The three best women's fashion spots

It’s been a big year for women’s fashion. We’ve gone back in time, oohing and aahing at the plush but completely impractical period styles seen in The Duchess and The Other Boleyn Girl. We’ve inched into the 20th Century with vintage fashions from The Edge of Love and Brideshead Revisited and embraced the cutting-edge contemporary clothes as worn in The House Bunny and High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The fashions have taken us through the seasons and to all corners of the globe from the sing-a-long sunshine of a Greek island in Mamma Mia! to the urban Manhattan chic of Meg Ryan and co. in The Women. And talking of Manhattan, there was also some other little fashion film about four women there that you might have heard of called Sex and the City. So before we make space in our wardrobes anticipating the great onscreen styles that 2009 promises with the likes of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Bride Wars, we’re taking a look back at 2008 and picking our top three women’s fashion spots. Trust us, it’s not been easy.

Best Womens' Fashion

Stefano Pilati took some of the iconic elements of Yves Saint Laurent and came up with something new. Felted wool and cashmere, micro Donegal tweeds (which appeared grey but were actually peppered with colour) and sculptural silks were often combined on one garment, accentuating the cut and shape. The classic Zouave pant was also given new life.

Take a no-fuss approach to make the most of scarves

The scarf — and finding a chic way to wear it — is emblematic of French fashion. It’s a major style statement, yet great care is taken to make it appear that wearing a scarf is effortless, a last-minute addition.

American women tend to be more fearful of scarves and fuss over them. That’s their first mistake, says Robin Adelman, director of the main floor at Hermes’ Madison Avenue store in Manhattan.

She offers simple directions, beginning with the French-style fold:

Using a square scarf, lay it out flat, then bring two opposite corners to the center, creating two triangles on the surface. Fold each triangle in half, then in half again at the center line, essentially folding the scarf into one-eighth of its original width.

There should be a sharp point at each end.

From there, you can tie around the neck in a slip knot around your finger, wrap it around the neck and tie the points in the back for a turtleneck effect, use it to line the edge of a V-neck top, or use it as a belt around the waist.

“There is no ‘do’ and ‘don’t’ for knots,” says Adelman. “You might make a great knot one day and never be able to repeat it, but enjoy it for that day

“Simplest is often the way to go.”

Americans tend to fold their scarves into a triangle at the offset, then place the triangle point facing downward on the back and tie a simple knot in the front — and there’s nothing wrong with wearing it that way, Adelman says. That same fold also works as a kerchief around the head a la Grace Kelly, she notes.

There are so many ways to wear scarves, including skirts (using at least two), tops and bolero-style jackets, Adelman says, that you can get away with wearing the same outfit much more often and no one will be the wiser.
