Get spotted this autumn (fall)

With the autumal weather coming maybe you are thinking of putting away your shorts and sandals and going to jeans or long winter dresses. Don't do it. Tights can extend the life of your shorts. You can even ware your sandals (although not flip flops) with tights. If this is too radical substitute your sandals for closed toe shoes, chunky platforms or boots/booties. You might like to try longer shorts or shorts made out of a thicker material.

Patterned tights are supposed to be in and these look good with shorts - or even without them. "Shorts offer the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the trend in patterned tights - stripes, burn outs, and textured tights all add a new dimension to legs as you transition into fall dressing," says Jennifer Bayley. (Who apparently knows about these things).

 "Animal prints and especially leopard motifs are very strong fall trends that you can start wearing right now." says Jillian Zrihen, a spokesperson for Foxy Jeans. So go for those leopard print tights now.

Other predicted trends (of less concern here since this is a legwear blog) include:
  • Tops and accessories in fall colours such as red, violet, wine, grey, orange and green.
  • Lace, floral and sheer blouses and dresses.
  • The cocoon sweater is the ultimate layering piece.
