Classic Country Vs Quirky Quintessential

Think British Countryside and you will be on trend for this season.
Tartan, Dog Tooth and Check prints mixed classically with contrasting textures like Cord and Quilting for that Quintessential finish. Detailing is a key factor for this trend with tailoring taking full effect, toggles, patches and pockets add practical and interesting touches.
For a more quirky country style try adding a splash of colour to the look, layering a rainbow knit Cardigan with a quilted jacket is bang on trend, for combining the two looks try our 'Hodgy' Cardigan http://www.fusionswardrobe.co.uk/shop/men/knitwear/LUM140619_LUKE-Hodgy-Knitted-Cardigan.aspx by Luke Roper and Squeeler Jacket http://www.fusionswardrobe.co.uk/shop/men/jackets-and-coats/GGSQUEELER_Gio-Goi-SQUEELER-Jacket.aspx by Gio-Goi.

Get The Look This Autumn

Three of the biggest trends to emerge from the catwalks for this Autumn are as follows: Country Casuals - wear tweed, flannel and wool in autumnal colours broken up by splashes of vibrant colours such as turquoise, berry and orange. The look is further updated by wearing tailored items such as riding jackets and tweed short. Check out our new brand in store Jolie Moi with its Vivienne Westwood insired collection; Monochrome - black and white is back worn either oversized or in slim fits (we can't wait for the Religion to arrive); and finally Dominatrix - lots of leather softened with hints of lace and velvet. Wear the leather as a skirt (check out our faux leather mini skirt from Saint Tropez - only £34.99), blazer or trouser and mix in the hints of lace and velvet. Motel licks this look!!

Autumn 2011 Trend is OPTIC SHOCK

One of the key looks for Autumn 2011 is Optic Shock. This means all things bright and beautiful which will make those dark and dreary days so much more bearable. Shun those greys, blacks and browns and get yourself some sunshine style in anything that is bold, loud, embellished, printed, jewelled and fun. Throw together an outfit with lots of random prints - stars, spots, animal print, checks and don't forget to clash the accessories too. Nobody does this look better than Desigual so check out our latest collection from the Spanish brand on www.fusionswardrobe.co.uk and wear with some crazy shoes and a patterned or colourful handbag. If you want to bag yourself a bargain see what Desigual we have in our Sale section which is all half price!!!! Follow this blog to see what the other trends for the season are and how to achieve the look.
