A modern, layering idea for days you want to elevate your outfit -  add definition to structural staples with a dramatic, thick waist belt or sash for added flair and style. A cousin to the much-loved corset styles and a soon-to-be wardrobe essential for many - the key to making a thick waist belt look good is all about proportions. The longer your belt, the lower your outfit ends.

Fashion's obsession with anything sparkly is still going strong no matter the season. Fall/Winter used to be a lot about staying comfy in sweats, but with the pandemic having gotten to all of us for the past two years, we all know just how badly we want to experience social gatherings, parties and more!

One of fashion's most daring trends has made yet another bold return to the big shows. This season, we saw various degrees of translucency being showcased on the runways, evoking the different moods and sensualities of each piece. An essential when it comes to layering, sheer pieces have always radiated effortless style and glamour however it's worn.

Black is loved all year round, but we all know that it shines the brightest every Fall/Winter season. This year, we saw this esteemed colour elevated through romantic elements of delicate lace, thoughtful fabrication and bold silhouettes. Black has never been boring (we know most of us can agree), but the collections this year have taken its potential to new heights; presenting us with a sensual allure fit for the confident woman.

The pandemic has surely dampen our spirits long enough, and it's all about recreating the fun we have missed out on for the past two years. The ideal layering piece underneath a solid-coloured outerwear, or paired with contrasting prints if you're feeling extra fun. Go big and beautiful, you.

Featuring rounded shoulders and more generous cuts, we saw plenty of relaxed, body-skimming silhouettes walk down the runways this season. They are a style that will never go out of trend, and we have all grown to love and appreciate them more than we ever did for virtual and intimate gatherings. Explore comfort clothing elevated to ready us for the better days ahead.

The statement thigh-grazing, over-the-knee boot trend has always been a crowd favourite and is one that has never showed signs of slowing down. They may not look like the easiest kicks to don, but they really aren't that difficult to style and go with more outfits that you think. Over jeans, under coats or just with any mini-length outfit, the possibilities are endless if you're just bold enough to do it.
