The fashion styles for fall and winter of 2011-2012 hold great promise for the twenty-something woman who is ready to show her figure to its best advantage. Waist hugging tweed suits and snuggly fitting dresses that finish above the knee will replace the dowdy dresses of the previous season. In contrast to the dainty, feminine look, leather jackets and thick tweed coats have been borrowed from the menswear range. Shades of khaki and military green will be seen on the streets this fall, as well as the classic black and white. Neutral camel and beige will complement the glittering gemstone colors that will brighten the cold days and nights ahead. Structured waists, enhanced by wide sleeves are for the young and slim. Tops are figure hugging while skirts are full, augmented by box pleats or kick pleats. Lace dresses, fur collars and powdery colors add to the effeminacy of the look. The feminine look is featured in1960’s A-line dresses that flair out to an above-the-knees length. Denim is an all-time favorite and even though few designers presented denim in their fall and winter collections, denim will be seen on the streets this fall. A smart jacket, preferably in tweed, dark denim jeans and furry boots will the look for office wear. Select a double-breasted tweed jacket with ostentatious fastenings. Fur is in vogue as far as boots are concerned. Ugg boots give rise to a range of boots boasting fur, both as a lining and as an adornment on the boot. Alternative footwear is the ballerina shoe, with fur or large buckles as trimmings. As a contradiction to dainty dresses, thick tweeds have been borrowed from the men’s collection. Tweed jackets will be most trendy this fall. Jackets, and suits, will be formal and well structured. Important features will be the double-breasted look with large buttons, big pockets and striped cord edgings. Khaki bomber jackets reflect the influence of the masculine feel this season. Big black and brown bomber jackets with fur collars, fur lining, lots of pockets and zips, and detailed waist and cuff bands, will look stunning on young women. Add soft leather pants cinched at the waist and wide at hems or tailored legs and you will have a winner. Long trench coats in military green complete the militia look. The fabrics, colors and trimmings that a designer chooses adds his signature to a particular collection. Designers found multiple ways to trim and edge items with fur of all shapes, sizes and color, add outsized buttons, ostentatious zippers and use corded edging on their garments this season. Winter will shimmer with color of gemstones that have been attached to garments and belts will bring style and color to the cinched waists. Designers have not forgotten the chilly weather looming up ahead and pure woolen sweaters, thick Scandinavian knits and vivid color to outfits. Long coats in sombre colors are worn in juxtaposition to the denim tops, short skirts and dazzling colors. A good handbag will finish off your ensemble. The tote bag remains a favorite but looks opulent in bright colors and luxuriant fabrics. Patent leather handbags in the season’s color range add the final touch of class.
