Autumn/Winter '07

Ladies, now that we are well and truly into Autumn... all you need to know about what's hot for Winter '07.

Dresses: Think screen siren... sexy silhouette, hourglass shape, cinched waists, sharp shoulders, ladylike hems, glamorous prints, thigh-high to below the knee with the midi having made a comeback, and floor length glamour for sultry evening events.

Coats: Power coats... very chic, just about everything from military to waisted trenches, floor sweeping drama, short waisted curves and loads of fur.

Trousers: Out and out masculine... wide legged, pleat fronted, medium to high waisted, narrow and boyish.

Skirts: From bell, to bubble, to dirndl, to mini, to pencil - keep a balance by tailoring the other half.

Jackets: The Tux rules... as does the waisted, the short, the boxy, the classic.

Casual: Cashmere tracksuits, flying suits, parkas, quilted coats, padded jackets.

Knits: Extravagant and oversized... chunky cables, ruffles, ribs, waffles, cowl necks, wrap cardi-coats, outsized scarves, high-tech finishes, fur trims.

Accessories: Slim or broad belts for a cinched waist, opaque tights, exotic feathers, furs and skins, croc and exotic skin handbags, embellished clutches, beanies and berets, cuffs, zips and buttons on subtle platform boots, sky-high stilettos and sculpted form shoes, elbow high glamorous gloves or short leather.

Colour: Black on black, purple on purple, head-to-toe hues, block colour - match clothes, shoes, bags and hosiery, colour on colour in different textures.

Metalics: Lustrous anthracite and bronze, shimmering elegance, molten folds, sheeny colours, opulent outsized crystals and sequins.

Leather: Its everywhere... from soft, silky dresses to beautifully cut pliable coats and sculpted skirts.
