What to Wear: Winter 2013

The cold is coming people! It's time to pack away your shorts and start layering up for winter. Most of you will be able to pull out your winter wardrobe from last year but we'll all need to inject a few key pieces in to our capsule collection to keep up with the latest trends. Here's the key trends for AW 2013...

Tartan

Seen on the catwalks of Yves Saint Laurent, Mulberry, Givenchy and Versace, tartan is back and it is THE no. 1 must have for your wardrobe. 

Red Check Print T-Shirt - New Look - £17.99

Red Check Jersey Skater - New Look - £14.99

Tartan Check Leggings - Matalan - £8.00

Purple

Violet, mulberry and mauve dominated the runway at Gucci and Elie Saab - it's the perfect colour for those cold winter months. Power to the purple!

TOP PICK

I absolutely adore this burgundy fringed jacket, it's bold textured look makes it a perfect statement piece to invest in. Wear it with skinny jeans for a glam daytime look or dress it up with a classic LBD and some statement gold jewellery. Whatever you wear it with - you'll be the centre of attention! 

Eyelash Fringe Jacket - River Island - £40.00
Burgundy Coated Jeans - New Look - £27.00

Heart Print Skater - Matalan - £14.00


Metallics

Metallics here again for winter so dig out your gold, silver and bronze outfits and go from drab to fab in an instant. The metallic trend is just so easy to wear and a great fashion buy because it come back season after season. The great thing about metallic is that it's no longer just a dress it up trend - with items like this sequin tee - daytime casual just got a little bit more glam!
Cameo Rose Gold Sequin Tee - New Look - £19.99

Silver Metallic Scuba Skirt - River Island - £28


Oversized Outerwear

So many of catwalks this year rocked amazing oversized outerwear - from Vivienne Westwood right through to Chanel and DKNY. If you want to make your own statement this winter then invest in a giganti-coat! Wear with tights or skinnies to avoid looking heavier.

Grey Coat - Zara - £89.99
Tweed Padded Parka - Matalan - £45.00


Joyce Jacket by Motel - Topshop - £55.00

The great thing about this seasons trends are that they are all really wearable for everyone. From metallic and sequin tops right through to mulberry coloured basics. There's so much to choose from - now go - wear the trends people! But don't get the Zara Coat - 'cause I want that one!
