This trend takes it's inspiration from the 50's & 60's fashion era where women dressed very neat, tidy and well ... ladylike. And we can thank the popular show Mad Men for this fashion influence.
Do you watch Mad Men? I watched it recently to see what all they hype was about. I think I like the sets and the fashion more than the show if I'm honest. Regardless of my viewing taste, it is fantastic to see normal sized and sexy women on television (especially Christina Hendricks).
To draw inspiration for this ladylike trend, you can go no further than some old sewing patterns from the early 60's.
If you sew, Vogue have some great vintage patterns that will be fun to make and get you right in amongst this trend. If not, then watch the stores which will be brimming with options very soon.
You can choose to take this trend literally, or as I like to, spin it with your own personal style. Either way, we are in for a well dressed autumn.
If you are a fan of Mad Men, you may like to make a 60's avatar of yourself like I did here.
