As winter emerges it’s time to start layering up with cosy knits, scarves, gloves and hats, not to mention the important statement coat. In shops this season there is a coat to suit everyone, from blazers to trench coats, there is no excuse not to be stylish and warm at the same time. With this season’s biggest hitting trends being tweed, faux-fur, classic shapes and military, detail is key. However if you want to go for something that will see you from winter to winter go for a more classic look. Double-breasted tailored coats and belted trenches nip you in at the waist and do wonders for every figure. These coats always re-emerge in shops year after year and you will do well to invest in a good quality classic, this will leave you spare money to update with accessories such as the all important gloves and scarves. If you feel these coats are a bit too “tame” for your liking, you can always give them a modern twist by choosing one of these styles in a bright colour or even faux-fur, guaranteed to perk you up in the cold winter months.
Another winter essential is the boot. Whether they are thigh-high, ankle, flat or embellished, a good pair of boots is a necessity. The best colour to choose is black if you want something more practable, as they will look good with everything. However, if you’re feeling more adventurous animal print or studding is a must. If boots aren’t quite your thing, the shoe boot is a nice alternative. Is it a shoe? Is it a boot? Who really cares? These are a cute replacement to the classic ankle boot and go well with trousers and skirts.
Shapes and textures are also important. Suede and leather bags are perfect to carry all your essentials with you and in my opinion, the bigger the better. Tassels, chains and buckles, zips and pockets, add a stylish twist and in eye catching colours, stand out in the dreary winter cold. Leather gloves and a bright fluffy scarf finish the look, but if your feeling extra Christmassy, do not leave the house without a bobble hat- Christmas card perfection.
