A nice headwear

Ladies who love an elegant and classy look will enjoy the new trend of wearing fedora hats. Not only are these hats warm but they are a great accessory to complete the outfit with.

On the other hand, beanies are as popular as ever for anyone who values casual style above all else, and the options color and pattern wise are numerous.

Leather jacket

Its majesty – the leather jacket – will always be a timeless piece. It’s a perfect garment for autumn and milder winter. There are many new twists to the classic leather jacket and it’s important to pick one that matches your style and personality the best, but also the one that would flatter your body type beautifully. Black leather jackets are always in style, but in recent years, brown, burnt orange, red and even white leather have become very popular.

Sweater season

Let’s forget about ugly Christmas sweaters because the sweater season can actually provide you with many options on how to enrich your wardrobe. In recent years sweaters have become really popular which resulted in their great diversity regarding the cuts, design and style. Sweaters are really great pieces for layering your clothes and creating a very unique outfit that will keep you warm.

Jumper dress

Jumper dress is, without a doubt, a perfect addition to your winter essentials. Its biggest advantage is the fact that it can be versatile and great for both casual and more formal occasions. There are many types of jumper dresses available and you can get yourself one that suits your style the best. Thinner or thicker wool, different patterns, knee or ankle length as well as various colors are some of the characteristics that can make such a dress really stand out in a positive way and make you feel fashionable and warm at the same time.

Interesting scarves

Nothing says winter like a nice, interesting scarf. There are just so many options on the market, from infinity and blanket scarves to those that are really long and intricate in design and pattern. If you want to spice up your outfits in the most unique way possible, making your own scarf using some good quality yarn will definitely add a final personal touch to your look while carefully designed yarn bowls will make the whole process easier. The best thing about this project is the fact that making a scarf can be very relaxing and there are many techniques explained online, some of which show using only your fingers for the whole process.

A fitted coat

Apart from leather jacket, a good coat is also something that your wardrobe needs in order to be fully completed for winter time. Again, pay attention to your body type as well as your own preferences when choosing a coat. When it comes to outerwear you should always be prepared to invest a little bit more money because these garments will serve you for many seasons to come. Moreover, opting for a classic cut will definitely prove to be a fashionable move worth the investment.

Comfortable shoes

Ankle shoes and knee-high boots are your most obvious choice for colder periods during the year. Nowadays, shoes and boots are an accessory on their own and they come with many interesting details as well as shapes and patterns. If you want to get yourself a pair of shoes or boots that will match most of your outfits it would be wise to opt for a classic style in black or brown, but those who like to rock outfits that are more unique and edgy will definitely find many options in the stores as well. The important thing is that the shoes are comfortable to walk in and that they are water resistant.

When it comes to fashion, winter is another great season to show off your stylishness. For the best possible look and additional warmth make sure to include some basic pieces in your wardrobe essentials so that you can layer and create different looks easily.

Winter Accessories and Spring Outfits

Spring is a great excuse to fill your wardrobe with all the best of this season’s latest trends. However, buying new clothes as well as accessories can get pricey, so why not simply recycle pieces from last season? By not purchasing your whole new wardrobe from current collections and instead mixing and matching your look, you will be showing off a unique sense of style. So, we’ve taken our pick of some of the most popular accessories from the winter, and provided tips on how to add these to spring wardrobe staples.

Leather

Leather was huge last autumn/winter and luckily it can be used to form unique outfits this season. Leather shouldn’t dominate a spring outfit, so instead use smaller pieces and add to new spring wear. A pair of leather leggings is a fab way to add edge to a girly frock. Black leather leggings combined with huishan zhang 2013 spring/summer range pieces exemplifies this contrast. The range features dresses in floral prints which epitomize spring, made from lightweight fabrics like silk and lace. For an evening out, team one of these gorgeous dresses with leather leggings for rocking style!

Gold

When going for a night on the town during the winter, gold has long been the go-to tone for accessories. Gold chunky necklaces, bracelets, earrings and clutch bags add instant glamour to an outfit and make a classic LBD look ultra-chic. You needn’t hide away your gold accessories until next winter though, as they can be worked into a spring outfit with dramatic effect. Rather than teaming with black, go for a white colour palette for your outfit for a more seasonal-appropriate take on the gold trend. Not just for an evening out, a chunky gold necklace can be teamed with a white sundress to create a boho chic look. Keep things low-key by choosing a dress made from a natural, simple fabric like cotton, and teaming with tan leather boots and a bag.

Knitwear

Knitted accessories like gloves, hats and scarves were a major trend last autumn/winter and, with the chilly temperatures, a major necessity too! Whilst gloves are not needed for spring – even on colder British spring days! – knitted hats and scarves can still be worn. Leave chunky knits in your wardrobe and opt instead for finer pieces. A beret-style hat in a bright colour looks cute with a plain spring dress, especially if the colours are contrasting. The same goes with a fine-knitted scarf, which is the perfect way to stay warm on an evening out, without the need for a bulky coat. Go for contrasting brights – yellow, red, green and purple are all big this spring and will give your winter accessories a hot 2013 make-over.
