Fashion trend report: What to ditch and what to keep for the new season

Showing you which summer trends are out and what they are being replaced with from the autumn/winter 2011 collections.


OUT : Ballet, as seen at Chloe spring/summer 2011.
IN : Fetish, as seen at Alexander McQueen, Mark Fast and Louis Vuitton autumn/winter 2011.
Hard edged latex and leather have replaced the soft, flowing sheer fabrics seen at the spring/summer collections.

OUT : Colour brights, as seen at Jil Sander spring/summer 2011.
IN: Jewel colours, as seen at Haider Ackermann, Bottega Veneta and Ralph Lauren autumn/winter 2011.
Put away your paintbox brights. Colour blocking takes a more grown up path for autumn/winter with deeper, more muted tones.

OUT: '70s as seen at Marc Jacobs spring/summer 2011.
IN: '40s as seen at Sportmax, Miu Miu and Donna Karan autumn/winter 2011.
Disco fever in pyschedelic colours dominated the spring/summer catwalks. For the winter months 1940's style lady-like dresses are à la mode.


OUT : Orange, as seen at Calvin Klein spring/summer 2011.
IN: Red, as seen at Antonio Berardi, Roksanda Ilincic and Burberry autumn/winter 2011.
Vibrant orange has been outed by a far more approachable red - wear yours in any hue; from postbox to burgundy.

OUT: Oriental prints, as seen at John Galliano spring/summer 2011.
IN: Patchwork, as seen at Etro, Mary Katrantzou and Dries van Noten autumn/winter 2011.
The elegant Far Eastern feel of spring/summer's prints has been replaced with home-made effect of patchwork prints.

OUT: Oversize menswear, as seen at Dries van Noten spring/summer 2011.
IN : Streamlined androgyny, as seen at Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana autumn/winter 2011.
Gone the slouchy loose-fitting masculine tailoring from summer replace by a more slimline, fitted, approach to men's tailoring for the fall collections.

OUT: Pleats, as seen at Nicole Farhi spring/summer 2011.
IN: Pailletes, as seen at Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and Prada autumn/winter 2011.
Pailettes were the adornment of choice for many designers this year leaving very little room for other fine details such as pleating.


OUT: Stripes, as seen at Prada spring/summer 2011.
IN: Spots, as seen at Lanvin, Diane von Furstenburg and Marc Jacobs autumn/winter 2011.
A huge number of the autumn/winter collections chose the playful polka dot, leaving the stripe behind in the summer months.

OUT : Trench coats, as seen at Burberry spring/summer 2011.
IN: Cocoon coats, as seen at Yves Saint Laurent, Jil Sander and Loewe autumn/winter 2011.
The classic trench gets the boot, replaced by this season's model: the 'cocoon' coat with structured sleeves and a voluminous sillhouette.
