Monday 17 September 2012

The trouser suit dominated Autumn/Winter 2012 catwalks, taking the prints from the summer collections to a more sophisticated level. Although we're in the middle of London fashion week at the moment, the high street will not yet be influenced by next years Spring/Summer collections. However, the top featured here gives just enough lace and drama to subtly hint at this weeks collection. I have chosen a trouser and shirt combination here but suggest the shirt is worn open to give a relaxed alternative to a blazer. The print hints at baroque but is slightly more up beat; the printed suits seen at Prada and Rag&Bone feature more jeweled colours and tapestry graphics, but I felt this Topshop example is quite refreshing in its take on the trend. I have kept to nude accessories to as not to offset the colours of the print, but both feature gold detailing for more of a classy look - there's something about this outfit that cultivates the Eastern princess image, therefore I feel the bag and shoes work for the composition. Nude brogues would also work as we approach the winter months.
