Although we are set to be in summer for another month yet, it’s worth looking out for hot buys for Autumn/Winter and what trends will be in that are wearable now and then, many clothes shops have their sales on at the moment and are making room for new pieces which are slowly trickling in so it’s a great time to buy the odd piece so you’re ready!

Crashing on to the catwalks for A/W 2010 was animal print it never really left after the S/S show really with designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Blumarine and Roberto Cavalli featuring lots of print in their collections in light, floaty chiffon materials in dresses or blouses.

Body con is also around but with more of a Sci-Fi edge to it with lots of geometric shapes and clean silhouettes for a futuristic look. Think a funky Lady Ga Ga look but more everyday wearable, great for those who like to show off their curves.

Lace is also back in this A/W but not as gothic as last year, instead delicate nude lace and romantic chiffon against a seductive black background for a nearly new look. The lace will also be incorporating the S/S trend of lingerie look dresses and tops, a great way to move into the colder months.
