Do It Like A Dude

Flicking through the latest issue off any fashion weekly, you will see a cluster of fabulous dresses draped over stunning females. Cheyl, Tulisa and Rhianna all have a closet full of the latest edgy catwalk creations but its time for them to take of their fashion crown and hand it over to our new style crush: Labrinth.

The 23 year old London singer might be a male, but with get ups like these it would be a crime again fashion ignore his efforts. The talented star has already been recognised for his style and featured in GQs 100 best dressed list at 41. Lab is a serial colour blocker and is frequently seen rocking fashion forward bright trousers with clashing shirts. In a recent photo shoot, the singer wore a canary yellow shirt with a pair of  bold green jeans! House of Fraser have a feminine version of his shirt with capped sleeves. 

Earlier this year, at Wireless festival, Lab wore a denim shirt with a leopard print  pocket and cuffs. The clashing material and pattern caught our eye - and heart! To copy his style, Rokit have produced a similar design for only £25! The long sleeves and high collar means it will be cosy in the winter as well as eye catching! Who said winter fashion had to be dark and boring?

To truly evoke Labs style and make him proud - add a bow tie to your shirt. And of course a pair of his signature thick rimmed specs!

Purple Perfection

Autumn nights are creeping in. The evening sky is no longer a pallet of burnt orange, crimson and glorious baby blue - instead it's layered in tones of deep purple and musky blue. The same can be said for our A/W wardrobe. Gothic shades embellished the catwalks with the colour purple standing out the most. Forget about winter clothing being 50 shades of grey - It's all about 50 shades of purple (Hah!).


House of Fraser do a pretty lilac dress in a classic shape - fit for a Disney princess! If you want to up the sex appeal - Lipsy has designed a smouldering mini - dress which has vixen written all over it. Wear it to the office with dark tights, a leather jacket and a pair of wedged ankle boots and as soon as the clock strikes 5 - take the tights and jacket off for a fresh evening look. This dress will be sure to get the attention of the hunky bar man you've had your eye on!
