Glam up your autumn wardrobe

Print bottoms
Put the drab solids into storage - this fall is all about loud prints. Wear skinnies or leggings with a longer sweater or tunic. Mix a print skirt with a matching top for a dress effect, and pair with a solid top for another look altogether. Add a coloured belt for added glamour.

Leather

Biker chic is here to stay. Don't be afraid to wear this look to the office - leather pencil skirts are perfectly ladylike paired with belted sweaters. For a touchable look, pair your leather leggings, skinnies and jackets with knits or lace.

Jewel tones

Remember to choose a tone that compliments your colouring - softer blues for fair skin, intense blue for darker coloring. Teal looks great on most skin tones.

Black and white

Always a recurring fashion favourite. Keep this tip in mind - black disguises, white is an attention grabber. Use this to draw the eye to your best assets.

Knee length skirts

Skirts and dresses come in a variety of styles for you to choose from. Fold that mini away for next summer and have your maxi skirt altered to add a bit of glamour to the corporate look.

Pink

The fountain of youth - pink is in. The best news is all skin tones look ravishing in hot pink.

Work dresses

Spice up your professional image with a splash of 2010 to the classic knee-length dress. Go for a cowl neck, a wide-belted waist, a raw-edge trim or bold colour.

Waistcoats

Layering. Layering. Layering. The secret of all glam fashionistas. From slimming solids to faux fur, waistcoats will amp up an oh-so-yawn outfit with a pop of colour or texture.

Metallics

Metallics are the new bling. Get rid of those screaming accessories and get the same eye-catching effect from a draped silver or gold dress. Accessories are minimalistic this season so use fabric to sparkle instead.

Cozy chic

There's nothing like being bundled up on the sofa on a chilly evening, and now the runways are allowing you to take the comfort outside. To chic up the blanket look, go monochromatic in touchable fabrics such as cashmere.

If you find yourself staring into the wardrobe with ‘nothing to wear', the easiest way to give an old outfit a glamorous twist is to make sure you always have a Sarita in hand. The metallic jewel tones of Ruby Red and Select will say ‘glam' no matter what the season. Sarita is your year-round fashion accessory.
