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. Twenty-something women will revel in dresses that take on a very feminine look this season as waists are cinched and skirts billow around the legs. Full sleeves will emphasize slim waists accentuated by brightly colored belts. Skirts will also be full and reach to the knees. Pencil skirts will be a popular style for tweed suits and skirts. Denim remains trendy for the young woman, with dark denim for office or semi-formal wear and light denim for casual attire, especially shorts that should be worn with dark tights. Denim can be worn under formal jackets and coats for one of the best looks this season. Wear a smart tweed or fur coat above dark jeans and finish the ensemble with a pair of Ugg boots. Flat leather boots with fur linings, or even fur on the outside, is the look for winter. Heels are genuinely flat but wedge heels also have their place in fashion this year. A pair of brown leather ballerina shoes is a modish alternative to wear with a pair of jeans. Both men and women will look good in tweeds this winter. Structured tweed suits have a double-breasted jacket accompanied by a narrow knee-length skirt. Look for bold buttons on the jacket. Leather gloves, especially those without fingers, look really chic with a tweed ensemble. Another fashion item borrowed from the men’s collection is the oversized bomber jacket in a khaki fabric or in black leather. Fur linings, ribbed waists and collars and lots of pockets complete the look. Trousers are leather, belted tightly at the waistline and either tapered to the legs or flare out in bell-bottoms. Zips are prominently displayed on trousers. Trimmings make the season’s look and zippers have been very big on the catwalks, with fur always finding a place. Fur trimmings are found on shoulders, cuffs, hemlines of jackets and skirts and wherever the designer could find a place to pop a strip of fur. Gemstones in emerald green, ruby red and amethyst purple add a sparkle to many outfits. Bright belts add zest to any outfit. A waist belt in dazzling jewel colors adds a voguish touch. Designers have acknowledged the coming cold weather by turning to lots of pure wool sweaters in brilliant shades of blue, turquoise and emerald green. Trendsetters will welcome thick knits, long scarves and camel coats teamed with denim and bright accessories. Tote bags in opulent fabrics and patent leather will add the final touch for twenty-something women this season. Now try – Superdry Body Warmer
