1. The Embroidered Cape

Isla Embroidered Cape, £149 | Edith Embroidered Dress, £75 | Oralie Over The Knee Stretch Boots, £89

Capes are one of the trophy trends of the new season, epitomised through this embroidered black design that falls just above the knees. Boost its bohemian aesthetic of this key winter warmer by layering over a black embroidered mini dress of a similar length, finishing the cold weather look with a pair of over-the-knee boots.

 

2. The Shearling Coat

Tilly Print Midi Dress, £69 | Viola Velvet Frill Jacket, £59 | Heidi Shearling Coat, £99

Double layering – wearing two coats or jackets at once – has fallen into favour in recent seasons, offering a chic way to keep out the elements. Master the trend with a burgundy shearling coat worn over a red velvet jacket for the perfected insulated layer. Complete the look with a paisley-print midi dress in tonal colours and block-heeled ankle boots.  

 

3. The Velvet Parka

Poppy Velvet Parka, £129 | Check Scarf, coming soon | Nina Novelty Bugs Jumper, £59 | Iris Skinny Jean, £49 | Maysie Metallic Back Trainers, £39

The parka coat is the outerwear of choice for jeans-and-jumper days and this season, the cold weather essential has had a decidedly modern upgrade. Crafted from plush green velvet and designed with a faux fur hood, this sumptuous style is set to become your AW17 staple. Layer it over a novelty knit, skinny-fit jeans and white trainers, adding an extra hit of colour with a red checked scarf.
