All about fashion trends for this Autumn! We have barely made it to August and already our winter wardrobes are centre stage. It may be worth thinking about- by the looks of it, our ‘summer’ is going to be very short-lived this year. Have no fear however, as the fashion industry has come to the rescue with a myriad of exciting, surprisingly colourful and almost summery warmer outfits this autumn. And whatever you do, don’t worry about your absent tan as pale skin is everywhere this season.
Summer is finally upon us (discounting the rain and the floods as well as the gail-force winds). So what better time to summarise this season's trends? You may not actually get to wear your summer clothing out this year but in this country if we always dressed according to the weather then my staple items -and yours- would be thermals and a mac and let's face it, that's never been a good look. So whatever your preferred length of skirt/short/trouser and jacket, there truly is something for everyone this year.
