What's the look?Reworking military and naval uniforms has
long been a favourite trick of designers, but
for autumn 09 they have gone very literal. The
result is something to be reckoned with, with
elegant naval frock coats, lace-up boots and
bold button detailing.
How to do itA sharp-as-a-tack coat or jacket is the pivotal
item in the army and navy look, worn over
skinny jeans and knee boots. Gold-buttoned
gloves are a hard-working accessory.

SHARP TAILORINGWhat's the look?There’s always a place for beautifully
tailored shirts, trousers and jackets,
and this season it’s centre stage. Take
charge in a don’t-mess-with-me suit.
How to do itA quality black jacket and trousers are
workplace style essentials – after that
it’s about putting your own stamp on
the look. Go androgynous with braces
or a waistcoat, or put a feminine twist
on tailoring in a pleated blouse. Add
an ankle boot for a hint of sex appeal.

What's the look?Don’t let the schoolgirl theme fool you:
whatever your age, you can make this
look suitably grown-up. Style it to be
sophisticated enough for the office but
sexy enough for a post-work drink.
How to do itLayer cute cardigans and soft jumpers over a
flirty skirt, and add heeled brogues to complete
the look. To understate it wear opaque tights,
but if you’re feeling daring, knee socks.

What's the look?Autumn’s new colour family includes
blush pink, warm red and dusky
purple. It’s an ultra-feminine look-at-
me palette, and designers didn’t shy
away from top-to-toe colour.
How to do itThe beauty of this trend is the
freedom you have to make it your
own. Choose shades that flatter your
complexion and work for your
wardrobe. Go all-out in a violet dress,
or enhance a low-key outfit with berry
accents: try sumptuous cherry knee
boots or pretty purple pumps.

F orget burly lumberjacks. Recently the check has been championed by
the painfully cool offspring of rock stars, which has made it an intimidating trend for those of us who have jobs instead of trust funds. But look again: this season the look is all grown-up, and couldn’t be easier to wear. Be classic but on-trend in a checked shirt with skinny jeans, or pair a suit with tartan court shoes for a work look that’s fashion-forward, not flashy.
It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s scary to wear. Not any more...

SARAH KEEPS
HEELS IN HER
DAY BAG TO
SLIP ON FOR
MEETINGS
“My work life varies hugely.
Sometimes I’m with a client
knocking out a creative brief,
sometimes I’m surrounded by millions of
shoes on a shoot, sometimes I’m at home
writing. I’ve got pieces that multi-task (a
denim mini-dress is a current favourite),
and versatile items I’ll never regret splashing
out on – like my beige mac. I normally wear
flats to run around to meetings but I always
keep a good pair of heels in my big day bag
(current favourites are patent orange).
I used to dress up more for appointments
but the older I get, the more I just want to
be me. When I’m shooting overseas in the
heat I’ve got a complete wardrobe I keep
in a case ready to go: tees, cropped jersey
trousers and a couple of cute dresses for
evening. Most of my closet has a utilitarian
look as I love anything that riffs on a
uniform. I’d wear the Brownie frock of my
youth if I thought I could get away with it –
complete with purse belt.”

HOW DO YOU DO THIS TREND’S LAYERED-UP LOOK IF YOU’RE NOT MODEL-SIZED? WE MAKE IT EASY
The fashion houses of Burberry,
Anna Sui and Etro championed
this opulent folkloric look, but
designers don’t always think
about the translation from
catwalk model to real woman.
Layering up can add bulk if
it’s not done well. So whether
you’ve got curves, no curves
at all or a narrow torso with
wider hips, we show you how
the season’s big trend can look
fabulous on you. For more figure
flattering styles to suit every
shape up to size 34 just log onto
to Laredoute.co.uk and check
out our Plus Size collection.

your decade
EXPERIMENTAL 20’sHATTIE HUMPHREYS, 26, Manchester Three years after university, writer Hattie’s staple wardrobe hadn’t graduated beyond her graduation. “I feel like I haven’t left my student days behind,” she explains. “I’d love to look more grown-up, but I don’t want to be lamb dressed as mutton.” Stylist Debby Barry took the matter in hand, pairing wet-look leggings with a short blazer and studded shoeboots for a sophisticated grunge-luxe twist on the nautical trend. Initially, Hattie had doubts about the leggings: “I liked them on other girls but I wasn’t sure they’d suit me.” It was a bold move, but it worked. “I love them!” says the new body-con convert. “They’re really fun. I’d definitely wear them for a night out.” “In your twenties, fashion should be about experimenting,” says Debby. “Don’t worry about making mistakes.”
WET-LOOK LEggingsThe leggings and studded shoe-boots add instant rock-chick glamour, keeping the jacket looking young and edgy.Leggings £17 795.1957
Shoe-boots £39 862.0520
3 women, 3 ages, 1 trend: the La Redoute style challengeNautical was one of the major stories on the autumn 09 catwalks. double-breasted silhouettes were streamlined with belted blazers (Hermès) and skinny cigarette pants (Lagerfeld), all set off with button detailing and reams of gold chains. The knack to this trend is knowing how to put your own spin on it. With the help of our stylist, we asked three women of different ages to prove just how easy it can be to dress for your decade… nautical-style.

SHRUNKEN BLAZERAttention to detail is the
most sophisticated way to
channel a trend. The
embroidered crest and
silver buttons on this jacket
give a nod to nautical chic.

chic more than a Breton-
inspired top. The metallic
bag updates this classic.

