Fashion we love for winter 2013: isme - Allaboutyou (blog)

It’s November – and as Christmas parties start here, these two ‘dressed up’ options from isme’s autumn winter collection caught our eye this week.

Ditch the oh-so-predictable LBD for a sharp tuxedo-style outfit this year. The chic black jacket is nipped in at the waist to create a very flattering silhouette, and petite figures will be able to carry off slim cigarette pants. Or you could opt for tailored black trousers to lengthen the legs. Though you might want to give the Madonna-esque ‘80s-style shades a miss for the office do! Savoir pu trim jacket £45, Capri cigarette pants £25 – browse the full collection here^[1] .

And for a winter wedding, formal daytime dinner or any dressed up occasion at this time of year, the embellished dress and coat is a very modern take on a traditional favourite. The empire cut skims forgivingly over the waist and creates a slimming line across tummy and hips – so you don’t need to worry about how much you indulge at the party! Add a pretty fascinator for a wedding, or sweep hair up for a glamorous dinner. Berkertex cream beige embellished dress & coat £120

For party dresses that will take you from day to evening, we love both of these figure-flattering options - just add heels and a few pieces of jewellery. Clever details like side ruching and print panels create a slimming silhouette – the panels draw the eye in, while the ruching is a great way to hide a multitude of sins. Savoir side ruched dress £29, Confident curves animal print dress £39

Every woman should have a trench coat in her wardrobe, and the snappy edging on isme’s latest design gives it a truly contemporary twist. It’s a funky spin on a design classic, tie your belt in a casual knot – a la the stylish model in the picture – for a touch of true insouciance. Savoir stone contrast piped mac £45
