Seven essential style trends for autumn/winter 09
Big shoulders
This season's lines are a mixture of most of the decades from the 20th century – flying back and forth in time from the 1950s chic, romantic and structured military to 1980s glam rock.
Big shoulders are a must this year, well-defined structured pieces such as coats and jackets with exaggerated puff shoulders and pads on blouses and dresses.
Top tip: If you’re going for the bold shoulders, keep the rest of the body streamlined to balance out the look.
Buy from: Primark, £19. This gorgeous blue sequined dress is a steal at under £20, combining the season’s structured shoulders with an 80s feel, which is also huge this year.
