtrack emphasised the ethos we should be adopting this season, ‘God Created Woman’.

Prada followed suit on the feminine vibe, with elegant beehive hairstyles perched upon the girls dressed in full skirted gowns with dainty décolettes. Cut out details beneath the bust added a modern twist on the New Look image, and elbow length gloves added a truly Park Avenue feel.

However the look shouldn’t seem too vintage: contemporary details will make all the difference between being on trend and looking like you should be holding a bottle of Cherry B at a church dance. Experiment with leather accessories such as long gloves, or skinny belts to cinch in your waist, and wear with chunky block heels. Innovative fabrics, such as Jacob’s wool trapped between layers of organza, and Prada’s bust ruffles will make this classic silhouette right on trend for 2010.

Nudes at McCartney and Aquascutum

Sandy Style

Nude, taupe, crème caramel, mushroom, toffee, porcelain, café latte, string. Just don’t call it beige. Chloé chose the colour palette of the season, offering a delicious selection of beige based beauties, with various shades and fabrics combined together to create a subtle contrast between texture and hue. Giles and Phillip Lim continued the trend, combining black and chocolate accessories to break up the block colour, such as the belt of the season, which should be as skinny as your latte.

Aquascutum naturally had the best camel coat of the catwalks, which was floor length and fitted; a simple cut that flattered the female figure whilst creating a modern silhouette thanks to its knotted belt. Combine heavy fabrics such as camel outerwear with lightweight, barely there chiffons to keep the look contemporary and fresh. At Stella McCartney, the nude palette was spiced up with accents of red, a colour combination also seen at Valentino and Givenchy. Gold will also brighten up beige beautifully, or follow Marc Jacob’s lead and choose glimmering sequins to liven up the matte, base shade.

This is It

When it comes to accessories, this season it’s all about the name. Think of the latest It bags as your new best friends. ‘Louise’ and ‘Alexa’ are treasured options from Chloe and Mulberry, while YSL’s ‘Downtown’ is better suited to those of you who carry your entire lives around with you. The Fendi Peekaboo is the perfect solution for office smart chic which still manages to exude elegant nonchalance.

As ever, the Chanel 2.55 is top of the wish list, available this time around in on-trend shades of camel and caramel. The whole ethos of the It bag has matured this season though; there is less glam hardware, and the colour palette has been toned down into a muted melange of natural hues. Size wise, these beauties are more manageable than their predecessors; big enough to be practical, yet far from being oversized fashion fads.

Highland styling at Just Cavalli and D&G

Highland Lass

William Wallace would have felt right at home on this season’s podiums. Despite the fact that the last time a kilt took centre stage in fashion was during the rather dubious Christina Aguilera ‘Dirrrty’ video, the Scottish national dress has been hailed as the most on trend mini this season. Just Cavalli even produced an entirely leather version for the more adventurous of highland gals. Don’t limit yourself to plaid though; this season it’s all about being an all round outdoor girl, even if you’re not. Hiking boots with substantial stilettos were adopted at Burberry Prorsum, while chunky knee high socks were seen across the board.

The khaki parka is a crucial item to the outdoors look, as seen at Marc Jacobs and Topshop Unique, who even had models adopt furry animal ears and mittens like paws to enhance the earthy ambiance. Knitwear is the building block for the outdoor theme; choose oversize knits, especially cable, in neutral tones. Country club chic is a must: dress as if you were living in a ski lodge and you won’t go far wrong. Furs, tweeds, wool and suede are your tools.

Alpine knits, heritage checks and enveloping capes were embraced across the catwalks, with Karl Lagerfeld going as far as importing an 8.5 ft high iceberg to emphasise the cool factor of his fur-filled collection (which didn’t actually use any real animal skins… we knew Karl was a softie at heart). If you don’t fancy going for the full on yeti look à la Chanel, then opt for a shearling lined aviator jacket, which should be the keystone of your wardrobe this season. Burberry offered the most enticing versions, with a thick downy lining encased by mushroom and chocolate leathers, topped off with chunky buckles. It’s time to take a step outside ladies – be who you want to be – fisherwoman, huntress, or pilot. Just make sure it’s adventurous with a capital A.

