Autumn 2010 – the season when ‘classic fashion' will no longer means ‘old fashioned'

In the era of considered spending that we are now living in we are searching for value for money on almost everything we buy, the fashion market is no different. Our new less frivolous technique to fashion shopping has heavily influenced many of this seasons trends that have filtered through from the top fashion houses to the high-street.

An growing desire for a timeless quality in our clothing choices has seen a return of fabrics and styles that were once known as classic' and may even have been thought as frumpy or dowdy to particular age groups (reserved for a particular type of woman that would consider tweed a staple part of their weekend wardrobe) generate a huge impression on the catwalks.

This fall these stereotypes that are connected with classic fashion' are being torn apart, did we consider that we would see celebs and fashion muses embrace full length tweed skirts and cashmere sweaters by incorporating them to their red carpet looks?

If you have considered phrases like cost cutting' when planning your new seasons clothing collection to join those in the know and spend wisely in key pieces that are elegantly cut and will have a timeless quality. Don't head for cheaper fast fashion versions of this trend but turn to the masters and invest in quality pieces that will have longevity. Take ideas from the timeless elegance found in Italian fashion for a truly chic look.

Fall, specially early on in the season can pose many complications when dressing for a special occasion. Dressing for a big event or social gathering and those special evenings out during this season requires the perfect transitional pieces.

A smart jacket or coat is a must have cover up' yet we still want it to look as chic as what we have on underneath!

Thankfully the trends for this fall seem as though they have been designed with this dilemma in mind. The chic grown up tailoring that featured prominently on the catwalks of Milan have made their way on to the high street.

Take your motivation from the great Italian design houses when shopping for occasion wear this autumn;

Embrace the office chic' looks accomplished through the impeccable tailoring of blazers and 1950's inspired shift dresses.

Bring out your inner screen siren with the sophisticated colour of camel, whether it is a classic cashmere coat, luxe knitwear or suiting. Be sure to enhance the look with the addition of gold tones from statement jewellery pieces to luxurious silk tops.

Up the stakes and pick from all over sequins or detailed embellishments, lace, velvet and devore to create the perfect party pieces when letting your hair down is on the cards.

And remember if all else fails there is always the reliability of the timeless little black dress!
