TIP...this is a great wash and the texture is perfect to match with the tribal trend that will be big for autumn layer the trousers with statement boots and a blanket style printed coat or cardigan the hems of the trousers can be bunched at the boot to give the look of slouchy socks

TIP...the dark wash of these trousers are great as they can work well with a strong colour like the blouse. I rolled up the hem to add to the effect of the trousers being denim and the waistcoat is a good autumn layer with a 70's twist the snakeskin boots are a must have for winter

TIP...I love the faded grunge wash of the trousers and have given them a 90's look with a loose knit jumper and printed creepers but keep the trouser size tighter to add sexiness and a hat finishes the look

Checks.....

TIP...a scarf is a key accessory for the season ahead and a great way to mix your fabrics (update your own oversized scarf and attach a strip of faux fur to the middle) I have added silk wide leg trousers for a more glamourous daytime look

DETAILS...the stack heel is my favourite shoe shape for autumn this shoe has a great height and the detail gives this shoe a edgy 60's feel wear with skinny jeans for a modern look

TIP...I have contrasted the 50's with the 90's with this great a-line skirt and pick a loose jumper but keep the skirt on the hips for a more laid back feel and add coloured shoe laces to your boot for an extra detail
