Top 10 fashion tips for autumn / winter 2010

Stay bang on trend while wearing clothes that are affordable by checking out the latest fashions and autumn / winter collections online. Here we give you top 10 ways to wear the new season's 1950s inspired shapes, colours and styles no matter what your body shape, skin tone or budget.

1. The trend for autumn / winter 2010 is all about dressing the female form to maximise curves and whether you have readymade curves or you need a little help from those clever designers, there will be clothes that suit you and get you noticed for all the right reasons.

2. The trick to working any new season's trends is to focus on buying a few key pieces and integrating them into your basics wardrobe. Going all out on a fashion can make you look like you're trying too hard and can create a contrived look that looks more like costume than fashion.

3. This season's key pieces are wrap waisted belts in soft tan, brown and black leathers which are absolutely perfect for creating curves where there are none or emphasising tiny waists. These can be combined with plain t-shirts and full maxi skirts in flirty floral patterns or lace and mesh for a hippy take on the 1950s fashion.

4. 1950s drama is where it is at for this autumn winter, so when the weather turns cold and wet and you want to stay feminine but warm, this harking back to the days of Marilyn Monroe is the perfect solution. Team maxi skirts with thick tights and baby doll t-bar shoes for a cute but practical look that will look great in the office or nursing a cup of coffee on an autumn afternoon.

5. Accessorise cleverly whatever the fashion is and in this 1950s autumn winter trend, it's all about accessorising the feet with cute little ankle socks in pastel colours which create that 1950s daily look which can be worn by just about anyone.

6. The biggest mistake many people make is to buy fashionable items just because they think they should and not because they suit them, so choose between the on trend colours of a season and the shapes and silhouettes the key pieces create. This season it's all about classic camel and deep purples, aubergines and violet, as well as glamorous metallics and pastel coloured faded florals when it comes to colour and it's all about nipped in waists and voluptuous, dramatic curves when it comes to shape.

7. Don't be afraid to try something new but introduce it slowly, one piece at a time so you build confidence in wearing them because 1950s glamour was all about having total confidence in feminine curves.

8. Mix plains with patterns and different materials this season, choose a floral maxi skirt and team with a plain women's crop top in nude, beige, camel or navy and instantly transform your style from spring / summer to autumn / winter. Also look out for mesh and lace combinations as well as sheer and opaque fabrics to build texture and emphasise your best assets.

9. Buy dresses or tops which button up to the neck and are sleeveless for true 1950s glamour or show off your assets with balconette corsetry in soft florals.

10. Invest in a maxi skirt, a maxi dress and lots of cute, preppy t-shirts and women's crop tops in plain, luxurious fabrics such as wools and cashmeres for easy to wear outfits that will keep you comfortable and fashionable.

So get ahead of the high street by following our tips and buying women's fashion clothing online for the ultimate choice of gorgeous clothes and the most affordable ways to dress for all occasions and seasons.

For all the latest women's fashion clothing, such as maxi dresses, go online and you'll find everything from a women's crop top that you'll love forever and maxi skirts that are bang on trend for autumn winter 2010.
