Can anyone enlighten me as to what the key trends are likely to be for A/W 2013?

[flippitydoodah]

Am hoping that I wont have to add much to my current wardrobe to update my look. Hoping some of the bloggers who also mumsnet will contribute some advice too! TIA

Animals on jumpers was 2011 M and S have a squirrel one in I noticed today so hardly the height of chic. I think plain plain plain well cut and spend the rest of the money on your face and hair

Am I the only one who is not quite sure which of the posts are the piss-takes?

Leather skirts. Vile

Unless mini. For streetwalker chic

Cat Slater style. Or if you like to wipe clean & go

Noooo Noddy it depends on the animal......squirrels and horses are soooo last year!!!
I like a leather skirt.......
OP September issue of In Style has it all in.

It's all about the panda this season.

The Boy Shoe is genuine. You'll all be wearing them by October.

Noddy. Trust me on animals on jumpers- just different ones to last year!!
This year it's about birds and game animals
I'm being serious!!

I was looking forward to buying some new clothes this winter. But I'm not sure I want to look like a sheperdess or a sailor boy. Hope there are some better alternatives.

I remember Fregie or Do wearing a black sheep jumper. They looked dreadful back then.

What is a bit shoe?

*Di, not do.

Blooming autocorect on the phone.
*boy shoe. [Grin]

Lol at different animals. Twats

.blue tits on jumpers....tits will be huge this autumn.......

...and cocks

Ladymilfordhaven was 'twats' aimed at me? So charming
The op asked a question, you've not been helpful
You can sneer at fashion however you like but you've still not been relent to the original question....

The hunting shooting fishing style has been done to death. Birds pheasants stags etc everywhere the last few years I had a royal blue jumper with 2 birds got £2 at car boot sale last sunday .

Mand S has dogs cats raccoons birds squirrels pandas leopards ALL HIDEOUS.

I loved the Aubin & Wills fox jumper last year.

Noddy I would have asked you if you would take a pound for it

I would have given you it!

Agree with noddy. Animal jumpers = hideous.
And I like leather skirts. So ignore me, by all accounts I know nowt.

skirt

I like leather skirts too!

From the press days I've been to it will be lots of standard winter fare: tweed, velvet, tartan, leather etc. I've seen quite a lot of floral brocade and glittery knits too. Shoe wise, pointy toed, lower heeled Alexander Wang style ankle strap shoes will be big, as well as cut-out Balenciaga style boots and monk strap flats. Animal print is stil going strong, snake print in the main. Sixties style matching geometric print structured tees and cropped trousers look to be big too. Coat wise, the cocoon shape is still strong, as well as wrap coats and the particularly stupid sleeveless version. Coulor wise, it's as you'd expect, lots of jewel tones, with ruby and emerald particularly strong. Statement jewelled necklaces and earrings continue in appropriate shades.
