Grey is the high street’s
shade of choice this
season, whether sharp as
steel in silk or soft as dove
in jersey knits. Grey is far
from dull and is equally
stylish for day and
evening. It’s a wonderful
background for mixing with
the other colours in
your palette.
Tip: a great neutral, there
is a flattering colour me
beautiful grey out there
for everyone:
|
|
Light grey for the lights
|
|
|
Charcoal for the deeps
|
|
|
Pewter for the warms
|
|
Charcoal or light grey for
the cools
|
|
Pewter with a bright
(or light) contrasting colour
for the clears
|
|
|
Charcoal for the softs

Add a dash of this traffic stopping
colour to your winter wardrobe.
Many people shy away from red as
they do not like to stand out from the
crowd, but we say embrace it! But if
you’d rather keep your reds under
control, don’t shy away from red
accessories. We promise you’ll have
fun once you dare to wear this
confidence boosting colour.

Tip: when wearing red near your face,
take care over choosing your lipstick.
It should be in the same tone to what
you are wearing, although it can be
slightly lighter or slightly darker.
Tomato, ruby and tamarind lipsticks
are great red lipsticks from colour
me beautiful.

Add lustre to your wardrobe with softly
burnished white, yellow or rose gold.
Metal fabrics can work for day as well
as eveningwear in a range of
gorgeous hues.
The alternative is to keep all the
glitter to shoes and handbags.
|
|
Tip: gold, silver and bronze
look best in shimmering
fabrics, sparkly palettes
and sequins.

Silhouettes have an androgynous feel this autumn. Skirts will be replaced with wider and more slouchy trousers as the trouser suit is back.
Tip: unless you are very tall and slender, baggy trousers
need balancing with a higher heel.

The staple daytime dress this autumn/winter is definitely the sweater
dress. If dresses aren’t your thing, try long cardigans (as an alternative
to a coat) or slouchy and oversized knits with a country craft feel.
Tip: a belt is the best way to give shape to cardigan coats and sweater
style dresses that can often be unflattering when worn on its own.

Checks are definitely this autumn’s most wearable print – choose
anything from houndstooth to tartan. Checked fabrics are the easiest
way to bring both texture and colour to your wardrobe.
Tip: to keep it subtle, try muted tones of cream, chocolate and
cappuccino (if you are of soft colouring); all other colourings can wear
varying shades of grey, blue and green.

Leopard, cheetah and snake prints are the easiest way to
quickly update your wardrobe. Be it on your shoes, scarves
or handbags.
Tip: never go head to toe in animal print - it will look like
you are on your way to a fancy dress party.

Boots have been equestrian inspired this season and are the perfect
match to a daytime sweater dress. If you have shorter legs, opt
instead for popular ankle boots that are short, sharp and chic - they
look great with everything from loose fitting trousers to
voluminous skirts.
Tip: if you want to elongate your legs, be it with ankle or knee high
boot, pair them with tights in the same colour when wearing skirts.
