In need of some last minute inspiration for your Winter 2016 wardrobe?
Panic over.
There’s still time to rock the five hottest trends on the high street - as seen on our Stylist Catwalk supported by Swarovski at Stylist Live last month.
Trend #1: Spice World
Warm up your winter wardrobe with the trend that’s all about spicy shades of cinnamon, paprika and cardamom. The key is to wear tonal shades in one look, so pair a simple spicy jumper with a similar shade skirt or a spicy dress over a matching skinny roll neck with boots.

Trend #2: The Navy Coat
This is the piece that was everywhere at the AW16 designer runway shows. Choose a classic well cut woollen style with a touch of naval influence that will update your look this season and many more to come. Wear over a white shirt and with wide leg trousers or choose a collarless style to make any outfit look sleek.
