Baroque Brigade


The A/W catwalks have taken inspiration from the great queens of the 17th century. The baroque trend first exploded on the runway at Alexander Mcqueen and Balmain and not it's taking over the high street too.Think Downton Abbey but with plenty of swagger.

Dorothy Perkins have interpreted the style in a muted fashion and have given it a Gothic edge. This is the perfect collection if you prefer to keep your winter months dark and stylish.

Some stunning baroque finds can be found in the Topshop sale. The stunning hot pants featured below have a summery vibe due to the blue palate - wear on your holidays and flaunt your tanned legs in the last summer months. When the Autumn evenings draw in - team the shorts with black opaques and some black wedge ankle boots. Celebrities such as Rhianna and Holly Willoughby have been seen rocking the vintage inspired baroque sequinned dress below. This dress flatters all figures as the black background and skin tight design of the dress gives the illusion of a silhouette even Victoria Beckham would be proud of. The Topshop garment which has caused the stunning garment to sell out. The dress can still be found on Ebay with prices starting at £45.99 - not bad for a dress found in the wardrobes of TVs finest!
