AS SUMMER draws to an end it will soon be time to say goodbye to the familiar peasant skirts, jewelled tunics and sandals. With the new season almost upon us, fashion has made a 360° turn from the bohemian trend of the summer, to next season's glamorous black. Now, although every fashion-conscious woman knows that black is never outdated, all the leading fashion houses are pushing the look as the must-have for all fun and flirty occasions for the cooler months.

No matter your figure type or height, black always looks chic and sharp. So, go ahead and have fun endorsing the classic look.
