all Winter 2013 runways were filled with trends worth trying. From sparkling jumpers to black leather looks and accessories, unique shoes and beauty products, our style radar is going crazy this month. We have chosen the most dominant wearable trends and will guide you on how to pull them off without dominating your personal style. Incorporate edgy pieces to your looks and use our essential jumper guide to style the season’s trend to your advantage. Don’t forget to add a unique touch to your outfits, following Chiarra Ferragni’s style trends. Don’t have second thoughts about layering; add interest to your outfits by piling on your pants, skirts and tops. Go either “soft” or “hard” and choose leather, ecological or not, to create a sporty, edgy or absolutely feminine look and match it with knits or silk separates. Over-theknee boots might seem a bit daunting, however they are a worthwhile investment especially during the cold winter days. Go for matte or suede and match them with chunky knits, mini skirts or leggings and a boyfriend jumper for a more casual look. Don’t go crazy on colors or patterns this season. Just keep your choices simple and you will realize that they will be just enough for you to have the perfect look.
Editor’s Pick Black Leather This season, the road to phenomenal style is a one-way road. Black leather is the core of most high-fashion designers collections across Fashion Weeks worldwide and has spread to clothing, accessories and jewelry. Focus on pieces that exude a ‘Glamorous Goth’ vibe, that bridge punk references such as chains and studs with feminine elements. Opt for fringed leather earrings with a unique ombré effect and a quilted leather skirt. Style Tip: Break the rules with a small cross body bag with a contrasting pony hair front.

DOs & DON’Ts
While the simplicity of a classic white shirt is forever chic, you can easily get in trouble if you choose the wrong set of clothes to match it! Avoid a mini skirt and a loose jumper that would only make you look out of season, any time of the year, and go for simple pieces that will let none debate the merits of your wardrobe next time!
✓ DO A classic white long shirt becomes even more essential with a pair of black skinny pants. Hold your favorite shoulder bag and match a pair of black ankle boots, the new must-have that will give you extra style points. And don’t forget that a thin leather belt will definitely add a visual punch to your look!

They say that ‘Fashion fades, but style is eternal’... However, styling your clothes is not always as easy as it sounds. Our fashion editors have chosen several style cases for the most wearable trends, and will guide you on how to pull them off without becoming a fashion victim.
DOs & DON’Ts
✓ DO Who said that matching a bright colored coat, like yellow or mustard, with your every day ensembles is an easy decision? Prefer clothes and accessories in earthy hues or basic blacks to style it and soon it will prove to be the perfect throw-and go piece of your wardrobe!
Stay cool, wearing casual black & white clothes and accessories rather than bright ones and give an end to the hunt for the ideal ensemble.
Yellow coat
✓ DO Cap your look with a warm knitted fur beanie in the color that suits your mood best. A studded military-like cardigan paired with a printed top and loose faded pants, could easily be the first set of matching clothes that comes into mind... Go for it!

Beanie
DON’T
No matter how cold it is outside, when you are in the mood for a night-out don’t think of matching a knitted topper with a glamorous sequined dress or heeled pumps. Prefer a fedora hat that suits better to the occasion and enjoy stealing the show wherever you go!
