1 – Wool Coat
A winter coat is essential and wool never goes out of fashion. Choose the affordable classic wool blend coat from Zara to keep you feeling warm and looking classy, whatever the weather.

Smart and sleek, the leather dress is one to watch this season. Designers like Stella McCartney, Givenchy and Hermès are flaunting their own versions, but you can pick up a sultry faux leather dress from Topshop for a fraction of the price.
3 – Oversized Knitwear
Arguably the best part of winter is the knitwear. Look for earthy colors and oversized pieces that you can layer – like this camel-colored cardi from ASOS.
4 – Animal Print Coat
If there’s one winter trend that we can’t get enough of, it’s the animal print that’s dominating the catwalks. Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga are going wild for leopard, tiger and zebra prints – stay fly and dry with this lightweight leopard print anorak from Urban Outfitters.
5 – Graphic Sweater
Bold logos and statement graphics are back in business. Get the look that Fendi and Armani are showcasing this winter with a graphic tee or sweatshirt from Uniqlo.
6 – Sequin Dress
Sparkle, sequins and glitter galore – what could be better for brightening up a gloomy winter day? The 80’s/futuristic vibe is all the rage this year – see Christian Dior, Paco Rabanne and Balmain. Dazzle with this sequin T-shirt dress from Freepeople.
7 – Fringed Jacket
Just because it’s colder doesn’t mean you can’t look fabulous. Tassels and leather add texture and energy to your winter look: channel your inner rock chick with this vintage-inspired fringed jacket from Mango.

Loved by Richard Quinn and Vetements, envelop yourself in a luxurious silk scarf – or get the cheaper and no-less beautiful alternative printed scarf from Anthropologie.
