SNUG and smart – those are the buzz words for autumn/winter 2010.
The nation continues its love affair with the military look and gothica, and you can just add a cardy or shrug to let your maxi dress live on into winter.
But, thanks to 60s chic in the hit TV series Mad Men and our current fascination with 50s-style afternoon tea parties, this season’s new trends are definitely spit-spot and prim-and-proper.
