Capes and Coats: the cape is a great alternative to the coat and this season there is a great range.
A cape makes for a great cover up as does a good coat, well worth the investment for day and evening wear.
Blazers, with structure are still big for that classy take you anywhere, look.
Pop a blazer over your faithful little black dress, or team with a tailored trouser, to achieve a classy polished look.
Spots, think "kitty" (but be careful about the real thing!), have come back hugely for that edgy glamour-puss look.
Dresses, tights, trousers, coats, scarves, hats/headbands, any piece of apparel you desire can be got in these purr prints.
Leather is huge this winter – leather shorts, dresses and tights.
Knitwear: Chunky homemade style knitwear is big as cardigans or coats but keep them structured in shape.
Don’t be shy, think feminine and sexy and add ruffles and bows to pretty blouses and add broches, pearls and lockets as well.
Belts
wide or slim are an excellent accessory to hold in your wardrobe to add punch to your overall look.
Leggings should still be included in your winter wardrobe to change or add edge to your look. Plain black are a good staple but there are several different styles, lace etc for this season to add glam.
Hats are a great "to top it off" look, from berets and beanies to club style felt hats or try detailed headbands or turbans for a point of difference.
Shoes such as Mary-Janes are still hot, but hotter are ankle peep-toe boots, these can take you through the day and into the night.
Your versatile knee high boot is still a reliable and much needed addition to your wardrobe and smart look for winter.
