Every now and again, a film or TV series comes along that changes both the way we see fashion and the clothes we wear. I'm thinking the likes of Sex and the City, Mad Men and the perennially chic Breakfast at Tiffany's.
This year, it's all about The Great Gatsby style. It's not being released until Boxing Day, but I guarantee that you will be wearing something Gatsby-inspired in the coming months...
Embellishment, fringing, flapper dresses, beaded clutches, hairbands, art deco earrings - it's all starting to sweep the stores right about now. Glam enough for evening, but also easy to dress down (think a trophy jacket and jeans), it's a much more versatile trend than you think...
So why not get ahead of the pack and start wearing one of the hottest trends for this A/W? Your key shops are Zara, Warehouse and All Saints - go, go, go!

Glamorous Nudes
Take inspiration from Daisy Buchanan herself (or even Katy Perry!) and opt for a chic flapper dress in gold or metallic hues. If you want a slightly more modern take, why not try sequinned shorts, or an embellished tee with bleached jeans a la Zara?
