Yellow Accessories Yellow in all its incarnations has been summer’s big hit in ready-to-wear. So it seems designers decided to keep it around to cheer up autumn in the form of eye-poppingly bright accessories. Keep your look current – steer clear of topto-toe blocking. Instead, inject yellow through bags, pumps and belts.

What's the look?

Reworking military and naval uniforms has long been a favourite trick of designers, but for autumn 09 they have gone very literal. The result is something to be reckoned with, with elegant naval frock coats, lace-up boots and bold button detailing.

6 0844 842 2222

D&G

PAUL SMITH

How to do it

A sharp-as-a-tack coat or jacket is the pivotal item in the army and navy look, worn over skinny jeans and knee boots. Gold-buttoned gloves are a hard-working accessory.

SHARP TAILORING What's the look?

There’s always a place for beautifully tailored shirts, trousers and jackets, and this season it’s centre stage. Take charge in a don’t-mess-with-me suit.

How to do it RAG AND BONE

ANTONIO BERARDI

A quality black jacket and trousers are workplace style essentials – after that it’s about putting your own stamp on the look. Go androgynous with braces or a waistcoat, or put a feminine twist on tailoring in a pleated blouse. Add an ankle boot for a hint of sex appeal.

Shoes £55 945.7976

Socks £9 862.3627

What's the look?

Don’t let the schoolgirl theme fool you: whatever your age, you can make this look suitably grown-up. Style it to be sophisticated enough for the office but sexy enough for a post-work drink.

8 0844 842 2222

KRIZIA

MARNI

How to do it

Layer cute cardigans and soft jumpers over a flirty skirt, and add heeled brogues to complete the look. To understate it wear opaque tights, but if you’re feeling daring, knee socks.

BERRY SHADES What's the look?

Autumn’s new colour family includes blush pink, warm red and dusky purple. It’s an ultra-feminine look-atme palette, and designers didn’t shy away from top-to-toe colour.

How to do it

UNGARO

NICOLE FARHI

The beauty of this trend is the freedom you have to make it your own. Choose shades that flatter your complexion and work for your wardrobe. Go all-out in a violet dress, or enhance a low-key outfit with berry accents: try sumptuous cherry knee boots or pretty purple pumps.

orget burly lumberjacks.

Recently the check has been championed by the painfully cool offspring of rock stars, which has made it an intimidating trend for those of us who have jobs instead of trust funds. But look again: this season the look is all grown-up, and couldn’t be easier to wear.

Be classic but on-trend in a checked shirt with skinny jeans, or pair a suit with tartan court shoes for a work look that’s fashion-forward, not flashy.

MY LIFE MY STYLE Celebrity stylist Sarah Wharton reveals her clever closet secrets y work life varies hugely.

Sometimes I’m with a client knocking out a creative brief, sometimes I’m surrounded by millions of shoes on a shoot, sometimes I’m at home writing. I’ve got pieces that multi-task (a denim mini-dress is a current favourite), and versatile items I’ll never regret splashing out on – like my beige mac. I normally wear flats to run around to meetings but I always keep a good pair of heels in my big day bag (current favourites are patent orange).

I used to dress up more for appointments but the older I get, the more I just want to be me. When I’m shooting overseas in the heat I’ve got a complete wardrobe I keep in a case ready to go: tees, cropped jersey trousers and a couple of cute dresses for evening. Most of my closet has a utilitarian look as I love anything that riffs on a uniform. I’d wear the Brownie frock of my youth if I thought I could get away with it – complete with purse belt.”

SHOP FOR YOUR SHAPE...

Boho-luxe The fashion houses of Burberry, Anna Sui and Etro championed this opulent folkloric look, but designers don’t always think about the translation from catwalk model to real woman.

Layering up can add bulk if it’s not done well. So whether you’ve got curves, no curves at all or a narrow torso with wider hips, we show you how the season’s big trend can look fabulous on you. For more figure flattering styles to suit every shape up to size 34 just log onto to Laredoute.co.uk and check out our Plus Size collection.

your decade 3 women, 3 ages, 1 trend: the La Redoute style challenge Nautical was one of the major stories on the autumn 09 catwalks. Double-breasted silhouettes were streamlined with belted blazers (Hermès) and skinny cigarette pants (Lagerfeld), all set off with button detailing and reams of gold chains. The knack to this trend is knowing how to put your own spin on it.