Curious: McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana

Curiosity Shop

It’s time to adopt a magpie approach to dressing. Seek out the most sumptuous, extravagant fabrics you can find and combine them to create a ‘dressing up box’ effect. Collections were filled with plush velvet and embellished with intricate lace, as seen at Richard Nicoll and Alexander Wang. Brocade featured heavily too, with the late King of decadence, Alexander McQueen offering a plethora of heavy woven and gilt styles in his last ever collection to be shown.

Feathers were a common motif of the designs, and many designers combined other animal inspired prints, such as leopard skin, to create an over the top approach to dressing. Dolce and Gabanna’s collection summed up the look, where their satin slip dresses in bold jewel shades were adorned with gothic onyx lace. The theatricality created by their leopard prints, bold colour palette and dramatic black separates was undeniable; it evoked Italy’s young riche making their way from the opera into the dead of night.

Crushed velvet skirts at Marc Jacobs were equally eye catching, and New York’s golden boy even combined fur and velvet to create a truly indulgent look.

New Minimalism

There has been an underground revolution over the past couple of seasons, whereby ready to wear has come to mean just that. The inspired lady behind this new religion of wearable, yet desirable fashion; is Phoebe Philo. Her collections for Celine have been devoured by fashionable folk, as her purist approach to dressing (involving simple yet sleek separates that create an ageless capsule wardrobe) have seduced those who wish to invest in quality clothing rather than purge on quick fix fashion.

Wear it now: Celine and Stella McCartney

Keep colour palettes simple, opting for monochrome combinations in hard-wearing yet exquisitely well cut fabrics. Philo created coats and capes made from an angelic white shearling, edged in black leather, along with practical tunics with leather pocket details.

There is a certain androgyny involved in this look; no feminine frills and fuss are allowed, but keep the silhouette sexy by maintaining a balance between fitted pieces and the more boxy styles on offer. Stella McCartney offered a similarly practical collection, yet its short, shift dresses were no less lusted over than the frou frou cocktail wear we are used to. With whispy chiffon and clean cut lines, the collection was ideal for women of today, who have actual lives to be getting on with whilst still wanting to look stylish and sexy.

Meet Me Halfway

This season it’s all about the grey area. It’s not too long, it’s not too short… midi mania has hit the catwalks. Make like Goldi Locks and find the hemline that’s ‘just right’, with the same rule applying to heel height. Just below the knee is the perfect length, whether you go for a full skirted option as seen at Louis Vuitton and Dries Van Noten, or a closer fitting pencil skirt as seen at Marc Jacobs. Waist lines should be held high in order to keep the look alluring rather than granny chic.

Brogue and loafer styles with midi heels are the perfect accompaniment to mid way skirts, but keep legs bare (apart from over the knee woollen stockings if you’re chilly) to avoid seeming too laced up. What’s more, ‘kitten’ is no longer a dirty word in fashion, after Mrs P created her delectable kitten heels that had us all clamouring for their minimalist, modern shape yet wearable heel.

Glam grunge at Versace and Balmain

Grunge Glam

Glamour has been revamped. No longer synonymous with sleek, overly polished and manicured style; this autumn glam means grunge with a gothic edge. Ditch doll like cocktail dresses for the leg lengthening cocktail trouser, such as Phillip Lim’s tangerine pair, or embrace molten metallic shades as seen at Balmain. Baroque inspired styles were popular, with pussy bow blouses spilling over tightly fitting trousers and thigh high boots.

Think back to the early days of Studio 54, and indulge in subtle references to glam rock, combining with gothic lace as seen at Christopher Kane and sultry Edwardian inspired pieces. Marc Jacobs redefined evening wear, with his floor length sweeping maxi skirts in shimmering crushed velvet complimented by loose knit jumpers. The combination exuded laid back nonchalance whilst still remaining sexy, which proved that west coast Hollywood glamour is just a little too high maintenance for the modern woman.

If you’re brave enough, try out red velvet (yes, really) or the bold ultramarine fur seen at Versace; just be sure to keep it glam with plenty of leather accessories, sequins or studs.

DSquared² do festival-inspired fashion

Festival season has officially commenced, and while it’s no secret that sleeping in canvas and living on a diet of warm cider and cold beans doesn’t exactly scream glamour, there’s no reason you can’t look significantly better than you feel while searching for your tent at 5am.

