Dear Fashion Fans,

For some of us winter has well and truly begun, but for some Bella readers who live in milder climes, you’re probably torn between leaving the house in the morning wearing your winter coat or thin jacket. Dressing between the seasons can be frustrating – that’s why this season’s chunky knits will be a big hit – a cardigan and a coat in one – excellent! Cosy, warm and ultra chic, pick a long belted cardi-coat to get you through the awkward hot-cold months and wear with a gorgeous pair of knee-high boots and skinny jeans.

Read on to find out just how to wear this season’s chunky knits:

FREE YOUR LEGS!

Be brave this year and free your legs from suffocating trousers and adorn them in this season’s gorgeous block colour and detailed tights. Turn your pins into a work of art and look for jewel colour, block hose (think opulent purple, deep green and dark pink), intricately patterned tights as well as plain and simple, ultra thick black tights for a classic, flattering look. For the fashion forward ladies amongst you, look out for punky print leggings and stockings to jazz up an otherwise drab LBD!

THE WOMEN’S FASHION BAROMETRE OF COOL: New Season Buys

Women’s Fashion LOVES: That light-headed feeling of walking into a shop surrounded by fabulous new styles – goodbye summer, hello winter. We know the new collections have been in store for months but it’s only just getting chilly outside. With so many gorgeous coats, trousers, jumper dresses and grown-up accessories to choose from, we’re in new season shopping heaven.

Women’s Fashion LOATHES: Leaving essential winter clothing purchases to the last minute in the hope of it going in the mid-season sale. It’s risky business and often means we freeze without that warm winter coat and shiver without those new boots – buy whist the styles are hot to avoid disappointment when your size isn’t available in the sale!
