Ladies, it's time to straighten up your act

Posted Nov 30, 2009

We all may have bohemian dreams, but let's face it we'd all be bored after a few weeks in a cottage. Instead it's time to embrace the big city and all it's advantages - including the opportunity to showcase some of the world's finest tailoring. Straighten up and click on the Swide edit as we reveal how to wear the new tailoring and why slippers should never remain at home.

If sequins and skirts are boring you - opt for a sharper edge for Christmas and the new year with a sharp suit from Dolce & Gabbana's spring/summer 2010 collection.

These impeccably cut suits ensure you'll standout in a sea of little black dresses for all the right reasons.

If you're concerned about looking like you've just left the office - then think again as these tailored pieces offer a sexy subtlety. Rich silk trousers, form-hugging waistcoats and lace offer a new twist on Dolce & Gabbana's unique sartorial tradition.

Cheeky designs such as the backless shirt above and lace lingerie worn underneath a tailored jacket are the perfect flirty additions to this tailored collection.

The traditional three-piece suit takes its inspiration from South-America's Latin heritage - Jackets are fitted at the waist and can be worn with or without a waistcoat.

If the thought of heels exhausts you - then Dolce & Gabbana's velvet slippers are the chic alternative to aching feet. A bright red pair will ensure you have the perfect quirky accessory for an evening's dancing.

Trousers are cut perfectly to highlight the waist - paired with a short white shirt you can create your own homage to Helmut Newton.