With the help of our stylist, we asked three women of different ages to prove just how easy it can be to dress for your decade… nautical-style.

EXPERIMENTAL 20’s HATTIE HUMPHREYS, 26, Manchester Three years after university, writer Hattie’s staple wardrobe hadn’t graduated beyond her graduation. “I feel like I haven’t left my student days behind,” she explains. “I’d love to look more grown-up, but I don’t want to be lamb dressed as mutton.” Stylist Debby Barry took the matter in hand, pairing wet-look leggings with a short blazer and studded shoeboots for a sophisticated grunge-luxe twist on the nautical trend. Initially, Hattie had doubts about the leggings: “I liked them on other girls but I wasn’t sure they’d suit me.” It was a bold move, but it worked. “I love them!” says the new body-con convert. “They’re really fun. I’d definitely wear them for a night out.”

“In your twenties, fashion should be about experimenting,” says Debby. “Don’t worry about making mistakes.”

WET-LOOK leggings The leggings and studded shoe-boots add instant rock-chick glamour, keeping the jacket looking young and edgy.

Leggings £17 795.1957 Shoe-boots £39 862.0520

SHRUNKEN BLAZER Attention to detail is the most sophisticated way to channel a trend. The embroidered crest and silver buttons on this jacket give a nod to nautical chic.

Blazer £89 938.7390

STRIPED TOP Nothing says seafaring chic more than a Bretoninspired top. The metallic bag updates this classic.

DEEPA THAkkER, 31, Surrey A diary crammed full of client meetings dictates marketing manager Deepa’s style, and has led her down the safe path of a corporate wardrobe. “I thought this nautical trend might be too casual for me,” she explains. “Dressing in a classic way seems smarter.” Stylist Debby was keen to complement Deepa’s existing wardrobe and show how a single new piece can update a look: “By the time most women hit their thirties, they’re more confident with their individual style. They want to buy investment pieces.” She chose a trophy coat for Deepa. “A statement military coat is bang-on-trend, and this one marries the button detail of Armani with the asymmetric hems of Comme des Garçons.” Deepa’s verdict? “I adore it! It’s on-trend yet smart. The cut, the material – I love it all!”

MILITARY COAT Deepa couldn’t get enough of this statement coat, with its asymmetric detailing, high collar and bold metallic buttons. She’s hit the nail on the head in a professional look that’s fashionable – but definitely not frivolous.

“I n’t think tdhid e trend couldnaval so smart!”look Deepa, 31 Surrey ,

SOPHISTICATED 40’s SAMMIE McCARTHY, 41, London Production controller and yummy-mummy Sammie rarely ventured out of her jeans and trainers, choosing function over fashion. “Lots of women in their forties get into a style rut,” says Debby. “They think that trends are for teenagers, but I wanted to show Sammie that she can introduce quirky items into her wardrobe without looking like a fashion victim.”

Sammie had reservations. “I wasn’t keen on the nautical look,” she explains. “I’d been there and done it 15 years ago and felt it was too young for me.” But the combination of micro-jacket and sheer striped blouse convinced her that interpretation is key to dressing for your decade: “I feel confident and stylish – I’m not ruling anything out now!”

“I love this look.

It makes me feel young and on-trend” Sammie, 41, London

micro-JACKET Sammie loved the contemporary cut and dark colour of her jacket – a low-key base is great for dressing up with statement gold jewellery.

Future

AUTUMN’S USUAL failsafe tone – black, black, black – is getting a run for its money this season. It seems that designers have reacted to the gloomy global markets by injecting a large dollop of hopefulness through their choice of palettes, and the catwalks were a

carnival of colour. “Bright jewel tones are making a comeback with some neon and acid shades thrown into the mix,” explains Ali Hall, editor of shopping magazine Look. She encourages us all to try to look on the bright side of life this season: “Clashing colours have

been a huge hit with designers so test out contrasting shades you’ve never tried before.

Red was a catwalk favourite, with black and red proving to be the statement colour combo. Neutrals such as grey have style longevity and act as a simple blank canvas, so

laredoute.co.uk 27

start with a muted base, then experiment with brighter shades to complement it.”

So you don’t have to go full-on technicolour from head to toe.

