I love the simplicity of this outfit which works with such a strong bold colour. The dress feels even coat-like and although such a large shape can be unflattering, she helps balance it with a bare leg and strappy shoes.

Taking the puffa trend to new levels. This is such a fun idea and padding is something we have seen the designer work with over the years. With many designers stamping their authority over this trend to spin off many an idea, why not add a trail to your coat and wear it to the Met ball. It’s the new take on a tux and I love it!

Red is all over the catwalks for AW17 and I love this outfit. The silhouette is masked out with shades of red meaning it's still flattering despite being so oversized. I love the pairing of a flat boot with this, it is effortless and fits the theme perfectly. This is my kind of outfit, comfort all the way.

I love the colour blocking of her outfit, what a way to pull off a simple white dress with clashing coloured accessories. All of the elements combine perfectly, and the pointy thigh boot gives this romantic dress an edge.
