What to wear in winter: 10 new wardrobe hits
STOPPED THE END OF AUTUMN which means it's time to seriously think about what to wear this winter. We have chosen ten items of clothing and footwear that will come in handy in the next three months.
Sheepskin
Sheepskin coat is a purchase for the ages, if only because it flashes on the runways in almost every autumn-winter season. For this year, the designers presented traditional coats of brown and sand colors - they are well complemented by coarse shoes, leather pants, bright skirts and turtlenecks. Balenciaga recreated the image of women of the 90s: a sheepskin coat with a length below the knee and with a smell goes in combination with blue jeans. If you add trekking boots with lace-up or ankle boots with low heels, you will get fashionable and fresh.
It is worth looking at colored sheepskin coats that look unusual in contrast to the classics. Trademark presented a carrot coat, Cédric Charlier in blue and Acne in blood-red. The last jacket will look great with black, gray or white things.

Hoodie
It would seem that with Hoodie it is already difficult to come up with something new, but designers again and again demonstrate extravagant options. Alexander Wang and Vetements propose wearing sports sweaters with maxi skirts - from flowing fabric or sportswear. Lacoste and Anthony Vaccarello showed hoody dresses: simple plain and futuristic leather. Such a dress can be worn over midi skirts and complemented with coarse lace-up boots or long boots. You can limit yourself to one long hoodie, if you have boots, if you are not ready for a risky image, try to cover it with shoes.

Corsets
Corsets have long been transferred from the section of underwear to the main part of the wardrobe. They create a beautiful silhouette and reinforce the multi-layered image. The latter was very subtly demonstrated by Miuccia Prada: her heroine wears all her favorite things at the same time and girds them with a thin cotton bodice, for greater strength, adding a leather belt. You should not completely transfer such an approach to ordinary life - it is enough to take corsets and belts so that the usual straight coats and jackets change their silhouette.
Other designers turn to futuristic versions of armor-like corsages. Such people wear t-shirts and blouses, flowing or slinky dresses. They add the appropriate drama to the image, especially if you play on color and textural contrasts: gray jersey blends well with a red lacquered corset, and pastel silk with black leather models.

Dresses in the style of the new Renaissance
Designers often interpret historical styles in new ways. This time, the Renaissance has undergone a review: dresses of precise proportions in combination with coarse boots, velvet in the vicinity of large prints, flashlight sleeves with leather inserts, rich decorations against the backdrop of a sports strip.
Landmarks for Renaissance in everyday wardrobe can be found at Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino and Chanel. If you prefer a velvet dress, complement it with gold jewelry: a massive necklace and minimalist hairpins. If you like flowing fabrics, pay attention to leather bracelets, pearls and necklaces. But remember that the Renaissance characterizes harmony in proportions, so do not overdo it with your hair and shoes. Asceticism is appropriate: on the head - loose hair or a neat lowered tail, on the feet - black boots without unnecessary details.

Tartan cage
The trend of the cell - the constant autumn-winter seasons. Only the ornament changes, and this time the tartan prevails. Combine checkered things of the same color, as they did in Takhoon; push off in color combinations from one piece of clothing that came out harmoniously with Burberry. We advise you to look at other outfits from this collection, if your cell inevitably associates with the image of a schoolgirl. Permanent Christopher Bailey solves this problem by combining a space-like costume and coat with a recognizable ornament. The cell gives a wide field for experiments.

Pea jacket
The jacket also regularly returns to the podiums. It is not surprising - more interesting images are obtained with it than with a bathrobe or a regular straight coat. You will get the most different, including deliberately feminine: jackets are perfectly combined with dresses made of silk, velvet, brocade and skirts of any length. The image can be complemented with warm tights and voluminous sweaters. It is even easier with shoes - both boots and sneakers with fur and long boots and ankle boots of non-standard colors go under the jackets.

Cape
Drape will refresh your office look if you wear it over a strict shirt or blouse. She can be an interesting addition to a sweater and will give chic to an evening dress. Such capes, despite the apparent decorative effect, are quite functional - they will warm the room and will not let the wind blow under the jacket.

Elegant dress on one shoulder in the style of the 80s
The open shoulders are so loved by the designers that they wander from the summer collections to the winter ones, where, it would seem, to bare even one shoulder will be cool. On the catwalk all the chic and brilliance of the 80s - dresses like candy wrappers with tights in a grid and bright shoes in the bargain. These images are perfect for bright parties and New Year's festivities to the music of the same era.
The dress in the style of the 80s is easy to overload if you make a magnificent hairstyle and put on a bright costume jewelry. Hair combed back, massive silver and gold jewelery and shoes that match the color of the dress are what you need to make the image complete. If you want more enthusiasm, pick up shoes that contrast sharply with other things, as shown in Saint Laurent. In any case, it will be fun.

Fur scarf
A fur scarf is a decorative rather than functional detail, but therefore no less valuable. They can complement the dress and go to the theater or to the exhibition, where this accessory will look doubly impressive. A bright scarf over a coat will refresh your look. Fortunately, it is not necessary to buy an accessory made of natural fur: in the mass market they offer many options from artificial materials - from calm to multi-colored.

Long gloves
Long gloves, albeit not always comfortable, especially if they have to constantly remove, but for efficiency and warmth, they benefit many. Wear wool pairs directly on the parks, as shown in Prada. Leather and velvet gloves will add chic to a coat, jacket or evening dress. Experiment with colors: bright sleeves are not necessarily combined only with dark things - blue contrasts beautifully with red, green - with yellow.