If you’re nervous of colour blocking, take style notes from Laura Fantacci, shopping editor at Red magazine: “Grey is the

28 0844 842 2222

new navy and any shade of it, from lighter dusty hues to rich smokey ones, works with just about every colour of the rainbow – try burnt colours like orange, yellow and aubergine.”

This season La Redoute is hot on the heels of the designers with its colourful mix-and-match

These super-soft knit jumper dresses, V-necks and jersey tops will team easily with more muted tones of grey and black, and you don’t need bags of confidence to pull them off. Shrinking violets can get a hit of colour into their winter wardrobe with the collection’s

eye-popping accessories – hats, scarves, court shoes and ballet pumps. Look out for our surefire winner of the collection: the suede slouch bag (see p26).

Every piece in the line comes in every shade, including royal blue, vibrant purple, canary yellow and pillar-box red.

After last winter’s gothic obsession this autumn’s riot of colour is sure to give us all a lift.

Just take heed from the grande dame of fashion herself, Coco Chanel, who said it best when she insisted: “The best colour in the world is the one that looks good on you!”

ASK US ANYTHING Foolproof advice for fret-free fashion

Q

I love the vintage look but I don’t have time to trawl through charity shops – any ideas?

Rachel, Doncaster

A

If the lived-in look is what you’re after, a brand new T-shirt with vintage-style imagery can do the trick just as well. Wear with a shrunken blazer and distressed jeans to channel the rock chick vibe – and a trilby if you’re feeling extra confident.

T-Shirt £9 950.1290

34 0844 842 2222

Q A

Dresses aren’t my thing, but I’ve got a posh charity do next month and I need to look smart. Any other options?

Louise, Newcastle A little tuxedo jacket is the perfect compromise.

Be fashion-forward by adding harem pants to your tux-with-a-twist – and always the highest heels possible.

Q A

How do I begin to bring colour into my mainly monochrome wardrobe?

Selina, Manchester First of all, congrats on a brave step. Head-to-toe block colour will make you look taller and slimmer – but if that’s a bit too bold, colour-pop accessories are a super-chic alternative.

Q A

My work involves a lot of social events, so I need practical but stylish footwear – any ideas?

Claire, Cheltenham Mid-heeled knee-high boots are your answer.

With a sensible height comfy enough for boardroom and bar, they’re fabulous with a below-the-knee skirt.

Q

I dread autumn, when it’s too hot for my winter coat but too cold for just a cardie. I don’t want to buy a lightweight coat I can only wear for a month or so... Help!

Sarah, Aberdeen Worry not. The catwalks were invaded by chunky knits: invest in a knitted poncho you can wear right through to early spring. It’s a luxurious way to stave off the autumn chill. Choose a neutral shade for a laidback luxe look, and make sure the rest of your silhouette is streamlined.

Time to learn from your elders: the vintage print is back

T

his season, prints have gone back in time. Forget the eighties – we’re talking sixties and beyond, with feminine patterns that are all about intricate detail. Take paisley, for example. Colourful, teardrop swirls make up a print last seen on your grandmother, but it’s a sumptuous luxe look and it’s suddenly very now.

Snap up a floral tea-dress or a pricey-looking stole (only £25, but we won’t tell): this is one classic it’s time to revive.

my life my style

InStyle editor Eilidh MacAskill talks fashion-week pressure and her favourite trends for autumn

“I

eilidh adopts the trends that work for her existing wardrobe

20 0844 842 2222

edit a fashion and beauty magazine and I’m in and out of meetings all day. I have to ensure that my outfits are smart enough to carry me through, so I plan my look the night before, or if I’m going to the catwalk shows, a week ahead. There is always some pressure when packing for fashion week. I choose certain trends that work for me and my body type, and merge them into my existing wardrobe. I have to look put-together for work but I can sometimes wear jeans – always teamed with a sharp jacket or top. Off-duty I wear skinny black jeans and flats. I love the new minimalism, statement shoulders, shaggy gilets, metallics, sharply cut body-con shifts and masculine dressing. My advice for this season is to buy pieces that work with your existing style and wardrobe but maybe treat yourself to one fabulous impulse piece – at whatever price level you are comfortable with. We all need to smile, and fashion is a wonderful way to do it.”

