A lot of trends for winter 2011 have carried over from summer, and jumpsuits are no exception. They do save a bit of time in the morning, since they’re a ready made outfit, but quite why they have become so popular is, frankly, a total mystery. They’re stupidly inconvenient when you have to use the bathroom, they’re pretty unflattering if you don’t have a body like a coathanger and they make you look like you’ve either just escaped from a harem or the local psych ward. Lovely.

Still, popular they are and they’re everywhere this winter. There are loads of places both on the high street and online that cannot get enough of them and if you’re a dedicated follower of fashion, you will have no problem finding one.

For work, go for a wide leg style in a more muted colour and accessorise with heels and a fitted jacket for an elegant and professional look. Just remember to excuse yourself five minutes early from that meeting to use the ladies room. Accidents at work indeed.

On more casual days, harem style jumpsuits with chunky jewellery and flat ballet pumps will ensure you’re comfortable if nothing else. If you don’t have too much to drink. Try a bold colour to make you stand out from the crowd, or the oh-so-popular floral print for that ‘just shot the curtains’ look.

Jumpsuits can be worn for evenings too and to be fair, some do look quite elegant and classy. A straight leg, one shoulder style looks great with a pretty belt to cinch in the waist and simple jewellery at the throat, ears and wrists. Classic black always looks fantastic but there are many colours and materials available if you want to be a little more daring. Shop around and see what catches your eye!

You can accessorise your jumpsuit or playsuit by visiting Ellos where they have some gorgeous heels, ballet pumps and jewellery online.

Trends are constantly changing and one new fun edition to the fashion world is something very cute indeed!

This new trend comes in the shape of cute little top knots that resemble dog ears and cute little painted on noses!

The edgy yet cutesy head wear and make-up was teamed with the nicest winter coats!

Today is certainly all about the dogs, well this is what is being stated by the top designers that are ruling the cat walks at the moment!

As the fashionable crowd took to the seats, out stepped models adorned in spotty fur enthused coats!  This was certainly a unique style that screamed something different to the stylish attendants!  It is the perfect look for the Christmas season.

Dressing to impress is a must these days, especially when there are one million and one amazing designers out there!

Dressing to impress has in fact never been easier and with boutiques and department stores offering the likes of personal stylists, finding a piece to suit your figure is now as easy as A, B, C!

So what should we be looking into for 2011?  Well the fashion shows showcased a plunging neckline, sheer fabrics, maxi skirts, lady like glamour, lace attire, crochet and macrame, tassels, woman’s tailored tuxes, pleats, bell bottoms, swim wear and bikinis, wide legs, capri pants, tall hems with dresses appearing longer at the back, jump suits and playsuits and of course crop tops!

Confused about what to buy?  We thought you might be…sometimes choice is a good thing but other times it throws us off the mark.  You may have had a perfectly clear image in your mind of exactly what you wanted!  But when confronted with an array of other designs, fabrics and cuts, it throws us off the goal in mind!

The best thing to do is to stick to cuts and fabrics you know suit you but update these by investing in the new seasonal trends.  Add a few statement accessories in order to bring the look to life and invest in one ‘spoil yourself’ expensive piece!
