Top 5 New Year Fashion Tips

We’ve got some fashion tips for your new year wardrobe which will help put some fun and colour into January and beyond...

Be a ‘Knit’ Girl

There’s no better time to embrace knitwear than in the depth of winter. We’re loving cardigans this year, with chunky knits keeping us warm through short winter days. Knitwear gives you lots of options though – you can go for a bold statement cardi in black to complete an all-black look for example, or a cardi with a collar to get that ‘jacket’ feel.

Capes

Mucho Metallic

Whether it’s bags or coats, metallic is where it’s at this year. The best thing about this look? It works day to night. From office to off out. You can dress up any outfit with it. Never be overdressed in metallic. It will last you through any parties you may have in mind, and on through the year.

Sexy 60s style

Bag a Clutch

This season’s oversized clutch is a key piece in your wardrobe. If you only buy one thing this winter, get a clutch. Whether you choose animal, graphic, Victoriana, metallic (see above) or faux-leather, there’s a bag to suit you. And what’s more, you’ll easily be able to fit everything inside.

Colourful shoes

Head for heights?

Killer heels are the perfect party shoes, but for heel-lovers they work well beyond a Saturday night out. For inspiration, check out shoe addict Cheryl Cole’s brand new on-trend killer heel collection, released for 2012. Enjoy the added height they can give you (and their temporary ‘slimming’ effect while you wear them) and look out for this season’s must-have print and luxurious metallic finishes.

New 80’s

Brights are back

It might be winter, but there’s no need to hide your light under drab clothing this new year. This winter, brights are back, baby. Work this key look into coats and jackets this year. Stand out from the crowd – the brighter the better. From citrus orange (yes, we did say orange) to zesty lemon and strawberry red.