3 women, 3 shapes, 1 trend: the La Redoute style challenge From Paris to Milan, the autumn 09 shows treated fashionistas to a spot of colour therapy. The runways were awash with brights, from top-to-toe neon at Dior to a collection reminiscent of a Dulux colour chart courtesy of Henry Holland. But bold hues court attention, so how do you disguise your hang-ups without hiding your assets? With the help of our stylist, we challenged three women with very different shapes to channel this season’s obsession with brights.

Classic Pear Adeline Bonnet, 37, Buckinghamshire Shape-savvy Adeline knows what does and doesn’t suit her. “I’m what you call a pear shape – thin waist and bigger hips – so I don’t wear things that fit close to the body.” A laid-back dress-code at her office has resulted in a closetful of jeans and T-shirts.

Stylist Debby Barry added a playful twist to this base with clashing scarves and quirky shoes, and recommended straight jeans as an alternative to the classic bootcut. “Just as slimming, but the shape is more modern,” she explains.

The scarves proved a big hit with Adeline: “I love the idea of having the two together – and with a neutral base, I can add any colours I want!”

curvy apple Mei Mei Cooper, 39, London With a penchant for all things red, no one could describe freelance web producer Mei Mei as colour-shy, and she was excited about trying a new hue.

To take advantage of her height, Debby dressed her in floor-length wide-legged trousers and a V-neck sweater to compliment her curves. The result was a slimming look that drew the eye down the body, and the change was remarkable. “Pairing the plain black trousers with the violet sweater really brought her alive,” says Debby. Mei Mei was impressed too: “I love the beads!

I tend to underdress for evening but this is definitely something I could wear to the office and then out to dinner with the girls.”

24 0844 842 2222

Petite Hourglass Amanda Slater, 27, Essex Marketing planner Amanda had a self-imposed ban on clingy clothes: “I’m curvy so when I’m shopping I steer clear of lowcut or figure-hugging outfits.” Debby recognised this as a common mistake. “Hourglass women often buy clothes in a size bigger than they are,” she explains. “These ladies should showcase their best asset – a tiny waist.”

A red sweater dress provided a great base to which Debby added a black belt. “Colourblocking is a great way to make brights work for your shape, and strategically placed black panels will work wonders.”

Ask us anything Foolproof advice for fret-free fashion

Q A

I love leopard print, but with two teenage daughters, am I too over-the-hill to wear it?

Niamh, Co. Durham Absolutely not. Animal print is a perennial trend that can cheer up even the drabbest of wardrobes. Worn in accent form over a clean black base, it’s a super-chic nod to tribal without teetering into mutton-as-lamb territory. Show your daughters how it’s done.

essentials Q A

I’ve noticed a lot of sheer clothes on the catwalks but I’m not sure how to incorporate this into my wardrobe – any tips?

Avril, Nottingham Well-spotted: the sheer look was huge in the autumn collections.

Worn with a plain camisole, a barely-there black blouse is great for the office. For evening, try it over a seamless bra for a sexy finish.

Q A

As a size 14 curvy girl, I’m conscious that darker colours are more flattering, but I’m bored with living in black!

Rachel, Herts Black is a fashion failsafe but any block colour can be slimming. Try a taupe or biscuit dress to create the illusion of a taller, thinner you.

Dress £39 798.3441

Blouse £35 931.6930

Q

I need a new pair of shoes to see me through the winter but I want to get my money’s worth – so nothing too frivolous please!

Kirsty, Ayrshire No funds does not equal no fun. Statement shoes got a rapturous reception at fashion week so these indigo ruffle mary-janes are a wardrobe staple. Wear them with a mini-dress and opaques or peeping out from under a pair of high-waisted Hepburn-esque trousers.

A

Q

I’m on the lookout for a short pyjama set for my hols but they all look like they belong on a 12-year-old. Anything for grown-ups out there?!

Rose, Brighton Don’t worry, cute needn’t mean kiddy.

A fabulous shortie set in alluring black is feminine without being girly.

sharp lines and lashings of black were key on the catwalks

Catwalk photography Chris Moore

The nu-goth trend of autumn ’08 has grown up this year.

Givenchy, Moschino and Lanvin put a super-feminine spin on proceedings, replacing leggings and biker jackets with nippedin waists and dinner jackets.

Suede, leather and satin all play their part in keeping this look luxe but clever tailoring and flattering necklines are key.

