The Aviator Jacket

It may seem a little early to be thinking about dressing for winter, but sometimes you need to plan ahead. A key piece for Autumn/Winter 2010 is the Aviator jacket.

They are literally flying off the shelves already – scuse the pun! We love this Topshop version with the buckle details and soft, snuggly sheepskin lining. It almost makes us want the sun to stop shining so that we can wrap up in the gorgeous shearling.

Celebrity Trend: Faux Fur

A celeb trend that’s wearable is a rare thing of wonder, but that’s exactly what the faux fur coat trend is!

Stars such as Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson have all been spotted out and about keeping warm and snugly in their faux fur buys. It’s a look that has filtered down into the high street as well, meaning you can snap up a slice of A-list luxe at a fraction of the price.

It’s the perfect cover up – especially with all this snow – and what’s more, you’ll probably be able to pick up a fur number in the sales. We’ve found a great black faux fur (see below) at Debenhams, reduced from £49 to £35.

Both Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham favour the more natural hue of coat, such as this Topshop number (middle). However, we think you can’t go wrong with black. If you don’t want to go the whole faux fur coat hog, don a furry gillet, which looks great when clashed with a cutesy print dress.

The key to wearing this look successfully is to keep the rest of your look simple. With so much volume up top, it’s also wise to keep the bottom half slim in skinny jeans or leggings. And finally, remember to keep it fake – real fur is not cool and if the faux variety is good enough for the likes of Ms Moss, then it’s good enough for us!
