With trends in the Fashion world moving so quickly, it can sometimes be hard to keep up! However, it’s always important to have a few key items that remain bang on trend, but versatile enough to work with for most occasions. At London Fashion Week, we caught up with some of our favourite bloggers, and they left us with a few hints and tips with what on trend items to invest in this season!

What is your on trend staple for AW11? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!

 

Fab Frocks

F&F Faux Fur Collar Textured Coat – £50

“Everyone needs a great coat in their wardrobes for winter, and I think this one is perfect. It has a great on-trend vintage feel, and it’s so versatile. It would look amazing with jeans and boots for the weekend, or over flippy tea dresses for the office. The nipped in waist is perfect for curves. I would throw this over my favourite vintage floral frock and add a chunky knit scarf: perfect snuggly winterwear!”

Hi Fashion

F&F Brogue Worker Boot

F&F Brogue Worker Boot – £19.50

“Military pieces, such as jackets and trousers, are definitely on trend this season, so adding a pair of military boots to any look is bound to be stylish. Boots are a must for the winter and these are perfect as they look warm, and the buckles on the side add a nice finishing touch to them.

 

There are two ways I would wear these boots. Firstly, I would tuck pair of jeans into them and then add a plain top or t-shirt. To finish the look, I would wear a cropped or leather jacket to give it the full military vibe. I would also pair them with a pretty dress to give the look a bit of edge and make it stand out.”

 

Gem Fetale

F&F Limited Edition Faux Fur Collar Biker Jacket

F&F Limited Edition Faux Fur Biker Jacket – £35

“My on trend staple from F&F this season is the faux fur collar biker jacket. Fur-collared biker jackets were huge on the Loewe catwalk and are the perfect way to keep warm whilst looking cool in tricky A/W weather! I like layering biker jackets over girly dresses to toughen up the look (and confuse my boyfriend). “

Jazzabelle’s Diary

F&F Floppy Hat

F&F Floppy Hat – £12

“My current staple item is most definitely a floppy hat, it’s the perfect Autumn/Winter accessory and just makes even the most plain of outfits a little more special. Plus, it will last you all the way through until Spring/Summer, so it’s quite the investment piece! 

I tend to wear mine with a chiffon maxi skirt, buttoned up shirt and a chunky knit cardigan for a vintage inspired look, but floppy hats look just as lovely simply teamed with a pair of skinny jeans and a baggy jumper.”

 

It’s the new year and with it comes a whole new style.  Here are our favourite trends for Spring/Summer 2011.

1. Purple

A colour that suits everyone, this year it’ll be gracing our wardrobes in it’s many forms and shades, from pastels to Amethyst. MaxMara sent their models down the catwalk in head-to-toe purple.  Get the look with this gorgeous F&F Velvet puff sleeve dress. It’s on trend for 2011 and even better – it’s in our sale!

2.Biker jackets

It’s time to ditch the aviator and get a Harley! Burberry led the way at the S/S 2011 shows, and since then everyone from Kate Moss to Alexa Chung have revived this 80s classic.   Liquorice have designed a fantastic faux leather jacket, which is a snip at just £55!

3. The perfect trouser

Forget harems and pegs…its all about tapered trousers!  Taking the hottest trend of last year straight through to this, this lightweight and sophisticated look will see you out of your winter warmers all the way through to summer. Get the look with these F&F Trousers and team with heels or flat pumps for chic tailored style.

4. Leopard print

Be an animal in 2011! Just don the kitty print to bring out you inner vixen! Try this gorgeous F&F Limited Edition Leopard print top and pair with red nails for that purrrrfect look.

5. Satchels

Practical, chic and with enough room to fit all the essentials, satchels aren’t just for Back to School.  We love this compact Marc Jacobs number – it’s compact, classy and cool as a cucumber. Get the same style for a fraction of the price with our F&F Multi pocket satchel.

6. Camel

Versatile, warm, natural and a great alternative to grey. Keep those neutral hues and add colour as a statement.  While we wait for winter to melt away, this soft hue will warm up an outfit without overpowering it. We love this F&F jumper for its quirky shoulders which add dimension to a winter essential.

7. Make like Vicky B….

As seen in Grazia…gorgeous soft and warm cashmere jumpers. Our F&F Signature Cashmere jumper is made from 100% cashmere, has a super soft feel and is perfect for keeping warm in this season. So make like the Spicy one this season – they’re perfect for David or you.

8. The tux

The tux trend is in full swing with everyone from Kate Moss to Cher Lloyd and Lily Allen donning the fitted black number with everything from skin tight leggings, to wide-legged trousers or over short skirts and dresses.  It’s a clear winner whether you’re stepping out to do the weekly shop, or out to the swankiest restaurant in town.  Steal their style with our F&F Soft crepe Jacket.

9. 1970′s Stripy knits and maxi skirts

Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton…all fans of the Maxi which is seeing its biggest revival since the ‘70s.  Missoni leads the way with their stripy knits, and long, flowing romantic skirts.  Get the look with this F&F Maxi skirt which will see you float into summer like a pre-Raphaelite maiden.

10. Willow Smith Whip your hair….Jumpsuits and afros

If you haven’t seen that video clip or seen the blanket coverage of little miss Smith’s surprise hit, then you’re missing out on 5 minutes of the kind of entertainment only made by the offspring of huge Hollywood stars.  Little Willow Smith whipping her hair back and forth has become a huge internet hit, and now her ‘hair-style’ is making its mark on the fashion world.   We’re going crazy about jumpsuits and afros right now, not just because we want to whip our hair back and forth, but they also look fantastic with a clinch belt and heels.  Check out our gorgeous F&F wide leg jumpsuit for inspiration and get whipping!

Trend Alert – Summer Denim

By Jill Marshall in Trends, Womenswear on Wednesday 30th June, 2010

Yes, we know denim is always trendy, but recently we have seen a resurgence in this wardrobe staple. A tricky thing for most girls, is how to wear this trend in summer, when the heat might dampen your excitement for jeans. The key is to simply add one or two key pieces.

Full length jeans during the summer can be a bit to “warm” for most people, but there are always denim dresses or shorts! To add a denim twist to any oufit, you can’t go wrong with a cropped sleeve biker jacket. Throw over any summer dress, and you are good to go!

Have you got a denim tip? Let us know how you will be wearing denim this summer.

Just finished the March/April shoot for Clothing at Tesco. It was shot in a studio in North London and featured new style biker jackets, a ruched shoulder rain coat, studded harem pants and printed sequin tops. All of which are going to be hot trends later in the year!

Guess what… actor John Hurt was shooting in the studio next door! So high fashion and high drama most certainly collided.
