With September officially marking the autumn season, we’re gradually fading out our tans and looking at what we can look forward to in the fashion world.
One key item to consider in addition to your wardrobe is of course your barnet, which will make a statement whatever you decide to wear.
Matthew Williamson and Peter Som have this season made the slant parting a huge must have. Wear it neat, sleek and parted on the side to give a nod to the masculine trend.
If you’re planning a night out then look at the Edwardian trend that’s also hot this season, blinging up curls and updos with definition, or take inspiration from the House of Holland and go for a low ponytail for a simple daytime look.
See the gallery below for some of our fave looks.

The sun may still have its hat on but as the holidays and summer festivals begin to die down there’s only one thing that’s on our mind and that’s next season’s fab fashions.
One trend that looks set to be key is the Edwardian look, which lends itself to a range of different winter styles.
Channelled on the Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton AW catwalk, elements of this look are great for giving a nod to the tweed country feel, while those who want to show off this trend on a night out will love the hats and jewelled coats and waistcoats this lends itself to.
See the gallery below for Louis Vuitton’s AW 2012 take on this look.

Leather has been a hot trend this season, and as we move into the winter months this look is set to get hotter.
Instead of the simple black biker jackets and shift skirts that have made their way into Spring/Summer wardrobes, this look will evolve into a glossy black vixen look for the Autumn/Winter season – think sleek dresses, knee and thigh high boots, that also give a huge nod to the gothic look.
Take inspiration from the looks shown on the Gucci, Fendi and Loewe AW 2012 catwalks or give a nod to this season’s leather looks, which have been channelled by a range of celebrities such as Alexa Chung and Emma Watson.
See the gallery below for the star style.

The tutu and netted skirt is a trend we’re not too sure what to make of.
Despite being hot on the Chanel and Prada SS 2012 catwalks, we can’t quite see this trend being worn on a night out, or a day at the park.
Instead this look has made its way into the celebrity limelight, with the likes of kooky princesses Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj championing the tutu, and Tulisa showing how a netted number can be worn that little bit more casually.
If you’re desperate to wear this trend then why not take inspiration from Lily Collins and wear a longer netted skirt for a posh evening do or wedding.
See the gallery below for our faves style pics.

If you’re looking for that special outfit to brighten up this damp, dull summer then the orange dress may be a perfect option.
Hot on the Prada and D&G summer 2012 catwalks, this hue is great for brightening up any day.
Take a leaf out of Demi Lovato’s book and go for a skater style dress teamed with a biker jacket for a 50s inspired daytime look or copy Katie Holmes’ simple frock for an evening event.
See the star style inspiration in the gallery below.

The summer is still less than sizzling, but that’s no excuse to neglect all the trends of the season, especially when they are as versatile as the peplum top.
Hot on the Burberry, Chanel, Victoria Beckham and Christian Dior summer 2012 catwalks, this look can be paired with trousers- for that rainy day at the office outfit, or with a shift skirt for a business meeting or smart night out. Team up one of these tops with a dark pair or skinny jeans for a more casual look, or go for cropped trousers and wedges for a night out.
See the gallery below to see how celebrities including Kyle Minogue, Olivia Palermo, Holly Willoughby and Gwen Stefani are wearing these tops.

The blue dress has been hanging around in the fashion wings, ever since Kate Middleton opted for this hue in the shape of her Issa engagement frock.
However, this season, this colour is really shining, becoming a key trend on both the red carpet and highstreet rails.

Stella McCartney’s SS 2012 is a classic girl’s dream.
The range, which this season consisted of twee printed wide trousers and 80s jackets as well as shift dresses, is a great way to keep cool in the office, as well as making a stand in the evening too.
Satin trousers give the collection an ethereal feel, while we heart the thicker patterned fabrics, which give an 80s power woman feel to the range.
See the gallery below for our fave pieces.

Purple has become a hot colour to be seen in this season.
Prada made it a key hue on its Spring/Summer 2012 catwalk, while Marc Jacobs and Burberry also paid homage to this colour in their collections too.
And celebrities have been quick to adopt this colour for their red carpet and everyday looks.
Lady Gaga opted for a dark purple mini dress for a trip to the Far East, while Emma Watson incorporated this colour into a marble effect dress at the MTV Music Awards.
Katy Perry went for lilac for her red carpet dress at the Billboard awards, while Beyonce brightened up her black dress with a touch of purple fringing.

The Queen’s Jubilee is almost here and we’re already looking forward to the long Bank Holiday weekend.
However, with an event as big as this there’s always the dilemma of what to wear.
Thankfully we’re here to help and so is the highstreet, offering a range of Jubilee inspired pieces that will suit any occasion you are planning to attend.
Go all patriotic with a Union Jack tee teamed with jeans for a casual look that’s perfect for a daytime garden party or be daring for an evening BBQ with a cheeky pair of printed hotpants.
If you’re a subtle kind of girl then accessorise a plain outfit with a Union Jack scarf, bag or limited edition jewellery, which will not only give a nod to the event but is also a great keepsake.
Or if flags aren’t your thing then a bold coloured dress in red, blue or white will also ensure you make a Jubilee stand.
However, one word word of advice; wrapping yourself in a Union Jack flag is not a look you want to go for, no matter how much the Pimms has been flowing.
See the gallery below for some of our best Jubilee picks.

The summer weather is finally shining through and many of us are making the most of it, donning our sandals and wedges and picking out items in our wardrobes to help us flash our pins.
One item that’s a must-have for this is of course a trusty pair of shorts, which are not only bang on summer trend but also great for dressing up and down.
Give a nod to the bold colour prints that are hot on the highstreet this season with a pair of cute block coloured shorts, or copy Jessie J’s iconic patterned look with a scarf print pair.
If you’re planning a night out then leopard print shorts are great to dress up, while a neutral coloured suede pair will ensure you keep a little bit warmer in the cooler evenings. Team up both styles with a simple tee or vest and accessorise to the max for that perfect understated look.
See the gallery below for our top five highstreet picks.
