TREND OBSESSION: NUDE FROM HEAD TO TOE

(Images from Style.com)

Of course it’s a giant cliché to refer to any fashion trend as ‘the new black’, in fact I promise never to type those words on this blog ever again, but in the case of nude tones this description is particularly apt so please hear me out.

Until now wearing an outfit which consisted of just one colour was a bit of a style faux pas, unless it was black (or you happen to be Fred Butler who can pull it off), but lo and behold – caramel / blush / toffee /whatever appealing name you want to lend to beige, it’s a shade that really does work head to toe. Thus truly making it the new black. Am I right or am I right?

TREND OBSESSION: POPPED COLLARS

Something is happening to coat collars…

At February’s Fashion Weeks I noticed them as a design / styling element more than I ever have in the past. Collars have become the defining feature of a jacket. The pièce de résistance to look out for next time you’re coat shopping.

Three designs to look for?:

1. Elongated elegant lapels

2. Collarless coats and jackets

3. Collars designed to be permanently popped