The detail is all in the extras – colour pop bangles or lashings of studs will add chutzpah to an otherwise simple block base of black. The must-have accessory? A vertiginous heel as high as you can muster.

dress to impress La Redoute challenges three women to break out of their workwear style rut

Faced with finding workwear that’s both professional and fashionable, many of us choose to play it safe with the same old look year after year. With the help of stylist Debby Barry, La Redoute challenged three hardworking women to step out of their comfort zones in brand new office-ready looks. Here are the results...

fierce to feminine

Charlotte Eldridge, 31, Surrey Quays When it came to dressing for her job, social work recruiter Charlotte never cut corners. “My company operates a smart-casual policy, but I always dress on the smarter side.” But corporate two pieces can run the risk of looking severe, stylist Debby warns: “Women shouldn’t be afraid to have fun with their look in the workplace.” She illustrated her point by dressing Charlotte in a sharply tailored pencil skirt and offsetting this with a super-feminine ruffle blouse in a muted tone.

“Grey is a great foil for black and can take any accent colour,” Debby explains. Charlotte was a fan. “Everyone commented on how tiny my waist looked! I loved the boutique feel of the outfit – it was really glamorous.”

PENCIL SKIRT The eternally stylish and flattering pencil skirt is a workwear essential.

girly to edgy

Gemma Rainer, 28, Hertfordshire Gemma’s job as a PA demands a practical but immaculate look: “I’m constantly running around,” she explains. “I’m the first port of call for clients so it’s imperative that I look presentable.”

Stylist Debby was keen to update Gemma’s look with an androgynous twist, teaming highwaisted trousers with a crisp blue and white pinstripe shirt.

“I wanted to show Gemma she can put her own spin on a trend.” It was a revelation. “I didn’t think trousers could be so dressed-up,” says Gemma, “and I still feel comfortable enough to run all my errands.”

Waistcoat A super-smart fitted waistcoat will nip you in at the waist and balance out wide-legged trousers.

Sensible TO GLAM

Monica Riley, 37, SURREY Senior account director Monica was a self-confessed sober dresser stuck in a uniform of trouser suits that felt too stuffy for after-hours.

“My diary is packed with meet-and-greets and I never have time to change after work before I’m off out again,” she confesses.

Debby chose a black belted dress and killer heels to spice up Monica’s work look. The verdict? “I love the dress, and the shoes are so fun!” says Monica. “With a cardigan over the top this would work for the office, and it would be so easy to convert for evening.”

my life my style

Now magazine style editor Alison Tay reveals her work-hard, play-hard recipe for looking good

“M

Alison shows off her fashion failsafe: the little fuschia dress

34 0844 842 2222

y work life is hectic. I could be interviewing Piers Morgan, styling Dizzee Rascal, talking on the evening news and partying with Kate Moss, so I need my wardrobe to work hard.

I’m the mistress of converting an outfit from day to play by switching accessories and glamming up my hair. Tearing around in heels would reduce me to tears, so I wear statement flats: studded ankle boots or over-the-knee numbers to add a rock edge.

When you have fun with fashion you can let go of the pressure to be on-trend. A Little Fuchsia Dress – LFD – is my fashion failsafe.

I have six, ranging from Vivienne Westwood to French Connection. My tip this season is the blazer. It instantly changes the mood of your look and smartens you up. A statement bag will also sharpen up a casual look. I’m into maximalism for AW09, so I’ll be channelling Dynasty-inspired strong shoulders with a smattering of sequins.

Watch out Krystle Carrington!”

Ask us anything Foolproof advice for fret-free fashion

Q

I’m desperate to get my hands on a slouchy boyfriend blazer but all the ones I’ve seen have fussy shoulder padding, which isn’t my style. Any ideas?

Stick to your guns in this dove grey tailored number.

It’s perfect paired with tapered trousers or as a smart evening accompaniment to your little black dress.

A wear-with-anything dress in a neutral hue will be your sartorial saviour over the coming months.

Slip on over opaque tights and slouchy boots for dress-down Friday or mix and match with a shrunken blazer and wedges to impress at a client meeting.

I’m looking for a statement coverup to wear with my collection of LBDs – something that looks expensive without actually breaking the bank please.