Canadian designers DSquared² embraced the idea of ‘glamping’ in their Spring/Summer 2010 show. While some of their ensembles were a little too high fashion to take to the fields (toolbelts, anyone?), the basic ideas were there. Their collection well and truly proved that the days of ‘put together elegance’ have been pushed to the back of some dusty shelf. Making your mark on today’s radar is all about tying together a cacophony of trends from charity shop to couture, while giving a nod to the style staples of past decades. So fortunately, the inevitable adoption of the ‘dishevelled’ look after a weekend of festival carnage will actually earn you a big tick in the fashion stakes.

Essential Festival Fashion

The top priority of your ‘fest-drobe’ is what to wear on your feet. Trust me, you’re going to want to be surgically attached to your wellies. I know they aren’t the footwear with the best reputation, and tend to connote old men in barbour jackets, but the high street is overflowing with vibrant coloured and kidston-eqsue print wellies. The best part? You can pick some up for as little as £15, which won’t drill into your all important cider fund. For some of the drier, more city-based festivals, opt for some espadrilles, the ultimate marriage of practicality and style. And hey, if they’re good enough for Alexa…

From toes to head; your hair is also going to take some forward planning. I’ve read somewhere that beer is good for the barnet, but I think a weekend of having pints thrown over you in moments of crowd hysteria may beg to differ. Therefore, I’d like to take this opportunity to express my utmost gratitude to the inventor of headbands. Available in an infinite range of colours and patterns, they channel a cool boho vibe while simultaneously doing the impossible: taming your fest-hair. Last summer saw an explosion of straw hats on the festival scene, and while I can’t argue that they look fierce, I see them as a little bit pointless. You can confidently assume that they will be stolen off your head by some beady-eyed passer by.

Summer, of course, heralds the return of the ubiquitous floral print, which is a tried and tested key player in festival uniforms. In keeping with the ‘thrown together’ face of today’s fashion, so called ‘student’ floral, you know, the slightly-smudged, asymmetrically printed type, has sprung into the style fore. Playsuits, shorts, dresses; there are so many ways to get your fix.

Before we get too lost in our own festival induced bubble of fantasy, we have to remember one small inevitability. It’s summer. It’s England. It’s going to rain. When it comes to festivals, layering is not just a trend, it is a necessity for survival. A baggy cardigan or cable knit jumper tiered with denim shorts makes for some tried-and-tested effortless chic, as well as keeping you warm. I’d recommend raiding the Menswear section for some oversized apparel. Is it just me, or are guy’s clothes unfathomably warmer than women’s?  I’m sure there is something in the way they’re made. Plus, wearing men’s clothes will channel some authentic ‘boyfriend’ chic.

Ok; hairband? Check. Token floral printed item? Check. Wellies? Check, check, check! You’re still going to need somewhere to put you’re phone and money, not least to begrudgingly spend on overpriced and undercooked food, and deal with the inevitable ‘I’ve lost all my friends in the crows’ crisis. We’ve gone back to school this summer and welcomed the satchel back onto our fashion radars. I’d personally opt for a tan leather style, connoting an air of vintage, but there is a myriad amount of colours and patterns out there. The long straps mean you can just wear them across the body so there is no danger of a thieving punter making off with your worldly possessions.

So go forth, sing, dance and crowd-surf until your body cries for mercy. You’ll be incredibly well dressed while you’re doing it, if I do say so myself. And remember, if all else fails, you can always raid the Oxfam stalls that are omnipresent at today’s festivals. Anyone up for a £1 wedding dress? No?

Showing on the Spring/Summer catwalks in an eye-popping colour palette of optically alluring prints and fabrics, the playsuit is fast becoming a must-have wardrobe winner for glamazons everywhere.

Hailing from the same fashionable family as the catsuit and the jumpsuit, the playsuit has made the occasional outing on the fashion circuit since the 1960s, but has never been such a dominant wardrobe staple as it is today. Available in a selection of styles ranging from utility to festival, with tribal patterns and in muted nudes, team with fancy flats and accessorise to your heart’s content.

A year is a long time in fashion, but the looks we’ve chosen reflect current trends for Spring/Summer 2010: from Zoe’s Saldana take on sensual nude tones to Cecile Cassel’s best-dressed city shorts ensemble.
