It’s that time of year again. The temperature’s dropping and suddenly our winter wardrobe doesn’t look quite as inviting as we once remembered. Fortunately, the winter trends are forecasting glitz and glamour to bring us out of our dreary autumn funk. Try injecting some seasonal twinkle into your winter outfits with some on-trend looks guaranteed to make you shine at Christmas parties, wedding season and family gatherings.

Futuristic chrome and glitter are on the horizon this winter in the form of trousers and skirts with a wet, metallic look for leather pieces and a monochrome color pallet for fabrics. The traditional crochet dress of winters gone by is also being updated in the form of chrome chain-mail and mesh designs. Dresses made with khaddar and cambric is high on trend and looks great whether you sport the look in scarf and beret form or as part of your main outfit.

Stand out this season with classic diamante jumpers and cardigans with sequin detail. Everything from boyfriend cardigans to cosy roll-neck jumpers is getting the sequin treatment this winter. Look out for waterfall and drop cardigans with subtle sequin detailing on the cuffs and pockets – gorgeous on cream and grey jumpers and perfect for an understated grace in the cold months without creating a cheap effect. Who says you can’t be cosy and elegant simultaneously?

Accessories with gold and silver hues such as bags, belts and brooches are perfect for adding instant glamour to a plain jumper and jeans outfit. Belts with chrome hues are a great way to liven up a plain jumper dress or top while gold and metallic-style handbags and clutches provide the perfect finishing touch to an evening dress and are a great way to dress up casual winter wear. But your style shouldn’t have to be limited to what’s underneath your sensible winter coat – accessories the lapels or breast with a stunning rhinestone brooch.