Sammie, 41,London
DYNAMIC 30’sDEEPA THAkkER, 31, Surrey A diary crammed full of client meetings dictates marketing manager Deepa’s style, and has led her down the safe path of a corporate wardrobe. “I thought this nautical trend might be too casual for me,” she explains. “Dressing in a classic way seems smarter.” Stylist Debby was keen to complement Deepa’s existing wardrobe and show how a single new piece can update a look: “By the time most women hit their thirties, they’re more confident with their individual style. They want to buy investment pieces.” She chose a trophy coat for Deepa. “A statement military coat is bang-on-trend, and this one marries the button detail of Armani with the asymmetric hems of Comme des Garçons.” Deepa’s verdict? “I adore it! It’s on-trend yet smart. The cut, the material – I love it all!”

SOPHISTICATED 40’sSAMMIE McCARTHY, 41, London Production controller and yummy-mummy Sammie rarely ventured out of her jeans and trainers, choosing function over fashion. “Lots of women in their forties get into a style rut,” says Debby. “They think that trends are for teenagers, but I wanted to show Sammie that she can introduce quirky items into her wardrobe without looking like a fashion victim.” Sammie had reservations. “I wasn’t keen on the nautical look,” she explains. “I’d been there and done it 15 years ago and felt it was too young for me.” But the combination of micro-jacket and sheer striped blouse convinced her that interpretation is key to dressing for your decade: “I feel confident and stylish – I’m not ruling anything out now!”

The SWEATERDRESS£29Red 994.3072
AUTUMN’S USUAL failsafe
tone – black, black, black – is
getting a run for its money this
season. It seems that designers
have reacted to the gloomy
global markets by injecting a
large dollop of hopefulness
through their choice of palettes,
and the catwalks were a
carnival of colour. “Bright jewel
tones are making a comeback
with some neon and acid
shades thrown into the mix,”
explains Ali Hall, editor of
shopping magazine Look. She
encourages us all to try to look
on the bright side of life this
season: “Clashing colours have
been a huge hit with designers
so test out contrasting shades
you’ve never tried before.
Red was a catwalk favourite,
with black and red proving
to be the statement colour
combo. Neutrals such as grey
have style longevity and act
as a simple blank canvas, so
TheHAT & SCARF
SET£21
Blue 966.2553
start with a muted base, then
experiment with brighter shades
to complement it.”
So you don’t have to go full-on
technicolour from head to toe.
If you’re nervous of colour
blocking, take style notes from
Laura Fantacci, shopping editor
at Red magazine: “Grey is the
new navy and any shade of
it, from lighter dusty hues to
rich smokey ones, works with
just about every colour of the
rainbow – try burnt colours like
orange, yellow and aubergine.”
This season La Redoute is hot
on the heels of the designers
with its colourful mix-and-match

collection. These super-soft
knit jumper dresses, V-necks
and jersey tops will team easily
with more muted tones of grey
and black, and you don’t need
bags of confidence to pull them
off. Shrinking violets can get
a hit of colour into their winter
wardrobe with the collection’s
eye-popping accessories –
hats, scarves, court shoes and
ballet pumps. Look out for our
surefire winner of the collection:
the suede slouch bag (see p26).
Every piece in the line comes
in every shade, including royal
blue, vibrant purple, canary
yellow and pillar-box red.
After last winter’s gothic
obsession this autumn’s riot of
colour is sure to give us all a lift.
Just take heed from the grande
dame of fashion herself, Coco
Chanel, who said it best when
she insisted: “The best colour in
the world is the one that looks
good on you!”

QI love the
vintage look but I
don’t have time to
trawl through
charity shops – any ideas?
Rachel, Doncaster
A If the lived-in look is
what you’re after, a
brand new T-shirt with
vintage-style imagery can do
the trick just as well. Wear
with a shrunken blazer and
distressed jeans to channel the
rock chick vibe – and a trilby if
you’re feeling extra confident.
T-Shirt £9 950.1290

Q Dresses aren’t my
thing, but I’ve got a
posh charity do next
month and I need to look
smart. Any other options?
Louise, Newcastle
A A little tuxedo jacket is
the perfect compromise.
Be fashion-forward by
adding harem pants to your
tux-with-a-twist – and always
the highest heels possible.
QHow do I begin
to bring colour
into my mainly
monochrome wardrobe?
Selina, Manchester
AFirst of all, congrats on a
brave step. Head-to-toe
block colour will make
you look taller and slimmer
– but if that’s a bit too bold,
colour-pop accessories are a
super-chic alternative.
QI dread autumn, when
it’s too hot for my
winter coat but too
cold for just a cardie. I don’t
want to buy a lightweight
coat I can only wear for a
month or so... Help!
Sarah, Aberdeen
AWorry not. The catwalks
were invaded by chunky
knits: invest in a knitted
poncho you can wear right
through to early spring. It’s a
luxurious way to stave off the
autumn chill. Choose a neutral
shade for a laidback luxe look,
and make sure the rest of your
silhouette is streamlined.
QMy work involves a lot
of social events, so
I need practical but
stylish footwear – any ideas?
Claire, Cheltenham
AMid-heeled knee-high
boots are your answer.
With a sensible height
comfy enough for boardroom
and bar, they’re fabulous with a
below-the-knee skirt.
