How to wear it: Team earthy tones and pile on the plaid to nail this season's affinity with the great outdoors. To keep from looking like a Boy Scout be sure to balance heavy layering by keeping the bottom of your look streamlined in skinny trews, or dare to do bare legs.

How to wear it: Be prepared to receive plenty of hugs this season as oversized and cosy-as-can-be knits are the new statementwear du jour.

How to wear it: This season's take on tailoring comes in two tiers - choose from clean-cut trouser suits in block colours, or pop a tomboyish, outsized jacket over your shirt and shorts for a more relaxed approach. Whichever takes your fancy, be sure to wear with super sleek locks to show you mean business.

How to wear it: The magpies among us are spoiled for choice this season, as there's not an autumn/winter staple that hasn't had a glittery makeover - so don't be afraid to go to town with this look.

How to wear it: Don't banish those summery sorbet shades to the back of your wardrobe just yet, because they're big news for AW14. Texture is key to keeping this look fashion-forward, so look for leathers, tulle detailing or even touches of fur.

How to wear it: Whether baroque, floral or animal prints are your bag, don't be afraid to clash them up to nail this wintry take on boho dressing.
Breezy maxis and wrap dresses may seem like summer-only staples, but Burberry showed us that if you throw on a shearling jacket and a few hits of fur, they're winter-worthy, too.

Tip: Not all mono looks need to be minimalist - why not use the simple colour palette as an excuse to dress to excess a la DKNY.

How to wear it: There was a serious case of '90s nostalgia on this season's catwalks. So stock up on slogan tees, get acquainted with metallics and splash out on some luxe trainers to follow suit for your off-duty wardrobe. Add some smudgy eyeliner and you're ready to rave on!

How to wear it: The '60s are one of the most revisited fashion eras, and for good reason. High hemlines, sharp silhouettes and funky prints are this season's nods to the decade and are your fail-safe route to easy evening glamour.

How to wear it: Oversized outerwear dominated the catwalks this season, with shaggy furs leading the charge. Go full-on in a yeti-inspired fur or opt for a jacket with a cosy shearling collar if you're more of an understated fashion fan.
