Tips:

• The structure of every good outfit is enhanced with the right fitting underwear.
• Accessories will dress up any outfit. Remember to finish off every outfit with the right accessories.
• A single breasted jacket and long trousers will instantly slim the body and give you more height.
• If you have a curvier lower body, go for boot cut trousers to balance with your upper body.
• To create longer, leaner legs add a pair of high heels to your outfit.
• If you have got great legs don’t be afraid to show them off in a skirt. If your lower body is curvier ‘A' line skirts are much more flattering than pencil skirts.
• If your too afraid to wear a lot of colour try to introduce it slowly with use of accessories ie, scarves, bags, jewellery, shoes etc..
• To avoid displaying unwanted bulges, looser fabrics are a better option than fitted.
• Avoid high and polo necks if you are busty. Stick to scoop and v-necks.
• Always have regular beauty treatments ie, facials, manicures, pedicures etc.. as these are key factors in personal grooming.
• Drink a lot of water and a healthy lifestyle will keep the radiance and glow in your skin.
• Be sure to look at yourself in a full length mirror before you go out, remember styling is all about receiving a balanced silhouette.
• When you try an outfit and it shouts back at you "buy me" that's means you look good and feel confidant, if in two minds-leave it!
• Invest in a great fitting pair of jeans, as you can always dress them up or down.
• Shirt cuffs should show an inch under a blazer sleeve, and long trousers should be worn just above ground level.
  
• Dress to impress yourself first and others later.

Forties Glamour
The Forties trend is a fully-dressed affair - fur, shrugs, pearls, gloves and a slim belt are all required extras Frida Giannini, at Gucci, distilled all the glamour of the decade into her show with fedoras and pussy bow blouses thrown into the mix Jonathan Saunders steered away from a predictable interpretation through the use of unexpected colour combinations Donna Karan wrapped and twisted fabrics to create a silhouette that was simultaneously sexy and smart
	Donna Karan Collection		Gucci

Tunics and Trousers
Tunics worn with trousers is autumn/winter 2011-12's new easy uniform Simple, pared-down pieces in wool and jersey work best by day, while slinky silks with metallic accents are night's answer to the trend Wear one colour head-to-toe - a la Michael Kors and Alberta Ferretti - or mix neutrals with black or white for a sophisticated, modern look
	Giorigio Armani		Michael Kors

Fetish
Leather, rubber or PVC should be oil-slick shiny and only ever in black Seduce in siggestive sheer panels and peek-a-boo necklines and lots of black lace but leave the corsetry and bondage paraphernalia at home Sheer black or lace stockings lend an extra appeal to the look - wear with high-shine patent leather stilettos
	Mark Fast		Ralph Lauren Collection

One of the Boys
Dressed-up menswear is a neat alternative for the evening - add a touch of glamour with silk ties, cummerbunds, and tuxedos A pair of sparkly trousers, teamed with a plunging shirt and heels - as seen at Michael Kors - is the perfect formula for subverted andro-glamour The trend showed its more sensuous side at Dolce and Gabbana and Moschino, where monochrome was broken up with flourishes of ornate sequins and gilded embroidery
	Dolce and Gabbana		Blamain

Print and Pattern
Nudes at Givency, appliqued flowers at Viktor & Rolf, cat at Ungaro and dogs at Tophop - pair colourful motifs with a monochrome palette for maximum impact Spots are the easiest way to break into the trend - Stella's and Marc Jacobs' were the prettiest Richly-coloured winter gardens look super feminine Feeling brave? Wear your decorative prints with clashing floral tights and fierce shoe-boots
	Stella McCartney		Giles

Jewel Tones
Jewel colours have taken over from the brights of last season, adding a rich sumptuous to autumn/winter 2011-12's palette. Wear for day or night as a new alternative to black For maximum impact, wear head-to-toe and, for extra wow-factor, choose sequins for a show-stopping look. Dolce & Gabbana's emerald dress could stop traffic If full-on-colour-blocking is a step too far, tone it down by investing in a ruby or amethyst-coloured winter coat or in accessories in precious shades of sapphire or garnet
	Gucci		Versace

Sixties Scene
Fashion has moved on from summer's devotion to the Seventies, this autumn/winter 2011-12 is all about the Sixties Look to Bottega Veneta or Jean Paul Gaultier for a sophisticated take on ladylike dressing with a retro spin Go for fabrics that will hold their shape in shift dresses and two-piece skirt suits Head to Prada for graphic-print pinafores and to Burberry for winter coats with perfectly sloped shoulders Wear with knee-high boots or pretty pointed court shoes
