Navajo print is back too for the winter season. Unisex prints are exceptionally engaging in the Winter, always youthfully and standalone. Layering is the tip to achieve the look!
Real or faux fur, the stand-alone collar is one of the big trends on the streets this winter. Similar to a scarf, the fur collar is versatile and can be worn as accessory over bare shoulders, on top of cardigans or jacket’s collars. High end looking ones elegantly cover up with animal patterns. All look fabulous regardless of the size and colour.
MONASTIC DARKNESS All black is the key to achieve the rebellion look.
Round sunglasses / Sharp edged statement lipstick / Platform ankle boots / Biker jackets / All-black fur coats / Bigbang printed leggings / Studded leather gloves / Chunky scarves Why not a monochrome animal print sweater or tote bag for a simpler match? A religious devotion is seen within paean of rock “n� roll dressing, showing the abstract dark side of the monastic escapism.
NOLGASTIC GLASSES
Nolgastic glasses are a hit for the vintage school look. Rayban glasses match up with the parka jacket perfectly creating an old school tones in a trendy twist. Or a lime-green cashmere beret with a green parka jacket segues acid washed jeans. Others have with cream knit wears underneath their green waxed jackets, topped with scarves to complete the winter look.

Converses in your favorite colour / Parka jackets / Comfy casual wear Casually showing off the acid washed technique and top up with the faux fur jacket or try out with the leopard.
Mad For Plaid
This pattern belongs to the winter - everyone’s mad for plaid. The red plaid pattern goes well with black or dark colours. Have a plaid shirt to layer beneath a jacket, with skinny trousers for boys or tights for the girls. Making the pattern stand out is key. Do the same with plaid capes and plaid trousers.
