Coats & jackets.

We’ve haven’t been shy in singing the praises of the aviator fashion trend since the beginning of the year. Nor have we been anything but constant in declaring a shearling bomber jacket / aviation jacket as the key statement piece for autumn / fall 2010. So for those fashionisers yet to invest in the trend, or those looking for an additional piece for their new-season…

A look from a previous season, but the cape remains, none-the-less, on trend for Autumn / Fall 2010.

It’s precisely this sort of easy-fashion that Australian stores ought to be scared of when Zara opens in Australia. Though the shoulders aren’t precisely now, the stripes are bang on the money. Australian retailers will have to be equally as on the money to compete.

A totally natural and effortless take on the boyfriend blazer. For more street style pictures follow that link. Snapped in Paris by Vanessa Jackman.

Here’s another daily discovery from Reiss, this time from their main line. It struck me as a somewhat slick and versatile take on the boyfriend blazer trend, and I’m loving the nautical feel of the double-lapels and white buttons. You can find it here.

Here’s another shot from Tommy Ton’s series of Stevie Dance photos. This time it’s Dance’s Balenciaga leather and shearling jacket; so utterly perfect as an aviator look.

The proliferation of nudity in fashion is well documented, but for obvious reasons it’s remained largely in the domain of fashion pictorials. Miu Miu have different ideas, however. We’ve already seen Miuccia Prada’s take on a naked ladies on Keira Knightley, comes a take on it as an embellishment on the back of a blazer framed by lips.

The calendar may tell you it’s Spring 2010 already, but the weather begs to differ. So the transseasonal pieces, including the camel coat, remain popular – wear them (or invest in them) now, and you’ll still have use for them come Fall 2010. Stylist Ludivine Poiblanc gives her minimalist Celine camel coat an outing in Paris.

More trendspiration for your Fall 2010 wardrobe (yes, I know it’s sometime off – but this jacket is simply too hot not to want right now), this time focused on the evolution of the women’s military fashion trend and its fusion with aviation chic.

Taylor Tomasi is something of a street style photographer’s dream: always dressed in interesting layers and on-trend pieces, with her recognisable red hair and air of nonchalance. This time it’s a Comme Des Garcons jacket from their Fall 2009 collection – khaki green with a military feel to it; and a pair of black leather over the knee boots.
