A dominant trend this season shows a natural drift towards investment dressing. For designer clothing, designer have at last accepted that we need support to keep a balance in our wardrobes as well as our budgets! This fits with our ethos at Marabella Boutique and the key to investment dressing is choosing statement pieces cut from beautiful quality fabrics, Sandwich our Danish brand is great for this. Clothes which are wearable time and time again repay their initial outlay. As always black is a dominating colour across all Autumn/Winter collections and celebrity fashion. This season black makes a stark contrast against the stand out colours of the season teal blues, bright pinks and scralet reds. Your fashion wardrobe for 2009/2010 shuld include an investment coat, chunky knits, defined shoulders, longer cardigans. You should also pay attention to prints, cowl necklines and belts – the cinched waist is still a key look for this season. You can also enjoy the fashion statements that velvet, faux fur, sequins, lace and studs make and here you have the basics for an easy winter wardrobe makeover. Sequins and sparkle are a key look this season and brighten up the usual dark colours of black and grey. Lace detail and dresses are also big. You can have some fun with opaque coloured tights or lace tights which remain hot favourites for completing your winter look. You can go as mad as you like and decorate your legs with colour, sparkle, stripes and swirls, the easy way to glam up a simple black dress.