Lucy, Newcastle A silk-cashmere mix cardigan will make you look like you’ve spent big bucks. This sophisticated Parisian-style one has an ivory trim, which will lift your outfit without straying too far from your signature style.

A Q

I try to be eco-conscious, as I hate the idea of wearing synthetic fibres.

Any suggestions for a stylish environmentally friendly wardrobe?

Sandeep, Edinburgh We love this loose-fitting T-shirt with drawstring hem. Made with soft organic cotton, it’s a wardrobe must-have for anyone with an eco-conscience. And for downtime relaxation, try a super-comfy kimono fashioned from the same fabric.

LACE-UP BOOTS What's the look?

A far cry from the early-Nineties Doc Marten era, lace-ups have grown up, and designers are only too happy to marry style with practicality this autumn.

Lace-ups and drainpipe skinnies are a match made in heaven, but if floaty femininity is your thing, team your pair with ripped opaques to give that vintage tea dress a bit more of a modern edge.

Forties This season, designers have revived the spirit of the Forties by rediscovering body-con skirt suits and romantic tea dresses.

From Dior to Lanvin and Moschino, the emphasis was on the decade’s figure-hugging silhouette. And let’s not forget accessories. Valentino and Loewe took their lead from girls of times-gone-by who knew the importance of good shoes – not to mention matching gloves and a substantial handbag.

The beauty of this trend? It celebrates the female form and works as well for those with curves as those without.

22 0844 842 2222

sumptuous layering

Kathryn price, 31, london Savvy shopper Kathryn isn’t afraid to embrace catwalk fashions, but cherry-picks her favourites to work into her existing wardrobe. “Every season I buy three or four amazing pieces, but I wear them with something I’ve had for ages,” she explains. Stylist Lizanne took advantage of Kathryn’s slender figure, and with Missoni in mind, evoked the layering trend with reams of contrasting luxe knits. “Kathryn’s colouring suits these gorgeous shades of gold and grey,” she says. “She looked fab in the polo neck, the knitted dress and the amazing cardigan with a scarf attached, which we all fell in love with!”

The catwalk is the perfect platform for designers to parade their latest and greatest collections. For the shopper flicking through mags at home though, it can all look a little intimidating. When it comes to channelling the designer looks, most of us are not tall as a tower with a 36 inch inside leg, so how can we make the runway work for us? Stylist Lizanne Davies showed three of our readers how easy it is to recreate the hottest looks this autumn.

“It made me feel really cosy and ready for autumn” Kathryn, 31, London

SOFT KNITS Layering adds bulk so be selective with your clothing. Fine cobweb pieces and gauzy knits are perfect for this trend.

TEXTURAL MIX Trial and error is key to this look – don’t be afraid to experiment with shapes and textures.

“I’m loving the sequins!”

Stacey, 22, Bradford

retro GLITZ

STACEY WHITING, 22, BRADFORD Taking her cue from Costume National and Derek Lam, Lizanne thought Stacey the perfect model for a nod to the power-dressing era of the Eighties, and paired a showstopper of a skirt with a basic tee. “We made it more casual by rolling the sleeves up so that it could really work for day or night. A denim jacket thrown on would toughen it up, while a smart black tuxedo jacket or boyfriend blazer would take it to evening.”

UPDATE THE LOOK With a retro trend like this it’s a fine line between fashion and fancy dress.

Add modern accessories like shoe-boots and a wide belt to keep your look fresh.

fierce tailoring

Michelle adams, 30, leicester Travel agent Michelle rarely has time to enjoy her fashion: “I do look at current trends but I wear a uniform six days a week!”

Lizanne looked to Aquilano e Rimondi’s modern incarnations of YSL’s classic tuxedo for Michelle: “Her hair made the perfect canvas for a dark suit and red lips. Michelle is a mum and is always on the go. With a slinky camisole underneath this she would feel really special for an evening out – and look absolutely gorgeous.”

TUX WITH A TWIST For evening add a silk camisole under the jacket – or go bare if you dare!

For day wear the trousers with a white T-shirt and Converse trainers or ballet pumps.

Finishing touch “The jacket was my favourite – I could even wear it with jeans” Michelle, 30, Leicester

A pair of leather gloves and some sky-scraping concealed platforms give this look a tough but feminine edge.

