Why we'll be paying lip service to pies and celebrating the fact that 60 is sexy

If military style has gone in and out of fashion for years, then 2011 is definitely an "in" year with racks of combat inspired garb coming to a high street near you soon. In the next 12 months, the trend will cross men and women's ranges and will be seen from high end collections to more affordable retailers. Marc Jacobs has already put a military stamp on his designs for next year, Valentino's range for Gap shows a similar influence which will also penetrate through to the mass market of stores like Top Shop and Primark will surely not be far behind. However, there is a twist, next year, severe military pieces will be mixed with more feminine separates to soften the effect, but the clean lines will be a dominant theme of season.

Beauty

On the runways this autumn designers played with combinations of looks, but the ones we will keep coming back to involve the beautiful red lips of yesteryear. In 2011, the rest of the face can be completely nude, but in a new departure on a tried and tested classic, next year bright red lips will also be paired with strong eye make-up. If neither of those combinations appeal, in spring face colour will come in the form of bronzed beauties and metallic shades will also make a reappearance. Next year we will still inevitably be trying to replicate the celebrity looks from the red carpet, but increasingly we'll move away from the luxury end of the market to high street products which come at a fraction of the price.
