subject: How To Work Recession Chic [print this page]


We are all trying to be a little more cautious and tighten the purse strings yet still want to look the part and indulge in a little of what we fancy. Fashion and finance are intrinsically linked, so here we show you how you can still look good without breaking the bank.

One great tip is to buy towards the up-coming season, so if its coming to the end of summer look towards winter for your next fashion purchases. You can research the international catwalks trends online, get inspired and make a high street copy of your favourite looks. For AW10 there is a new minimalist trend emerging, which is fantastic as it adheres to a classic, timeless chic that will never tire. Designers such as Stella McCartney, Gucci, Jil Sander and Calvin Klein have stuck to simple, classic silhouettes in palettes of black, navy, graphite and white, showing us that less is infinitely more for autumn.

Reflecting practicality and reality designers often opt for creating black fashion as it's timeless, really regardless of the recession what woman does not want to look elegant? As Amy Winehouse says aptly: it's Back To Black. Also these classic cuts and shades are perennial favourites, despite the season, so you really are invested into wardrobe staples.

Another smart fashion style that always makes a stealth appearance is the luscious pencil skirt. Team yours with a simple cotton shirt and its very Carla Bruni. Its also a very womanly silhouette and will have you feeling very smart and lady-like. White shirting lends a crisp efficiency to a look and you can also button down for a more relaxed, carefree approach.

The demand for bespoke fashion, i.e skirts, dresses and tops increases when times are harder. This makes complete sense as looking like someone who is professional and efficient will hold you in good stead when there is a lot of competition around. Good fit clothing is also the most flattering and will make you walk tall and feel comfortable, perfect for when you're feeling a little stressed and want to exude confidence.
