Wrapping up warm

Colours get bolder, furs get funky and designers mashed up there style and suddenly felt dotty on the runway this season, with practical items which still keep you looking good.

Looking back to last winter, Alexander Wang kicked off his outwear cat walk with bomber/cape parkas, which were also heavily featured on many runways and designer shopping destinations. A statement coat is guaranteed to make you stand out from any crowd, while keeping you warm and prepared for the Great British weather. With various different styles and colours of parkas hitting the nations high street, now is the time to get yours before the rest of your friends do!

Polka dots have been seen on many celebs this season, and its safe to say that they'll be a longstanding trend which can be extremely versatile. As Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs highlighted you can wear bold polka dots, or something a little more subtle, from Stella’s hand sewn embroidered sequin disk dress to Marc's whole spotted outfit. From hats to hosiery, you cant miss them. This perfect pair of Polka Dot tights by Wolford can be found here on DesignerClothing.com.

To keep the chill off you on your nights out, and cover up more than usual, go for tuxedos. If you need proof of this winning look, take a peek at Pheoebe Philo and Kirsten Dunst in their tuxes at 2011 CFDA Awards. If its good enough for them, its certainly good enough for us! Pair up a sharp tux jacket with a pair off fitted trousers and courts, which will make going to work a stylish affair, while still looking professional.

At DesignerClothing.com you'll find designers such as Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and many, many more.
