With an exaggerated silhouette, this camel-coloured coat is perfect for layering over wintery outfits. Team it with one of the best wool jumpers, a pair of barrel-leg jeans, and ankle boots for the chicest look.
Made from a wool blend, this coat is designed with two front pockets and a buttonless front, and it is finished with a waist belt that cinches in your silhouette. Wear day-to-day layered over your favourite cardigan or blouse.
These tailored trousers are designed with a basque feature that gives them a dramatic edge. They are also made with a wool blend for a soft, cosy fabric that will keep you warm on colder days.
This asymmetrical cashmere jumper comes in purple, black, and soft grey. It offers a new take on a cashmere jumper with its asymmetrical collar, style with almost anything, from denim jeans to tailored trousers.
With the festive season soon commencing, a black dress is an essential, and this elegant maxi dress should be a top contender if you're considering buying one. The exaggerated tassel cuffs are sensational!
Barrel leg jeans are everywhere, and for good reason. This pair is a brilliant pick; not only are they ultra-flattering, but they feature playful stud detailing on the outside leg seam, making them glamorous too.
This suede shoulder bag is the perfect accessory to pair with darker neutrals. The added silver tone embellishments make this piece glamorous enough for evenings out, and it would look great styled with silver jewellery.
These glamorous long leather boots come in a tan shade that's fabulous for winter styling. Plus, the kitten heel means that they offer a bit of extra height without causing the discomfort or pain of a stiletto heel.
If you've been wanting to get in on the ballerina pump trend for a while but haven't found the right ones, look no further. This luxurious pair features an oversized bow detail and crystal studs, making them perfect for the festive season.
