Summer may only be half way through but already the autumn trends are starting to emerge. The summer sales are over and the shops are starting to bring in their autumn collections. One of the main changes from summer to autumn is the change in colours. Soon it will be time to put away those summer brights and whites and bring on autumns most popular shades.

These colours look best materials with a bit of shine such as satin or a sequinned material to give it an even more jewel like effect. For a standout look wear the colour head to toe and in block colours, so no pieces with prints.

2. The second colour trend of autumn is those rich spice colours: rust, wine, mustard, orange...

These colours look best worn with simple gold accessories and if you are going to wear another colour make sure it is black.

CUT OUT

The suns out so it's time to show a little skin and a great way to do this is with cut outs. There are loads of ways to wear this trend whether it's a cage back dress or a long sleeve t-shirt with slitted sleeves. Just remember to wear some suncream or you could end up with a really weird tan line...
