In the coming Autumn and Winter, the style of the men's tailored trousers and the causal walking shorts will be inspirated from the Wimbledon's tennis white short. The designers will use the ivory and white color to be the main colorways. For the women's tailoring suits, wool and tweed will be the first choice on the fabrication. These two kinds of fabrics are really good for making women's suit, especially for the pencil skirts. In the coming seasons, the smoky tone and the charcoal greys will be the main colors on women's suits. Besides, lace will be a very popular materials in this season. The most important reason is the great brand, Prada, has produced many blouses and skirts by a series of heavily encrusted lace. This is a big surprise for the market and it will be a new trend for the other producers.

For partywears, hot purple and lilac have been greatly used to bring the African mood. The designers use those colorways on their prints and block-colour patterns. Besides the block-colour patterns, ombre colors has also been intergrated into some products of Banana Republic and the psychedelic print patterns into the products of Pucci. For the styles, ties on the shoulders or on the waist help to create more fashionable details. These details can also help embroider dresses with unbalanced shapes. Anyway, lace is still a famous material on the partywears as usual.
