With the winter sales just around the corner, it’s time to think ahead. Here are the trends that you can wear now that will keep on giving throughout 2016 too.

Shoe revamp
Imagine a slipper shoe without the back and, voilà, you have got your trendiest shoe for the season. Gucci led the pack with signature print slip-on loafers. Though a recipe for cracked heels, comfort is surely welcome in the world of footwear.

Sports Luxe
This is a trend that has spilt over from one season to the next. With so many preoccupied with reaching and looking their optimum, it’s no wonder designers have created clothes that are so overtly trendy yet still comfortable too. Look for retro tracksuits that will ensure you look up to date on the school run and post-gym.

Hair Jewels
Everything from simple satin bows at Lanvin to more adorned hair embellishments at Chanel ensures hair is the beauty focus next season. So, don’t be too quick to store away your sparkly hair accessories post festivities — you’ll be wearing them sooner than you think.

Shoulder to shoulder
Stand straight and get posture perfect in off-the-shoulder tops and dresses that expose just the right amount of flesh to still look ladylike. Choose knit designs to keep the warmth in or cut-out tops to show off the new erogenous zone.

Toughen Up
Leather biker jackets never go out of fashion and there’s no change for spring/summer 2016. Next year sees oversized designs draped over summery frocks and fluid fabrics for an edgy vibe.

The bigger the better
Statement jewellery is no stranger on the fashion scene, but instead of necklaces getting all the attention, earrings and huge rings are the jewellery choice in the spotlight. So get buying now while shops are overflowing with in-your-face pieces.

Rainbow Bright
Hot pinks, classic reds, citrus shades and more are all big news for next season. So the more colour you inject into your look now, the less you’ll have to buy in the New Year. One way of justifying your sale shopping!
