This stylish piece of clothing looks a little inappropriate for the winter season with its cropped sleeves and pleated back, but we couldn’t have been more wrong, there are lots of accessories to team up with these jackets to keep us snuggly warm this winter. Try purchasing some gloves that reach your elbows, these will keep your forearms warm, get a pair that are plain and can be co-ordinated with anything, this way, you can wear these with an array of outfits! A big fluffy scarf is also a must have accessory, and with all the January sale’s on, there’s no reason not to treat yourself!



With this style of jacket being slightly flared, team this up with a simple pair of jeans or trousers; avoid floating skirts, as this will create a pear shaped look, Use chunky bracelets and oversized bags to accessorise and those fabulous 2 tone platform shoes to finish off the look. Don’t forget, these jackets are so versatile they can be dressed up or down, simply change you co-ordinating bags, Womens Shoes and Boots and jewellery to represent the look you want to achieve.

If you are looking for a hip and trendy way to funk up your favourite outfit (as we all have out fail safe outfits ladies!) use metallics to jazz it up, whether it is gold, pewter or silver; all 3 of these metallics will add shimmer. Incorporate these using oversized earrings, bracelets, rings, bags and shoes. Try earrings with small diamantes and bracelets with glitter. Grab a clutch bag for those all-important nights out or a fashion bag for a casual look. There are many style’s of shoes and sandals this season to look hot hot hot in! Capped platform shoes are an essential must have and look fantastic with skinny jeans or a denim skirt. Metallic sandals with front panels are also all the rage to party the night away in.

Graphic styles are very ‘in’ this season with celebrities such as Gwen Stefani and Sienna Miller wearing bold black and white striped dresses, taking the red carpet by storm. To get the full effect of this stunning outfit, team with basic black accessories such as high heeled Mary Jane court shoes . If you choose a shoe with a T-bar, this will prevent the shoe falling off and aid comfort for the heel that accompanies the style! Team this up with a simple clutch bag, keep it plain as adding moiré detail with stripes could destroy the look you are wanting……So remember, keep accessories plain if wearing the Striped dress and enjoy the party!

A winter wardrobe doesn’t have to look all dull to match the weather, add some colour and texture to your outfits using bold colours mixed with jewels and sparkle. A fuchsia cardigan with jewels trimmed around the neckline will uplift a dark outfit and add something special to these winter days. To jazz up an outfit, try beaded and

jewelled shoes and bags to create pizzazz and have the wow factor we all want when out.

There are lots of fashionable ways to keep warm this winter, cosy scarves and jackets, Ugg boots and jeans, now we no longer have reason to freeze thanks to the fashion industry and whatever your budget, there will always be something on the high street to match your pocket and your fashion taste.
