Or why not go for monochrome chic – mixed with a splash of colour – to create one of autumn’s top looks. You could of course step even further back in time as the designers have been drawing their inspiration from the Victorian era. Think high necks, lace and traditional patterns which are all big favourites, with some tweed and plaid thrown in for good measure to add a bit of a country feel. Whatever you prefer we have something to suit everyone at the Bridges and remember we’re open late until 8pm on a Thursday with free parking after 5pm, making it even easier to pick up your autumn essentials. Enjoy taking a look at this season’s trends and if there’s anything you’d like to share with us, feel free to let us know via customerservices@bridgessunderland.co.uk Until next time, The Bridges Magazine Editorial Team

IN TIME It’s not just the clothing lines that have taken their inspiration from history this season – footwear is also following in their steps. Victorian-style court shoes can be found everywhere but if that’s a bit too ladylike then
go to the other extreme and rock it in leather boots. Think Dr Martens or similar – some with high heels for anyone who really wants to make a fashion statement. It’s a kicking look!

Costume jewellery is the perfect way to add just the right amount of bling to your outfit and coloured crystals are great if you’re looking to add a little something extra.
