Just wondering what are the main trends for this Autumn and Winter 2006. i heard baggy jeans and metallics are coming back in, but i havent seen any in magazines or on catwalks

[shineybomb]

Shoes : Patent bright heels, either flat or wooden heel or wedge. Or, glittery silver or gold platform heels

Fabrics : Tartan, leopard print (best in accessories like bags and shoes unless you like to stand out a lot)

Bags : HUGE bags or little patent clutches for evening

Clothes : Short sweater dresses with leggings and knee boots. "Boyfriend" jeans, so baggy looking, or skinny fit is still in for the smaller ladies.

Grey is the IN colour for clothes this Aututm/Winter, and looks great with patent bright shoes or bags.

Any boots are always fashionable in the colder months, heeled or flat - you can't really go wrong. Riding boots are back again too.

Can you tell I've been reading fashion mags a lot today?

Saw a lady wearing red tartan shoes yesterday so shineybomb obviously knows what's 'in'!

Thanks Shineybomb, I read Glamour and Elle occasionally but find it hard to pick out whats the fashion as what i see in the shops differ to magazines. What magazines do you read?

[shineybomb]

I find "Happy" is the best magazine for trends as it is just about fashion and shopping. Its quite new and reasonabley priced, plus they have a good selection of high street and designer too.

I get a few issues of "In Style" per year when I need something to pass the lunchtimes at work. Good for ideas although most of the things they have are too expensive.

I get "Heat" every week but its not much of a fashion mag, they do have the top trends though.

Very rarely I buy Vogue or Elle except when I'm really bored at work because they are expensive and have too many adverts.

I bought Grazia this week for the first time and there were a few good ideas in there for the price.

Check out ASOS.co.uk for what the celebs are wearing - they have clothes and accessories as seen on many celebs and its really reasonably priced too. They have a good sale on at the moment.

Apparently greys, dusky pink and choc brown are meant to be the colours but we have dun that soooooooooo many times. ALso a new trend is meant to be DENIM SHORTS AND BOOTS!?!?!?! WOULD ANYONE WHERE THAT?



Oh AND THE KNEW BOOTS FASHION IS ANKLE BOOTS

[Bubblegum]

I'd be happy to wear that, but arent shorts a little too cold to wear for A/W?! Unless its with tights

[shineybomb]

If wearing little shorts - wear with cream wool tights to keep you warm. I would only wear with flats though otherwise that would be a little OTT with high heels.

There are some great little ankle boots in Primark this season, and only �12 per pair instead of �60+ in most shops. They can make your feet look big if you don't have little feet in the first place though so knee-length could be a better option and would last more than one season. But at �12 you can't go wrong.
