107.6 Banbury Sound

Effortless style is in the jeans -literally. An absolute must for any woman's wardrobe, denim is the one-stop style solution that's always trending, whether its something to throw on in a rush trying to get the kids to school in Banburyshire or jazzed up denim with a stylish top and funky jacket/blazer.

 For autumn, the experts tell me it's all about retro glamour, with designers looking to the 70s for inspiration. And I must add, I got a little scared when I read this as I went through a 70's look whilst at college!

I have seen plush cord flares and precious jewel colours high on the agenda, mmm, (think of the shade, not vino)   merlot, slick skinnies. If you want your jeans to pack extra punch,  whimsical floral prints and snakeskin patterns are big news too and look especially striking when paired with wedges and high-shine accessories come cocktail hour at Wonderlounge with your favourite girlie friends.

Every woman needs a pair of perfectly fitting indigo flares in her wardrobe. Whether you embrace preppy 70s style with mid-risers or retro rockstar cool in low-slung fit-and-flares, this iconic jean is now as much of an essential as its skinny equivalent, flares look fab with shirts and platform heels. Honestly, you will love me once you've been shopping and you're looking fab in front of the mirror at home.

Coloured denim is still hot for autumn, but this season, designers have swapped pop brights for deep red wine hues. Opt for spray-on skinnies in maroon, burgundy or plum. Compliment with a crisp white shirt and leopard print clutch for the ultimate in easy chic. You'll be sure to turn heads along Parsons Street.

Skinny Jean loyalists will love autumn's bold prints. Mix patterns for the strongest statement - try denim floral trousers (go on, you can do it) with a polka dot blouse. Or, why not go tonal with a neutral blouse and jeans in the print of the season, ssssssssssnake!

Make your new season style a hit with flares cut in velvet and corduroy. A 70s palette is key this season, so in the flavour of Halloween, pumpkin cords with a fine mustard sweater.

If you want to go back in time and bring your stonewashed jeans back then making this statement will surely peel back the years. Stonewashed jeans were all the rage in the 60's and 80's, remember when we used to take perfectly good jeans and sneak upstairs with mothers bleach and deface the jeans to give a bleached mottled effect ?(obviously this is not recommended!) You can now get this latest fashion fix from the high street.