The Work-Do Wonder

When it comes to seeing colleagues outside of office hours, it’s nice to turn some heads – but misjudge it and you could end up a little red-faced. Tow the office line by opting for a smart look that flashes just enough flesh to be fun. A tuxedo jacket over a silky camisole with peep-toe shoe-boots is sexy but so elegant.

The Christmas Day Star

It comes but once a year, so make it extra-special. Cosy fabrics and sophisticated colours are key – layer a luxurious wool and cashmere-mix coat over a sweater dress. Add must-have ankle boots and a beanie for a winter stroll you’ll be proud to put in your photo album.

Fashion writer and former model Davina Catt on how to combine trends with your signature look

“A

Davina’s oversized tote is her favourite arm candy

30 0844 842 2222

s a freelance journalist I work from home, so my look is very relaxed, but if I’ve got a meeting I’ll step it up and add good accessories.

They make such a difference! My off-duty look is definitely more fashion-forward, with statement pieces for the evening. I love my leather jacket and my big Anya Hindmarch tote – it dresses up the most casual look.

I also have some great skinny Balenciaga trousers that work for all occasions.

For autumn I’ll be channelling leather, power shoulders, sequins and studded accessories. They’re strong trends, so it’s important to keep the look simple. Leather is sexy but must be kept minimal, and the same goes for monochrome, sequins and studs. If in doubt start with an accessory.

My signature look is tailored and chic, and to some extent I like to look ‘de jour’, but I adapt trends to suit me. In my opinion, body shape is the most important thing to work with, and I know what works for mine.”

Ask us anything Foolproof advice for fret-free fashion

Q A

I’m five foot two, size eight and desperate to find a coat that doesn’t drown me. Which styles should I steer clear of?

Jo, London Anything that ventures below knee-length will do you no favours at all.

A thigh-grazing princess coat in pillarbox red will keep your petite proportions in check.

Choose block colour over pattern to elongate a shorter torso and if anyone can carry off double-breasted, it’s you.

Coat £69 835.7854

36 0844 842 2222

essentiels Q

My faithful hold-all has died a death and I want to replace it before I go to my parents’ for the holidays. I’m on a budget, so if it could double as a bag for work, that would justify a little splurge!

Jenni, Newcastle What about this rather fabulous leather tote?

Roomy enough to house your capsule closet, its smart exterior means it’s super-versatile and offers more mileage for your money.

A Q

Bag £95 catwalks, but that unforgiving fabric is hard to wear. Tame your 967.1714 unruly curves with an all-in-one bodyshaper. Invisible under even the tightest frock, it’s the perfect party companion.

Q

I want a new evening bag but they’re all Blouse £35 either enormous 782.1409 or clutches, which I find awkward to carry. Is there a happy medium?

Amina, Leeds With party season on its way, bags are big business. This multi-way clutch will jazz up the plainest of outfits, but the addition of an ontrend chain strap will leave your arms free to take full advantage of the dance floor.

A

I’m self-conscious about my upper arms, but I’m bored of wearing frumpy cardigans and big wraps. How can I cover up but still feel glam?

Body £23 Jude, Essex 785.5346 You don’t have to flash the flesh to look fabulous. Fluted sleeves in a sheer fabric will sex up a simple blouse and leave you inhibition-free to enjoy the party.

Match with tuxedo trousers for a super-sleek evening outfit.

Q

I’ve just found my dream dress for New Year’s Eve, but it’s figure-hugging satin and I’m terrified I’ll have to spend Christmas on a diet. Help!

How to do it

SLEEK LEATHER What's the look?

Fashion upped its vamp voltage this season with designers including Loewe and Alberta Ferretti celebrating leather. Belted trenches and pencil skirts made the trend less hell’s angel, more film noir femme fatale.

Hermes mixed up textures for a truly luxurious look

Catwalk photography CHRIS MOORE

Talk about a terrifying trend for those of us who like to disguise our lumps and bumps: at first glance, the shimmering silks and satins that were everywhere on this season’s catwalks seemed pretty unforgiving. But there’s a secret to surviving this aesthetic minefield. Hermes showed us how it’s done by playing with textures and mixing fluid satins with chunky knits. Use highlights of shine to showcase your assets, but offset with soft layers elsewhere. The result? A luxe, sophisticated look that makes ultra-glam fabrics gorgeous on you, whatever your body type.

