When the cold weather arrives, the most elegant clothing brands have some advantages because that is the most appropriate time when these brands can show their new and sober proposals.

During the upcoming seasons, we will leave aside the summer heat and light colors. Instead, we will wear darker colors such as black and grey, which will be the most common colors in  pants and blazers.

When talking about British style, the key piece is the coat:

- Long coats with a double set of buttons in gray;

- Knee-length coats in black with a very discreet handkerchief in the external pocket;

- Or a coat that looks like a parka with a sporty style.

Jackets are very varied and the designer  opted for a more flexible and “risky” style in this category. For example, the collection includes some looks with jackets where colors like  pink and maroon prevail, and many men could reject those looks because the proposed colors are not usually for men. Also, these jackets are complemented with a bow tie that is one of the most used accessories in the Hackett collections; of course, bow ties can be replaced by regular ties.

There are also some jackets that are good options for men who like to wear checkered garments or clothes with a tweed style. Those jackets can be worn with classic jeans and some beautiful light-brown shoes made of suede.

On the other hand, the more sporty looks include short windbreakers, clothes with a sort of aviator style, white pullovers, and shades of brown for other garments.

Time for F/W 2009 – 2010 shopping!

As people say, get the things you may need ready in good time, time you checked out the hottest looks for this coming fashion season.

Experts say this coming fall and winter will be all about strong silhouettes and sophisticated glamour. Decadent features are present in many F/W 2009-10 key looks and reflect the current economic situation.

However, 80s disco style and bold looks will anyway find their own place in your wardrobe if you want to follow the fashion tendencies in full. It’s like all about girl power! See what I mean.

Footwear goes surreal this coming season. The more extravagance and crazy you look the better. Opt for dramatic designs and exaggerated heels. Hardware embellishment is really hot, too.  Puss-in-boots style makes its glorious comeback in fall 2009. Long boots win over stilettos.

Moreover, designers let you go further and try thigh-high black suede skinny leg boots, one of the hottest key looks for the winter.  Channel the inner Catwoman, girl!

Padded shoulders made the comeback in Spring/ Summer 2009 and the trend remains strong for fall and winter as well. Get bold exaggerated shoulders to get a genuinely In look for this cold season.

Let some classic beauty in your life. Chain bags that are influenced by the Chanel 2.55 bag are so in vogue for fall and winter 2009 – 2010. Chain strap bags can be worn as lovely clutches and across-body style. Just like with the heels, metal embellishment is really huge for bags, too.

No need to restrain yourself from getting extra large with accessories. Go oversized with chains and studs and jewelry and dramatic silhouettes. Thinking huge chunky rings and cuffs and leather bracelets.

Glitter is still really hot. Shimmering fabrics are so in for f/W 09-10. To somehow balance the look designers suggest combing sparkling with demure cuts.Go back to the retro look with French chic – cinched waists are present in both

casual wear and outerwear. Get ready to see belted coats, skirts and trousers.

Masculine femininity

Female fashion gets mannish. A masculine tailored blazer becomes one of the season’s key pieces. Typical men’s fabrics like tweed enter a woman’s wardrobe in the form of shift dresses and jackets.

Animal prints are still huge. Zebra and leopard prints stand out and dominate the print palette. The characteristic feature of all prints this coming season is that they’re statement – exaggerated and strong.

Capes

Forget about carefully tailored coats. Go free with capes. Designers advise to pair them with elegant shift gowns.

They’ll keep you warm and trendy during cold months. Make sure your knitted clothes are bold, big and shoulder-padded.

Leather gloves

Love this trend. Unlike other seasons, this time gloves can be absolutely different. Play with colors and shapes. Just make sure the gloves are leather, as this material is definitely a lead one this fall and winter.

No I’m not asking you to stop cutting hair and having a shower. Channel your inner wild with the Yeti-look coats also known as Chubby. Shaggy coats in vibrant colors – that must be hot! You’ll look drop dead gorgeous and trendy if

pair them with thigh-high boots and swagger.
