Ethnic prints in gorgeous autumnal colours are a trendy way to gently ease your summer wardrobe into the cooler days of autumn.

Whilst many people have a wardrobe for each season with the recession and people’s spending power still struggling make the most of the clothes you have are a cost effective and fashionable way help you to remain at the forefront of fashion without having to spend a fortune.

Opt for colours which nature brings into autumn, muted oranges, soft greens, deep reds and gorgeous yellows. If blue is more your colour opt for the hues which nature’s autumnal skies bring, such a more subdued shades of blue rather than the bright blues of summer skies. Soft greys are also in-vogue this autumn and winter and look fantastic teamed with burgundy or soft pinks.

Hang onto your summer dresses and skirts and simply use gentle layering to help keep you warm. Add ankle or knee length boots, denim or leather jackets for a modern look which is bang up to date in the world of fashion.

Accessorise with chunky long bead necklaces and wide bangles made from natural wood. Alternatively you could opt for metallic colours such as bronze, copper and gold which also reflect the colours of autumn. If your legs are not naturally bronzed autumn is the time to start thinking of wearing tights or stockings. For those who hate either of these, and there are many women who do! Choose leggings in beautiful rich colours which contrast and compliment your skirt or dress, add ankle boots for a chic look.

Hang onto summer clothes as long as you can as they will make you feel warmer! Psychological it may be, but for many women it is the incentive and lift they need before resorting to thick jumpers, boots and trousers. Hope for an Indian summer as these warmer days will also lift your mood and your wardrobe!

Think of the beautiful colours from India, long floaty gypsy and peasant styles of skirts are ideal choices, along with maxi dresses to create a chic and elegant look for both formal and informal occasions.

Add geometric patterns to your ensemble to lift it from plain and ordinary into an eye catching and stunning look. Add belts to emphasise waist lines and sleeves with are mid-length or long to cover arms as this will also make you feel warmer! Pretty shrugs are also a good alternative for evenings as they provide an elegant look without bundling you up with chunky layers.

Remember if you wear plus size clothes the bulkier your clothing the larger you will appear, so keep to soft layering for a stunning look which emphasises your wonderful shape.