Sick of buying so-now clothes that quickly become so-yesterday? Stress no more. La Redoute shows three readers the winter trends that will blossom in spring

20 0844 842 2222

THe new prim

Adeline Guillot, 27, London Trend sceptic Adeline usually shuns designer fashion for fuss-free jeans and T-shirts.

“Catwalk clothes seem so different that I can’t see how I would wear them day-to-day,” she explains. Stylist Lizanne took her cues from designer label Krizia’s contemporary spin on put-together primness. No-nonsense derby lace-ups offset a super-feminine blouse, while the thigh-grazing hemline of this mushroom skirt gave the look a sexy-secretary twist. It’s a silhouette that Lizanne says we haven’t seen the last of: “These skirts will be everywhere in spring – designers like Luella actually added padding to theirs.” Adeline’s verdict? “It’s a very different look for me, but I felt really comfortable.”

Catwalk photography CHRIS MOORE

krizia

Even fashion’s most dedicated slaves struggle to keep up with her fickle nature, and the lightning-fast turnover of trends can make life costly when you discover your recent purchase is suddenly past its wear-by date. Stylist Lizanne Harris gave three La Redoute readers the heads-up on which of this season’s hottest runway looks will work just as hard come next spring.

“I feel fabulous in this belt” Beverley, 45, Birmingham

modern MIlitary Beverley Hindley, 45, Birmingham Lizanne used failsafe military details to take Beverley’s look into this season and beyond. The cargo trousers provided a slim base to layer with ankle boots and socks and the look was completed with a super-sized belt, in homage to Paul Smith’s autumn 09 urban army girl.

The good news? According to Lizanne, Burberry is channelling military for next summer. And Beverley just loved the results.

“I’m definitely buying more belts!”

BOHO PRINTS

Jo Buchmuller, 41, Bristol Lizanne took inspiration from Jo’s signature bohemian look, dressing her in a Seventies-style print for a twist on the trend championed by Anna Sui and Etro. “We’ve gone for two dresses layered, with a hint of print showing.” The addition of opaque tights made Jo’s outfit winter-friendly, though Lizanne reveals that print is oh-so-versatile and offers an easy way of staying ahead of the fashion pack: “These are dresses that could work for spring and summer. There will be a lot of print around, so it’s a good investment buy.”

RE-WORK FAVOURITES There’s no need to reject that autumn dress once December rolls around.

Get creative: with clever accessorising and layering, a simple frock can be reinvented for each season.

Fashion week chic in ripped jeans and a sharp blazer

28 0844 842 2222

etting up in the morning is not my strong point, so I have a strict uniform to avoid looking messy! One minute I’m at London Fashion Week, then at my desk, then off to a party, so outfits must be flexible. My look consists of skinny jeans, leggings or opaque tights with bodycon jersey dresses or T-shirts (I’m a T-shirt hoarder – I own almost 50). I add boots, long chains and a blazer. I carry a smaller clutch inside my day bag so last minute dinner dates are covered, and the bigger one stays in the office. I’d like to be more of a girly girl but when I do try to glitz up, I end up changing before the day is out.

Give me a classic LBD over fuchsia taffeta any day! My fashion rule? Don’t binge on of-the-moment trends. A nod to new looks is enough and prevents you ending up with regret buys. This winter try a pair of suede over-the-knee boots, and if you want to score early catwalk points for spring 2010, go for anything with a graphic print.”

“A pair of great fitting jeans will never go out of fashion,” says Lizanne Harris, fashion director of new magazine Stylist. Good news but what should we buying now to last us into next spring?

“Skinny jeans are here to stay and work with heels, long T-shirts and tuxedo jackets. But also look out for Seventies-inspired flared styles as there is a slight Seventies feel to the spring 10 catwalks,” advises Lizanne.

Huge price drop on trousers!

There are currently three key trouser shapes. Mannish pants, pegs and 7/8 crops. Work out which works for you and invest for spring.

D&G’s ankle grazing pegs are skinny yet tapered.

Clever!

Moschino opts for a chic hybrid of the peg and the crop

The right footwear is the perfect finish.

Get it wrong and an ill-chosen shoe will throw your look off-kilter. That means you need to build yourself a reliable, multi-functional shoe wardrobe. Sound expensive? For good timeless failsafes, opt for shoeboots, old-school block heels or showcase knee-highs.
