As far as the classical neutrals are concerned, we will still see some grey, but not as prominent as last year. Chocolate brown, snuff, nutmeg, rust and taupe are the hot favourites this year. The ubiquitous black is still much in evidence. If you have good legs and short hems take your fancy, then thicker, rib knit or opaque tights are a must. Ankle, mid-calf and knee length, depending on your proportions.
Heels are either very high or totally flat.
Pashminas still feature, but so do other wraps, which give a softer effect than the very formal structured jacket. For real elegance, drape your wrap or pashmina over one shoulder over your jacket. The soft folds hanging down will add vertical lines to draw the eye up. Accessories have always been important, but even more so this year. Gloves, hats of all description, Isadora Duncan-length scarves, leggings, and wraps were in much evidence on the international catwalks.
