Autumn 2010. Are you up for it?

I know it’s early and it feels like summer has only just begun, but I am looking for an excuse to go shopping. And guess what, the new arrivals for autumn 2010 are the perfect excuse.

(Going sales-shopping and coming home with nothing else but new collection, recognizable? Yep I already thought so, but if you can’t resist you better spend wisely so read carefully…)

Not to bother you with too many trends at once I have picked one (but no worries, surely the rest will follow the coming weeks/months) and I promise: it’s a good one.

MINIMALISM…

I might be bothering you with this all time favorite quote, but it’s oh so true:
Less is more
and that definitely goes for winter 2010.

My absolute favorite minimalist look is Dries Van Noten’s grey coat with khaki pants combined with a simple black shirt. How basic can one go? Now, the good thing is that this is not a difficult silhouette and anyone can get away with it! Invest in a good coat, grey is a great color, but also consider camel. You’ll see a lot of camel coats this winter, be the first! Get some nice figure-hugging pants, go vintage shopping for a cool bag and shoes and you are all set. How easy is that?

Another great (and perhaps a tiny bit more affordable) is the one below by COS. Again, easy peasy…
Wear a white tunic shirt (make sure you get one that suits your figure, not everybody can pull of a short wide tunic) add a great pair of black jeans, some fashionable ankle boots a satchel and again: all set!

Still need to be convinced of this style? The next silhouette could just convince you. Céline pairs a white shirt with an A line skirt. Make sure the skirt is not too long, it will make you look prudish rather than fashionable.

Enjoy your shopping trip…
