One trend definitely in this coming season is that of silk if the catwalks showing the latest fashions from Preen and Donna Karan are anything to go by. The colours are relatively neutral, with subtle honeydew and blush being one of the many combinations.

Other designers in contrast are opting for more bold colours for both men and women, designers such as Jil Sander and Matthew Williamson for example.

For online clothes shopping you're more likely to find textures and patterns leading the way, with layers, petals and ruffles creating sculptures with your clothes. There are classic shapes of course, but a new soft feel to clothes such as skirts and dresses.

If you like to clothes shop online you'll also find that the classic pencil skirt has changed as well. Its once stark lines have been replaced with softer layers and ruffles. Texture is the key this year, and it's advisable to avoid the distractions that jewellery and excessive make-up can bring. Let your fashion speak for itself.
