In relation to my previous post, I had initially planned to talk a lot more about London Fashion Week but due to being so busy this idea has kind of gone out the window!
After attending my induction today I am now officially a second year and very excited to finally get back into a routine. However, standing freezing cold waiting for a bus and battling the blustery wind and showers is not something I am looking forward to (I need to move abroad!). So, in preparation I have been looking at my favourite jackets/coats to keep cosy for the chilly months ahead.
Outerwear
With Autumn/Winter 2013 in full flourish, it brings with it an abundance of trends ready to influence your perfect Winter jacket/coat purchase.
Oversized
This is a huge trend (literally...) for outerwear, dominating the catwalks as seen from the likes of Stella McCartney. This has obviously trickled down to the high street - my picks from the high street stores feature below.
 |
| Stella McCartney Autumn/Winter 2013-14 |
 |
| Asos - £395 |
 |
| Mango £119.99 |
 |
Topshop £125
|
Pink
As mentioned in a previous post, pink is a huge colour trend for Autumn/Winter 2013-14, especially when it comes to outerwear.
 |
| John Rocha Autumn/Winter 2013-14 |
 |
| Marks & Spencer - £99 |
 |
Zara £79.99
|
 |
Topshop £98
|
 |
| Topshop £89 |

The duffle coat is back, spotted on the catwalks with both a feminine and darkly edgy twist.
 |
Saint Laurent Autumn/Winter 2013-14
|
 |
Christopher Raeburn Autumn/Winter 2013-14
|
 |
| Topshop - £89 |
 |
Burberry - £895
|
 |
| Asos - £85 |
Parka
Again the parka has returned with fur-trimmed hoods and belts to allow for cinching at the waist. I love parka's because they are both fashionable but very functional - keeping you dry and warm!
 |
| Prabal Gurung Autumn/Winter 2013-14 |
 |
| Pull & Bear - £79.99 |
 |
| River Island - £100 |
 |
Boohoo - £45
|
Quilted/Padded
Back with a vengeance, the padded jacket has been reinvented on the catwalks by designers such as Peter Pilotto and DKNY.
 |
| DKNY Autumn/Winter 2013-14 |
 |
Peter Pilotto Autumn/Winter 2013-14
|
I recently purchased a padded/quilted jacket from Zara and I love it! The furry hood and belt allows the jacket to be fitted and still warm. I also love the zip details on the sleeves and the sand colour which makes it a bit different and stand out!
 |
Zara £79.99
|
That's just a few of the different outerwear trends which may help you with your winter purchases. I would also recommend a faux fur coat or a classic trench coat to bring your outerwear up-to-date!
