Actress Marion Cotillard has long been channelling the 50s’ starlet look with beautifully set waves on the red carpet and this is probably one of the easiest vintage styles to do yourself, all you need is some ghd fat hair lotion to give you volume and curlers for the wave.  Or if you fancy a stylish up do then opt for a neat chignons ala Natalie Portman, all you need to do for this is blow-dry hair with mousse, scrunching it to add texture and pull into a ponytail. Once the pony is secured (the sides should be in tight and the top still slightly loose) gently tease out the top, then split the pony tail in and loosely twist one half over the other, keep twisting and your hair will automatically pull in towards your head creating a bun and secure it with Kirby grips.

The basics all men should have in their wardrobe include:

T-shirts
Shirts
Polo shirts
Vest tops
Jeans
Trousers
Shorts
Light weight jacket
Winter coat
Suit
Shoes
Boots
Trainers
Flip flops
Belts
A hat

For t-shirts, polo shirts, shirts and vests you only need a couple of these in different shades so they can easily be mixed and match, then other more trendy styles can be added if you want, a couple of pairs of straight cut jeans in dark denim are also a necessity as darker denim goes with more. You can also opt to add some funky pairs of designer jeans. Trousers and shorts are also good if you want a change from jeans, good tailored pairs will last you a lot longer and don’t go out of style and every guy need a suit in his wardrobe, a simple black one will suffice, you will never know when you may need one, and a classic cut will mean it will not go out of style.

The look is very popular with those who attend music festivals and some of the staple clothing items which make up the look include floaty, gypsy style skirts, tunic baggy cardigans and hippy style bags.  The look is reminiscent of some Indian and Nepalese styles and does not have to cost the Earth, as there is no reliance on designer labels. 

One of the reasons that the look is so popular is that it is very easy for the wearer to put together themselves.  Those who do not have much money can search charity shops for suitable items and it does not involve hours on the high street trying to find items that go well together. 

It is also popular as it is a comfortable style and you can tailor the look to suit yourself.  If you are not comfortable in the floaty skirts then faded jeans will work well.  The baggy cardigans can be replaced with cropped jackets; you can experiment with different combinations until you find a look you like.

Simple accessories could include a plain band ring such as a wedding ring, a simple pendant necklace and a belt with a small, understated buckle. If meeting with clients or higher management occurs often in the workplace, wearing larger jewellery items can be distracting and appear unprofessional. Accessories should complement clothing items; this means colours that do not clash, as again this can be thought of as distracting and even disorganised.

For a more laid back office where clients rarely visit then larger items of jewellery are acceptable. They help to complete the outfit in a fun and funky way. Hair accessories are also acceptable in a less formal office, and these can include hair clips with flower adornments, which are fast becoming one of the latest fashion statements.

The key to creating the perfect look using accessories is to not be too elaborate. One chunky necklace is often all that is needed to look just right; sometimes adding matching earrings and bracelets can make the jewellery look over done.

Women who wear suits have several choices, the most obvious being skirt suits or trouser suits. But now there is also the option of the three-piece suit. Just like in men’s wear, the three piece suit consists of a jacket, trousers (or skirt if required) and a waistcoat. It gives an added air of authority to the wearer, and has a very classic look. Men are usually more straightforward, wearing a suit at all times, complete with tie.

Some offices allow a slightly less formal dress code for their staff, and some even have a ‘dress down’ day – usually a Friday – on which the staff can wear whatever clothes they wish. For offices that are less formal, a mixture of suits and separates will be fine. On these occasions smart trousers and skirts can be teamed with less formal blouses and shirts, and men may be allowed to leave the tie at home.

Casual offices, such as call centre environments where the office staff only speak to customers via the telephone, will often allow staff to wear whatever they like as long as they are clean and tidy. Some employers may even state that jeans are acceptable.

Perfect fit jeans will fit on the hip as well as the waist.  They also need to be the right leg length.  Those who are shorter in height will need to find a shorter length in the leg.  Those who are petite will find that standard leg lengths will drag on the floor and swamp the look.

Skinny jeans are very popular at the moment with not only women but men also but do not suit everyone.  They are ideal for those who are slim, but they can also emphasize if you are too slim.  Women who are of a heavier build should avoid them too, as well as styles that are too low rise.  High waisted styles are not always fashionable but they are much more comfortable for those who do not have a slim figure. Men have it easier with less styles to choose from, however straight cut jeans generally suit most men, especial worn with plain t-shirts and shirts.

It is important to try on several pairs before you choose one to buy, and not just in the same shop.  Clothes shops offer them in every shape and size and you may be surprised if you try on styles that you would not normally consider. 

The main issue is for petite women.  Unless you buy a maxi dress from a petite range you will find that most on the market are too long and can leave you looking swamped.  There are some high street stores that have a petite range of clothing, however, and finding the right length dress should not be too difficult there. 

The main differences in the dresses tend to be in the neckline.  The halter neck is a popular style choice, particularly with celebrities.  These are perfect for holidays and those warmer days at home.  The dresses are also available with spaghetti straps and with short sleeves. 

The similarity that the dresses have is the full skirt.  These are often a ‘gypsy’ style and are perfect for those with fuller hips and thighs as they hide a multitude of sins.  Buying a maxi dress is also the perfect opportunity to add a little colour to your wardrobe.  The bright colours and patterns of maxi dresses mean that you will be noticed wherever you go. 

A maxi dress is also a value for money item, as the trend looks set to continue for the next few years.

Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Chanel in 1883 and started her career in cabaret. She then went on to design hats as something to do to pass her spare time, and found that she enjoyed the process immensely. Her life’s work grew from there.

Chanel’s work was extremely popular; she is credited with creating the ‘little black dress’ which is still popular today. Her clothing lines were simple although elegant, and gave the wearer a feeling of class. The clothes were timeless, and many of the original designs are still being worn today.

Today the label includes many perfumes, the most famous of which is the Chanel No.5. Coco Chanel’s ‘Mademoiselle’ was a top selling fragrance for several years running after its release and remains popular still. In the range of accessories, Chanel handbags are a much sought after item by both celebrities and members of the public, some selling for thousands of pounds each.

With boutiques worldwide, the label has gone from strength to strength. Even with the introduction of newer, fresher design labels such as Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney, the simple elegance of the Chanel range remains timelessly classic.
