What are the trends this winter? The colour green. Perfect for winter as an alternative to black and just dark enough to keep the black sentiment going. The roll neck (skivvy). Fine gauge knits with the additional neck room in basic colour palettes have reappeared, adding a cosy style. Quilted jackets. Rugging-up has a new look with slimmer fitting quilted bombers and jackets that do away with the bulk. Slim-cut tailored slacks. Gone are looser trousers and in is a sleek, fitted, cropped pant that elongate the foot, showcasing the footwear. Why they will work? The introduction of colour trends in addition to black and white, such as green and orange reinvigorate perspectives on classic tailoring. What you think of them? They’re brilliant. The introduction of new colours and styles means that Australia keeps-up with the rest of the world and consumers are forced to keep an open mind.

What are the trends this winter? Man-style dressing is going to be big - it's a slicker version of boyfriend dressing which has been quite a hit. Other trends include shaggy jumpers and the appearance of leopard print – we will see the return of pony haired leopard print purses clutches and wallets. My favourite! Why will they work? They are subtle, easy to wear and very accessible because it's not just highend labels that will endorse this trend but also more affordable labels like Mink Pink, River Island and Asos.
What are the trends this winter? Metallics, graphic prints and black leather skirts and biker jackets are some of recurring trends seen on the winter 2014 catwalks. Inspired by the '60s, fashion designers have incorporated these pieces into their new collections, adding embellishments and longer line jackets or swing coats for a hint glam. Why will they work? These trends work best when you take a more modern approach, so stick to just one or two elements at a time. To weave this era into your winter wardrobe, choose wellstructured pieces and don’t shy away from bold colours or prints. What do you think of them? It's great to see a combination of classic, timeless and edgy fashion making an appearance. It’s all about creating statement looks through good tailoring, and beautiful prints and fabrics.
What do you think of them? I love the upcoming trends especially because they're not entirely girly. With man-style dressing, I'm able to still maintain a tomboy essence but with a more chic tone and with leopard print which is a must-have in every wardrobe!
