How to look good

Posted by Innocent Eyes

Reflecting the new season’s grown up, powerful, sexy mood the catwalks were awash with a new way to look glamorous – in the shape of the super luxe separates. These pieces will add real polish to your wardrobe while working with your existing clothes so select your favorite new separate and let it help you shine

If you only buy one thing this season – make it something tartan.
Designers showed plaids, checks and tartan’s of every kind on the catwalk – drawing inspiration from everyone from the Bay City Roller to our very own Queen. The easiest way to inject tartan in to your wardrobe is with a tartan coat. It will instantly update your look without changing anything else in your wardrobe. Dorothy Perkins’ Tartan coat really makes a statement, as it should - after all this is a bold trend. To balance this DP have cleverly chosen a simple swing shape and shawl collar – to flatter all shapes and sizes, and added a touch of pretty punk with the bow fastening
Channel Michael Kors catwalk look in this pretty winter floral dress by Principles. As Kors showed, winter florals are the sophisticated way to address print this season, if you don’t want try punky plaids. Worn on it’s own the dress makes quite an impact, team it with heels and clutch but keep jewellery to a minimum, letting the print speak for itself. Or layer it up with thick wooly tights, a camel coat or chunky knit cardi and belt, and capture that old world vibe that this vintage rose print conjures up.
Military touches add polish to any look. For this season the military coat made a spectacular comeback on the catwalk proving designers will never tire of it. Investing in a smart military jacket now is no false economy – this look always comes back around. BHS has captured the designer look with this neat jacket. The slight nip at the waist is super slimming and in navy not green –it flatters all skin tones and bust sizes. We say wear it with everything from jeans at the weekend to over a chiffon party dresses –just the way the A-list will this winter

Flash your fashion credentials in tweed this winter – it appeared in all the trends from heritage to power dressing, with a new image – sexy smart and sophisticated. Tweed was certainly more town than country for A/W 2008. Which is why this tweed trouser suit from BHS is a great buy. You want your tweed to be tailored, a belted jacket is a must as it adds femininity to a masculine look, plus the flare leg of these trousers is not only bang on trend but super flattering. Take inspiration from the catwalk and team with shiny croc or patent accessories with gold hardware, and a little strut too
