A lot of people have been pining for their winter wardrobes on my twitter feed recently. I know British summers usually consists of a week or two of sun then it dips back into the overcast skies usually associated with autumn. If you look in the shops now you’ll start to see the new pieces coming in for the up coming season. If there are any big trends then nows the time to know about them so you can start preparing your winter wardrobe. As I’ve done for the past couple of seasons I’m going to run through some of the major trends so you can use them as a reference before you hit the high street.
Androgyny
Girl meets boy… this season it’s all about raiding your boyfriends wardrobe. Even Chanel were at it, if there was ever a time to flirt with that masculine silhouette, it’s now.
Dolce
101 dalmations
Channel your inner Cruela as black spots on white fur will be all over the high street this season. If you don’t fancy the full look opt for spotty accessory a la Burberry
Topshop Unique
Fetish
Could be seen at Giles, Marc Jacobs, Victor & Rolf among others. It’s time to break out the leather and sky high heels…
Giles
Metallics
Shimmering metallics and glittering sparkles are another key look for this season whether it be a delicate sparkle on your shoes to full on metallic display.
Stella
Optic Prints
Definitely not for the shy, super clashing prints that combine 3 or 4 different patterns were lead by the likes of Jonathan Saunders and Mary Katranzou.
Jonathan Saunders
Super Sequins
Sequins are always huge for the party season and seem to be a winter staple.
Prada
Dots
Sexy and sophisticated were the use of dots at Stella McCartney but they could also be seen everywhere from Marc Jacobs.

That brings the first part to a close check back next week for some to see what else is hot for a/w 2011
OMIGOSH! LOOOOVE all your picks for fall! Fashion like this makes the transition from the summer sun I adore to the chillier weather bearable.
Yeah I always look forward to the new season to see what looks are coming out.
I love the dots and metallics—– plus this year I vow to mix prints… vow, I tell you!
Yeah! You go girl! There is a mix everything together trend… you’ll see it in my next part of the trend guide.
The optic prints have to be my favorite. I can never get enough of Jonathan Saudners or Mary Katranzou!
I love Mary Katranzou’s prints they’re always amazing!
I love your choices here. The fetish and dots are my real favorites followed closely by androgeny. Looking forward to Fall Fashion!!
I’m interested to see how the high street will interpret the fetish trend, if at all…
I always like a little bit of androgynous elements in a wardrobe + the heels and a hat are so nice.
Thanks for commenting
I loved so much at the catwalk shows I simply couldn’t wait for the colder months…but I have a long time to go while I melt here in Malaga hehehehe. Today got my first autumn-y purchase in the form of birthday present to myself, a pair of very masculine B&W brogues, so the Dolce look you feature here is really calling to me… but so is everything else too
the sequins, the colours, the heels …
Aw yeah I bet you do have to wait a lot longer than the rest of us before you can break out your AW wardrobe.
Ooh I love the super sequins and the dots!
Thanks for commenting Kim, the dots are my favourite too.
A man after my own heart! I’ve been pouring over my September Vogue taking it all in. The metallics trend reminds me of an old favorite pair of gunmetal silver boots and purse I had years back. And menswear… also so hot on ladies when worn well.
