Feature Prints

Feature Prints Choose a feature print to be the focal point of your outfit. Oversized polka dots, large boatanic prints, and Baroque-style patterns are all good starting points. Make sure the prints are oversized and in-your-face. Go all out in a bold printed dress, or stick to separates if you’re after something a little less brash.

Androgyny

Women’s wardrobes are set to get a whole lot more masculine this winter. You could work a sleek, corporate look in tailored trousers and boxy jackets or go for a more casual approach in a pair of boyfriend jeans and slouchy sweaters. Complete the look with a pair of brogue shoes.

Forties Glamour

Forties Glamour This look is all about dressing with the finer details in mind – think felt hats, faux fur shrugs, pearls, and elbow length gloves. Keep your silhouette streamlined in pencil skirts or well tailored wide-legged pants. For inspiration, look to the winter 2011-12 collections of designers such as Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Miu Miu.

Headline Hues

Headline Hues Make a statement this winter by wearing bold colours. A block colour worn head-to-toe is an increasingly popular choice. This winter choose bright reds, electric blues, and burnt oranges.

Mix’n’Match

Mix’n’Match This fashion trend is all about excess. Mix your faux fur, sequins, leather, and lace to create a textural bonanza. This trend requires a keen eye to create the perfect balance of textures, otherwise you might come across as having gotten dressed in the dark.

Longer Lengths

Longer lengths dresses and skirts are still going strong. Take the midi skirt to the next level and drop your winter hems all the way to the floor. Thigh-high splits are also an on-trend addition for streamlined column skirts.

Checks, Please

Wear checks this winter as a nod to the grunge revival. Checks are an ideal choice for those not sold on tartan and plaid. Keep the colours fresh and the garments streamlined. A check coat is an easy way to wear the trend this winter.
