Bold without being OTT, comfortable yet  flattering, the fall 2013 trends are a buyer’s dream – here are the top trends which have ‘wear me now’ written all over them. Autumn is the best time to wear a dress with stocking but not hide it with an overcoat. If you are brave an over-sized blazer or sweater with heels. In other words everything is excused, you can wear shorts with a sweater, shorts with stockings or hot pants with boots. Here is a list of our favourite trends, pick yours and see what it says about you?

Full skirt: Fifties style full skirts are the way to go, whether you team them up with sweaters or a frilly top, they look absolutely beautiful and make a great statement this season.

Vintage Chic: You are a well traveled fashionista – not afraid of looking different and attracting attention.

Maxi Dress: Is perfect for winters, get them in pop colours or black with a front slit. Everyone from

Rihanna to Beyonce is rocking this trend. You can team up your maxi with boots or heels, a skirt with a thigh high slit in the front is in vogue as well.

Front slit maxi– Your style quotient is the same as that of Rihanna’s, you are a style chameleon and you grab eyeballs wherever you go.

Cropped top with High waisted skirts/ shorts/ fitted jeans: This style aside from being super retro is super flattering, team the cropped top with a full skirt, pencil skirt, high waisted shorts or pants.

It is super flattering – team up a floral crop top with a matching pencil skirt for a  vintage chic look. You are a retro girl and your style is a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly

Sequinned dresses: aka Gossip girl style.
As long as we have christmas,new years and diwali  – the sequinned dress shall never go out of style. You are a high-fashion diva and not afraid to stand out.

Asymmetrical Skirts/ Dresses:

This season is about showing legs – either its slit maxis,thigh high slit skirts or asymmetrical dresses. The U cut is sexy, stylish and very in.

If you pick this style it means you are toned, confident and love peek-a-boo

Prints for this season: Tartan (checks in red, blue and black are back), stripes and polka dots are trending internationally. We recommend that you pick up the above mentioned styles in these fabrics.
