Favourite A/W12 trends

Hello and sorry for being away for so long.. But now I am back and ready to review what is happening in the fashion world. To be honest, I am quite happy and excited with the turn the A/W collections took this cold season. There are quite a few new trends as you probably already noticed on the High Street, but I chose my favourite 4 I am most excited about.

OVERSIZE

Those oversized coats are somehow very attractive and can provide a cool edge to casual or office-smart outfit. I have snapped up mine from Topshop a few days ago!

Celine

Team up with skinny jeans, cropped trousers or wear over the shorts and skirts for a maximum effect.

Gothic & Leather

My personal favourite trend this season! I always was a leather jacket girl and now leather featuring all collections I feel like a child in a sand box. There are leather trousers, leather collars, jackets and dresses that are perfect to create a gothic look which was so popular on the catwalks for A/W12. Also, STUDS! My another biggest obsession which started long ago but now it gets released! Think gothic make-up and dark lips for evening look.

Optical Prints

Summer is over but prints are staying in our wardrobes to lift up our spirits during those dark and rainy winter days. Optical prints are seen on new and hot trouser suits (office wear do not have to be boring), dresses, bags and coats. My catwalk favourite is definitely Prada. And for those who cannot afford to break a bank Next offers very close alternative.

With these trends dominating the high street, there is no excuse for dull and dark winter, so style up and enjoy!
