The 10 Most Winter Fashion Trends

Fashion shows are not always directly applicable to your everyday style, but that does not mean you can not glean some inspiration and make their own. We have seen ten trends winter you can try; people are surprisingly practical during the winter. Of extra long sleeves for the return of the once-maligned leggings, this is what we use to keep warm (but looks cool) this winter.

1. SKI JACKETS
The wax ski jacket makes its way from the slope to the runway thanks to the cold suppliers, Balenciaga this Demna Gvasalia. Revoking North Face coat on your own or Roxy and style them with trousers and heels for the office.

2. EXTRA-LONG SLEEVES
Who needs cold weather accessories when your arms extend past your fingers? Rihanna-approved (seen here at her Fenty x Puma runway debut) extra long sleeves are the perfect alternative to the glove. No more fumbling when you receive an incoming call-all you have to do is wiggle your hands!

3. PUFFER COATS
As an avid fan of Patagonia, I am pleased to announce that finally cool puffer jacket. But more than just down feathers and high-tech insulation, style this season varies from striking (like a number of these metals from Vivenne Westwood) to hairy. On an LBD with puffer jacket for a chic but comfortable evening.

4. TURTLENECKS UNDER DRESSES
Instead of decorating your summer dresses, coating them with a turtleneck knit like Tory Burch doing here, and voila! You have doubled your winter wardrobe.

5. PLATFORM BOOTS
Keeping your legs high and dry with 90s inspired platform. The cheetah boots by Maison Margiela will make the Spice Girls are proud, while the patent leather version can handle stomping through the streets of liquid.

6. TROOPER HATS

You do not need to sporting greatness Ushankas seen at Louis Vuitton, but keep in mind that the police hat is the savior cold. Hairy ear flaps are far superior to knit beanies, keep your ears warm throughout the season.

7. NAVY OVERCOATS

Last winter, we are obsessed with a camel coat. That was the easy part matching denim, evening clothes, and everything in between. And although we are still in love with them, we think neutral-match outerwear met with Navy inspired coats this season. As seen in Coach, gold-buttoned coat just as versatile, but a little more dramatic.

8. PATENT TRENCH COATS

For the unseasonably warm winter (too cold for the jacket, too hot for wool coats), took note of Isabel Marant. A patent trench will offer warmth than light counterparts, without causing you to overheat.

9. LEGGINGS

Phoebe Philo surprised everyone last season by introducing something that we thought was dead and gone: the leggings. Céline stretchy pants are laid under dresses and skirts prove it is time we embraced convenient viewing.

10. FAUX FUR STOLES

Fur and faux fur stole made their way back in style thanks to designers like Monse. Drape them on the diagonal or attach it to your lapel as comfortable faux collar.

The Closet Thinker: Think pink

Justine Picardie on why pink is not just for Valentine's Day.

Paris haute couture represents fashion at its most extravagantly romantic; and nothing seems to have dampened its spirits - neither grey skies nor dark economic forecasts. Indeed, even as I dodged rain-showers and puddles between shows in the latter days of January, I was reminded of Kay Thompson singing 'Think pink!' in Funny Face , a 1957 musical as effervescent as this year's spring collections.

At Chanel Karl Lagerfeld showed rose-petal chiffon dresses and bouclé tweed suits so exquisite that they might have been spun out of sugar, on models wearing flat black satin slippers that let them move with the ease of a young Audrey Hepburn. John Galliano also produced flurries of pink at Christian Dior - rippling from dark to light in layers of tulle and clouds of marabou feathers (a homage both to the founder of the couture house, and to René Gruau, an illustrator whose work in the late 1940s and 1950s was an intrinsic element of Dior's iconography). Christian Dior himself described pink 'as the sweetest of all colours', advising that 'every woman should have something pink in her wardrobe. It is the colour of happiness…'

Back in London it feels less easy to embrace pink, though not for lack of availability. You can find a plethora of neon-pink frocks in Christopher Kane's spring/summer collection, and at Jil Sander, where the spectrum runs from pale sherbet to vivid cerise; while the high street is pulsing with candy colour. Perhaps it's the imminence of Valentine's Day that is making me wary of the sartorially obvious (pink being the de facto colour of romance); but after the pleasure of watching Paris couture - the ultimate in escapism - I seem to be lapsing back into black or grey.

The alternative, perhaps, is to think of pink as shocking, rather than sweet; like Elsa Schiaparelli, the Italian couturier whose surrealist designs in 1930s Paris served as an antidote to the Depression. Bettina Ballard, a Vogue fashion editor who worked in France until the outbreak of the Second World War (when she gave up shocking pink to don a Red Cross uniform), described Schiaparelli's 'hard elegance' as 'a highly individual chic [that] stands out like a beacon… making the rest of the couture look pretty and characterless'.

Schiaparelli's business struggled in the postwar period, outshone by the advent of Dior and the return of Chanel, then finally closing in 1954. But her granddaughter, the actress and model Marisa Berenson, was resplendent in the front row of the Dior couture show last month… in black, like almost everyone else.
