The coat is the star of style for winter. There are two major themes in coats- volume & miltary inspired.
Volume- think 60's chic. Cocoon and trapeze coats in strong colours with great big buttons and big collars. Funnel collars add flair for the highest fashion look.Take care with the volume as your figure may well be lost in the excess material which can be very unflattering.
Military-The Military inspired coats provide a leaner more shapely look that gives strength and elegance. Military colours including navy, khaki, olive and charcoal are favorites. Embelishment can be seen in brass buttons, epaulets and intricate stitching- think The Beatles' Sargeant Pepper look.

The shine comes from all the metallics this season. It's not just accesories but a part of clothing too- whether it's silky tops in silver, silver Coats or metallic tights- you can't go without a bit of shine this season. Accessories are an easy addition and range from shoes and bags to massive bangles and bold necklaces- have fun and remember big is better.
The sheen relates to all the patent leather that has been incorporate into shoes, bags and even colourful jackets. There are 2 price points for the patent look- the real deal which is leather and the pvc replicas. When you're buying shoes I suggest you stick with the leather but for fun accesories choose what suits your budget and make it colorful!
The Sparkle relates to all the crystal embellishement on tops, dresses, shoes, bags-you name it!Wea as much or as little as you like

Whether it's jumpers, sweater coats, dresses or cardigans the knits this season are very textured. The wool is thicker and the needles are larger to create bold textures and designs. Take care not to get lost in your favorite jumper as it leaves you wihtout any body shape.
