subject: Hot Styles And Trends For Winter [print this page] Don't let the cold get in your way of great fashion style and trends! Every season sees new style or updates of the old and traditional - and with Winter fast approaching it is no excuse to stay indoors to avoid the dull weather.
Boho Chic - This trend is not for everyone because it tends to feature lots of busy prints, short skirts, and other pieces that require a more petite body to really pull it off. Team up a tunic with long leggings but make sure the tunic drapes well; you can also add a draped coat, shawl, or vest over the top to complete the look. Opt for animal prints in all different colour shades for your short skirts and be sure to invest in a good pair of thigh boots to protect your legs while still looking great.
Rock Chick - This trend builds on the many big shoulder looks being shown this year. Try combining a jacket with big, pointed, shaped shoulders with slim pants and a tunic; whenever possible, opt for leather, metallic fabrics, and lots of grey and black shades. If you can work in a studded hip slung belt it will really make the outfit catch everyone's eye!
Classic - This is an overused word for sure, but classic styles are always chic and in fashion. Wear knee-length skirts which are slightly tapered with a white shirt or ruffled blouse in a strong colour for maximum effect. Curvey is really ''in'' this year so look for combinations that define your waistline. Top it all off with a classic double breasted or trench-style coat to provide the polish and continuity you need to look completely put together wherever you go.
Cool Urban - A great style for casual evenings or for the carrer women who dont have to wear power suits into the office every day. Try teaming up skinny jeans or leggings with sexy little ankle boots and a checked shirt, or knitted dress for a great look. A long jacket in soft, swinging fabrics completes this look, creating an effect that makes your legs look longer and your overall silhouette look cutting-edge and fantastic.
If you're not sure which look is best for you this winter, head to your local department store with a couple of friends and spend an afternoon trying them all on to see how they work for you. It's guaranteed to be fun for all of you!
