Trending: buttoning up

Whether it's your dress, blouse, jacket or coat, just make sure it's buttoned right to the top.

Whether it's your blouses, dresses or jackets, buttoning right to the top will keep you on top of a trend which was seen all over the autumn/winter 2011 catwalks, like this silk green blouse at Chloe.

 Givenchy's autumn/winter 2011 collection was littered with collars either in loud prints or made from black patent leather.

 Long an advocate of the buttoned up collar, Alexa Chung's granny-chic styling is often topped off with one, and this Miu Miu silk dress is no exception.

 Cacharel's floral collection was a lesson in how to do sweet geek chic, with buttoned up collars topping off mini-dresses and skirts.

 Chloe Sevigny buttons up a crisp white shirt.

 Much like the Suno dresses, Elizabeth Olsen accessorises her white blouse with not one, but two statement necklaces.

 Fearne Cotton's loose printed shirt and tailored shorts lend themselves perfectly to her tomboyish style.

 Bright printed blouses buttoned up to the can be paired with high-waisted pencil midi-skirts for a sleek but still sexy silhouette, like at Jonathan Saunders autumn/winter 2011.

 When Kate Bosworth stepped out in L.A last week it wasn't just the blue dip-dyed hair that caught our eyes, but the buttoned-up blouse she was wearing beneath.

 Suno's ankle length silk dresses have an air of 'granny chic' about them as well; each buttoned up collar is topped off with a statement necklace for added allure.
