She’s a Lady!!
I love winter but it can be a daunting task to transition your wardrobe from summer to winter. Here is some guide lines to push you in the right FASHION direction for winter 2010.

Coats

Coats are the must have item for every lady this season; it’s a basic piece that goes with everything in your wardrobe. It’s very important to get the right style and fit for your body type, if you’re lean and petite you can get away with padded and slightly flared designs. For a fuller figure it’s essential to buy a great fitted coat, look for trench coats with a belt that tie in the waist to create a great figure fitting look.

Colours and prints are huge this season, but when buying a coat I would suggest to sticking to basic black, white, light brow, and a traditional print/design like houndstooth this way your coat can easily transition in to any look.

Accessorize

Accessorize – Accessorize – Accessorize: winter fashion can become extremely boring so make sure to get a great pair of leather gloves and some scarves in bright colours and prints to add to your 2010 look.

The same goes for bags, invest in a bright leather bag to add a splash of colour to your corporate lifestyle.

My pick for the season is Burberry’s 2010 collection.

Boots and Leggings

2010 is all about knee-length boots and patterned stockings/leggings. Ankle boots paired with some great stockings are a great alternative for a glammed up office look.

If you’re not comfortable barring your legs during winter season, then a great pair of “skinny” or Straight-cut Jeans are a must have – neatly tucked into your boots for the same look.

Top tips to avoid a fashion mishap

• Limit your colour/print matching to two per look and avoid looking like a clown.

• Match your stocking/leggings to your shoes to create long - lean legs.

• Invest in the five basic items every lady should have for winter:

1. A great coat.

2. At least five pairs of patterned stockings/leggings.

3. Ankle boots, knee-length boots, and some Riding boots.

4. Colourful leather gloves (lined with fur or wool for added warmth).

5. A great designer bag that will last you through out the season.

• Colour trends for 2010 winter: black, brown, white, cream, and grey with a pop of colour and NOT the other way around!

• Make sure to buy great fitting Jeans.
