Black, white and red is always a winner.

Try mixing and matching textures like patent leather and a fluffy knit.

All-white is the way to look rich throughout winter.

Don't ever overlook the power of a well-cut camel coat.

If you're in a knitted dress, you could even risk going for bare legs.

Sherpa jackets are a surprisingly good layering tool in subzero weather.

Scarves so big you can wrap yourself up in them are trending.

An artfully knotted scarf impresses us every time.

Make a statement in a super-furry coat.

White boots and vinyl finishes can really brighten up a simple combination.

When you're summer vibe is boho, winter can be tricky, but just layer and accessorise and you'll feel right.

If you don't like long-line coats, a very snuggly shearling jacket is a top replacement.

Chunky boots like Dr Martens are back, so make the most of them.

Forget the clash rules when it's cold—just try to hold onto a colour palette.

White jeans have been a popular new choice for fashion girls in winter.
