New things to try this season

Now that the autumn and winter trends are fast coming into play, it is now the time to start experimenting with a few new styles.

This could be in the shape of a hot new lip colour such as a plum or red hue, a killer new pair of on-trend fur rimmed boots, wedges instead of skinny stiletto heels, a new pair of coloured denim jeans or anything else that tickles your fashion fancy on the fashion radar.

Jeans have taken centre stage in the past season, with hot orange, pink, washed out blue, red and an assortment of other shades.  Opt to tone down the shades for the winter season and choose a richer colour rather than a neon.

Team with a pair of this seasons must-have on-trend big boots!  Such boots go with just about everything and are both on the runway and now in the high street boutiques!

Such boots are most definitely designed to be seen and should never be hidden, always wear them over skinnies or with cutesy short skirts!

Just make sure you invest in a pair with one definite embellishment.  They should also offer either a wedge or cuban style heel, which makes them the perfect attire for the winter season.  This added extra comes in the shape of fur and can be lining the insides, the edges or come in the shape of tassle extras.

In order to help customers find the perfect fit, Levi’s stores nationwide will be armed with ‘Curve Consultants’ who promise to help you find your ideal style.

In order to celebrate the new line the denim brand hosted a pretty impressive party, which took place at Studio Valbonne in the fashion capital of London. Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof and Florence Welch were just some of the famous and extremely fashionable faces to show up at the bash and each celebrity of course topped the best dressed list.

If you do one thing this season make sure it is to double up your denim.

If you do one thing this season make sure it is to double up your denim.

Fancy yourself as a bit of a jean genius, show your true colours this season in a denim duo and you certainly will be.  The spring shows were a sea of denim for 2010, but models were wearing not one but two pieces of designer denim.  This is certainly a look to keep an eye on as is set to be big for this season.  With fashion followers such as Alexa Chung, Ashley Olsen and Sienna Miller already sporting the look its no surprise.
The runways showcased an array of denim creations; everything from classic pieces such as jackets and jeans to statement items including denim brogues and studded cuffs took to the runway.  For laid back luxe slip an oversized button down denim boyfriend shirt over any outfit, or alternatively to add a little edge to an ensemble, work this season’s denim vest either layered over a long sleeved tee or teamed with a plaid shirt.

Designers at this season’s shows were predominantly channelling the inner 70’s chic, with the main rule of the runway being to mix and match.  The catwalk emulated this rule perfectly by showcasing a mix match of shades thrown together and in turn created a high impact statement look.

A key point to note when working this season’s denim doubling trend is to keep each piece a shade apart otherwise you run the risk of looking like you have just stepped out in an all in one body suit.

The most popular denim styles for spring/summer 2010 appear to be in the shape of skinny, distressed and torn, created in dirty khaki, grey, black and blue tones.
