Wrap Up for Winter

The nights are drawing in and there's no denying that there is a chill in the air, but the cold weather doesn't mean you have to be any less stylish. Layering is the key to looking good and keeping warm in winter, and it doesn't need to be bulky. We've put together three fabulous layered outfits that work for every occasion to see you through the next few months.

The Francesca is a perfect daytime dress. The delicious mulberry colour beautifully corresponds with fallen leaves, so wear it with autumnal coloured accessories, like these delectable burnished leather boots and this chic faux fur gilet, which will keep you protected from the elements. Style with a nude lip, using a product such as Rich Colour Gloss from Bobbi Brown, and a statement necklace for a fashionable winter look.

For an elegant evening ensemble in this season's favourite lace, the Chloe in Arabian Blue is ideal. Its timeless Royal Blue colour is perfect for a winter soiree. With a cashmere stole, like this stunning one from Brora, the outfit is classy and still cosy. Add some glitz with gold accessories, such as these smart court shoes and jewellery (bangles, earrings) to make you shine. For the finishing touch keep eye make up subtle and allow a statement red lip to draw attention.

Nothing says sophistication like a floor length gown, and the Clara is the first choice for black tie events. This glamorous gown is a classic design, so it can be made even more striking with glittering accessories. Like this eye catching box clutch bag, this enchanting gold and moonstone ring and a delicate leaf pattern necklace. Keep the outfit coordinated with black high heels and a black faux fur shrug. Keep your eyes the focus of the face with a metallic smokey eye and finally a spritz of perfume which has feminine notes of peony, such as Jo Malone's Peony & Blush Suede will make you feel like the belle of the ball.
