Equestrian - No
This look (jodphurs, tailored jackets, and slim, sometimes quilted vests, flat boots) has been trotted out for way too many seasons. (Adding a riding crop might make things a bit more interesting.) As an urban girl I cannot imagine looking like I just left the Devon Horse Show and will be mucking out the stalls later. Who walks around like that? Especially if the last horse you saw was a wooden one on the carousel. And just where do you wear this look—shopping? Clubbing? Sunday brunch?
Metallic - Yes
All that glitters! This 1980s trend is back, but be careful. You don’t want to look like you wandered out of a Reynolds Wrap ad. Metallic color was seen on most runways at Paris Fashion Week. Current trends include crinkled Lurex, tote bags in gold leather, shimmery brocade blouses, and metal watchbands. The main metallic color in most fall collections is gold, although there are cool looks in platinum, copper and silver. I love silver and I’m looking forward to rocking my classic charcoal, slate and pearl gray clothing with touches of silver for daytime. Get more information on this re-trend here:
The 50s - Yes
The July Vogue featured a melodramatic fashion tale inspired by late 1950s cinema. It was brilliant, gorgeous and absolutely inspiring. Think Dior’s New Look, or Douglas Sirk’s glossy melodramas such as All That Heaven Allows, Magnificent Obsession, and Written on the Wind. Kitten heels, full sweeping skirts with narrow waistbands, slim but ladylike pants. The epitome of vintage glamour! Ultra feminine looks that flatter a woman’s body. Add red lipstick for instant sophistication. Check out the slide show that accompanied this article and get ready to go for classic chic!
