6) Hot Hats – Keep your head nice and toasty with a
new winter hat. My personal favourite is the shapka, a delightful piece of
fluffy headgear that keeps your head and ears warm, but there are so many to
choose from! A super-chic soft wool beanie, a faux-fur trimmed Cossack, and who
could forget the classic woolly bobble hat? All wonderful pieces of headgear
and all designed to keep you warm and on-trend this winter.
7) Fantastic Faux-Fur – This is a trend I’ve seen
cropping up a lot recently, and I am a firm believer that faux-fur will be a
huge trend this winter. Not only is it warm and deliciously soft, but it can
make you feel like a 1940’s film star or Cruella de Vil, depending upon your
way of thinking. You can also take it as far as you like. If you want to go for
a full-length faux-fur coat, then go for it. Blacks and whites look the most
stylish, in my opinion. If you don’t want to go that far, then perhaps a wrap
or a stole is more your speed (very Marilyn Monroe), and if you really don’t
want to wear too much of it, then a simple faux-fur collar on a coat or jacket
will work just as well.
8) Tremendous Tights – Instead of a colourful
outfit and plain black tights, why not try reversing the two? Tights come in a
whole variety of colours and patterns, and although black and nude colours are
staples, it’s nice to try something different. A good way to start would be to
wear your favourite little black dress with a pair of bright tights. When
you’re feeling a little more adventurous, go for a pair of patterned tights
(winter florals are a trend this season, so try emulating that in your
hosiery). Woolly tights will be everywhere in the coming months, so try to
stock up on a few different types rather than go for the simple black or nude
ones.
9) Marvellous Makeup – A classic trend for winter
makeup is the feline flick of eyeliner and a classic red lip. But this winter,
many designers have been a little more daring with their winter makeup by going
against tradition. Rose-pink lips, heavy mascara on top and bottom lashes,
metallic eyeshadow and blue-is-the-new-black eyeliner have all been seen on the
Fashion Week catwalks (tutorials and expert tips can all be found here & article on A/W Makeup Trends by our PR Rep Jess for Her Campus Nottingham here).
Now, as much as I appreciate the classic winter makeup look, I have to applaud
the Fashion Week makeup artists for thinking outside the box this winter. Gone
is the idea that dark colours are only for winter and pastels are only for
spring.
10) Nailtastic – One of the easiest ways to
accessorise this winter is by painting your nails. For those that aren’t quite
ready to jump in at the deep-end with the other suggestions on this list, but
do want to spice up their winter wardrobe, then nails are a good way to do it.
Trends spotted at fashion week include: gradient nails (fading from blue to
black was very popular), diagonal stripes and metallic nails are all on trend. As an added tip, space-age themed clothing has been spotted on several
runways, so get your metallics ready for the coming season.
