If you still don’t know which key pieces to have in your wardrobe, check out our fashionable basics to update your look. Suit It Up Yves Saint Laurent was the first designer to introduce the tuxedo for women in his fashion show in 1966. This season it is back in vogue; some fashion specialists are calling it the new party dress. Chic and versatile, a jacket and trousers can be worn separately. You can pair this Next jacket with a skirt to give a feminine twist. Baroque Inspiration The 17th and 18th centuries are back with golden brocade detailing, romantic embroidery and bold lace. This complex look, in which more is definitely preferred, is better worn in the evenings. But you can play with this luxurious and gothic theme during the day with these New Look leggings Decorate Yourself Discretion is not the best word to describe this trend. Clothes and accessories are bursting with embellishments. The adornments appear in collars, dresses, shoes’ heels and in bold clutches as this Lanvin yellow precious piece shows. Colour Blocking An easy way to put colours together is to choose pieces based upon a well-tried and tested concept. Two or more colours in dresses, tops, handbags and shoes are a helpful way to run away from the monochrome comfort zone without ending up a strange combination. A dress like this BCBG MaxAzria is all you need to get the look.
