Taking inspiration from the catwalks, the high street will leave shoppers feeling spoilt for choice this winter. When it comes to ladies fashion there are some key trends available this season.
Most retailers have taken inspiration from the catwalk and celebrities by offering gorgeous trends in womens dresses. For instance, there is a clear nod towards 1960s shift dresses. True to nature, these Twiggy-esque pieces will have bold and graphic prints that will speak volumes on either a night out or on a shopping trip. The shorter length means they will look amazing worn with opaque tights and boots.
In other areas of ladies fashion dresses, many retailers have been exploring the 1970s look with flowing Boho dresses and sparkly disco inspired pieces. The long maxi dress will still be a key piece in every woman's wardrobe with many retailers offering styles in darker and funkier styles.
With velvet being a key fabric this season, this will be seen across all areas of fashion from dresses to jackets. Although it may seem like a hard trend to pull off, many fashion experts agree that the look can be achieved by wearing one piece on its own. For example a velvet dress will look amazing worn with lace tights, which is also another major theme for this season.
Music, television and fashion are all interlinked so it is little wonder that the full skirts and dresses from TV series Mad Men has influenced a revival in 1950s dresses and skirts. This ultra feminine look will show hour glass figures off to absolute perfection as it nips in and goes out in all the right places. Shorter ladies should be wary of this look however as they may need to have their dresses taken up a few inches to avoid looking too drowned in fabric.
