After a disappointing Summer, Autumn is definitely upon us bringing with it cold winds, drizzly rain and the need for warmer clothes. Bring in this Autumn with refined style by embracing the strict and sleek glamour of the 1940s fashion.
The 1940s fashions are the epitome of womanly sophistication with pretty blouses, nipped in waists and over-the-knee skirt lengths. This is a strong and feminine trend demonstrating girl power but in an elegant way. Gucci and Miu Miu both embraced bright colour to mix up the 1940s fashion trend in an effort to entice more youthful shoppers to try this otherwise grown up trend, but no-one embodied this trend better than Jonathan Saunders. For a more traditional look, keep your eye out for jewel-tones such as garnet, emerald and opal. Although this trend leaves you quite covered up, the figure hugging shapes perfectly define a very sexy, womanly silhouette. Rock this look for an instant hourglass figure.

If your head is in a spin with the constant changing of hemlines this year then take heed: this look is bringing back the midi length with a vengeance. Pencil skirts are the archetypal staple for this season. Exude forties charm in this Athena Belted Pencil Skirt in a gorgeous muted cream colour. This classic style comes with a skinny waist belt which creates a very smart, vintage look. Match this with a simple evening top, sky-high court shoes and a jewel-encrusted mini clutch. This is 1940s fashion at it’s simplest and easiest to work into your wardrobe.
