Autumn chic - it's time to shine

Autumn has arrived and the party season is just around the corner. WomenTalk looks at some of the glamour on offer from DV8 to help you

F ANCY some tips for your autumn style fix? Look no further. Leading retailer DV8, which has stores across Northern Ireland and a shopping website at www.dv8fashion.com gives Womentalk a preview of their new collections, featuring some of the biggest trends for autumn. It's all about being chic and shining.

Sophisticated, elegant and glamorous - all words that can be used to describe these outfits from DV8's collections. Just look at the embellished fabrics, sequins, lace, leather-look finishes, all with old-style Hollywood tailoring.

It really is time to shine and dazzle with these light-reflecting show-stoppers. There's something that says 'Party!' about them but wherever you wear your pencil skirt, sequined top, bustier dress or jumpsuit you're sure to turn heads.

The colour palette is subdued with autumnal favourite mustard making an appearance alongside cream, black and dark blue. The statements are mainly made by the fabric textures themselves, and their reflective surfaces.

Even shoes get the shiny treatment - get yourself a pair of opalescent or metallic heels and you'll be right on trend.

Guys go smart this season too - in blazers, dressy shirts and ties, teamed with dark jeans and brogues.
