This
season sees an eclectic mix of trends from the admiral styled
‘Military’ to the feminine ‘Victoriana’. With a plethora of
brands to choose from in Clerys including Morgan, Karen Millen,
Topshop, Planet, Precis, Inwear, and CC,
you’ll have no problem finding a look to suit you this autumn/winter.
Tailoring
is very much to the forefront this season and Planet and Turnover
have some classic pieces worth investing in. This season sees the
introduction of jacquard and lightweight tweeds adding a twist to sharp
tailoring. Trousers are cut slightly wider, whilst jackets are ultra
feminine, shapely and curve enhancing.
While
not denying the need for a good black suit, which should be a staple in
every wardrobe, mix it up a little this season with the introduction of
soft white pieces like pussy bow blouses, camisoles or corsets to
achieve that monochrome look. Brave the elements and wear a skirt suit
by Michael H ‘Gold’. Complete the look with an oversized
purse from Firorelli or Friss Company from Clerys
accessories department.
Military
themed collections are also in vogue and are a key element of the
current Warehouse collection. Mixing harder edged looks with a
soft, free falling skirt will achieve a softer silhouette.
Miss Selfridge is definitely one department to check out
if you prefer the dramatic Russian influenced designs, but if you aspire
to the romantic Victoriana look, Morgan is a must to visit.
If
you are looking to make a statement Karen Millens gold brocade
jacket is not for the faint hearted! Teamed with matching shoes, bag and
a pair of drain pipe jeans you’re sure to turn heads. For those not so
daring but looking to stand out from the crowd LB has a beautiful
cream wool coat with faux fur cuff detail - another of this seasons
style statements.
Perennial
favourites Gerry Weber, Bianca, and Michel Ambers have
outdone themselves with an accessible take on this season’s catwalk
trends. Complimentary colours to Irish skin tones including espresso
browns, powder blues, moss greens and berry purples make a strong
appearance across all brands. From the sophisticated suit to occasion
wear these brands won’t let you down.
However,
if you want something a little more quirky and innovative its worth
checking out Crea, Balu or Imprevu all part of
Clerys European Collections department on the first floor. Minosa,
Long Tall Sally, Elvi and Windsmoor are also full
of this seasons hottest trends.
No
self-respecting fashionista can call an outfit complete without a bag or
shoes to complement her look. Karen Millen’s Hitchcock bags, Suzi
Smiths
tweed bags and Radleys leather bags will make it difficult to choose
just one to buy. Step into style with Karen Millen, a girl after our own
heart who has
designed matching shoes for all her bags. Dolcis, Jane Shilton and
Sisley also have a great selection of footwear this season from sky-high
heels, mod boots and fur lined flats to choose from.
In
order to arrive in style, invest in a good winter coat from Mexx, Naf
Naf or Noa Noa, available in the Ispire department, along
with a host of other European labels. Kangol have a great
selection of angora mix hats to keep that cold chill at bay, while Dents
have a wide selection of leather gloves in an assortment of colours.
However if that’s not enough to keep you warm and dry look at
investing in a Radley umbrella for that extra edge in style.
Underwear
is as important as outerwear. With some beautiful, feminine and funky
designs to choose from in Clerys Lingerie department, including Calvin
Klein, Lejaby, Chantelle, Dim and Triumph you may be tempted
not to go out doors at all.
With
changing seasons it’s also important to change your makeup. Call to
any of Clerys cosmetic counters where staff will be happy to show you
their new colours for the season. Lancôme’s new Rose Mystère
colours - created by Gucci Westman - are especially designed to
complement this seasons colours, as are the Clinique colour surge
eye shadows in violets, pinks and tawnies.
