Autumn Trend '09: Structure On The High-Street

19 May 2009

Yes, we know we're only just heading into summer but it never hurts to be prepared does it- especially since we're in the midst of a recession.

Our thinking is buy now and wear later, so not only will you be one step ahead of the fashion pack, but you'll also save yourself some cash too. Genius.

Some of the looks are set to carry on into autumn, which is great news if you've just had a splurge on anything sparkly, structured or native, as these will still be big news come winter.

We already showed you how turquoise is taking off in the celeb world, after we forecasted it as a colour to watch back in February, so it will only be a matter of time before it hits the high-street.

Today we're looking at structure on the high-street, after the likes of Zac Posen, Nathan Jenden and Twenty8Twelve debuted the power woman look on their runways for next season.

Zac went for exaggerated shoulders in New York, Nathan kept his style clean and crisp in London, while Sienna Miller let the collection do the talking with simple, yet elegant tailoring.

Structure has been a big part of the collections for the past two seasons, and arguably this is down to Balmain's amazing range, who have given shoulderpads a whole new function.

They've become fashionable, trendy and wearable, with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Beyonce and even Michael Jackson all getting down with Balmainia!

So, here's some of our fave structured pieces out on the high-street right now...
