Your wardrobe update heroes - Winter

Once the warm, rich shades of Autumn fade away in a couple of months, this season is made for your palette. But how do you ensure that you don't get stuck in the navy/charcoal/black/white rut? By adding COLOUR, that's how! Don't sacrifice your contrast and brightness just because everyone else is drifting into gloomy shades.

With that in mind, I've picked the six new season items that are going to lift your look as the temperature drops, and keep working hard for you all autumn/winter long. I've kept a Princess personal style in mind when putting this selection together, but if that isn't you, don't panic - simply read on to find out which subtle shifts you need to make to your new season essentials list to best suit your own personal style.

Your essentials

Silky Roll Neck | Print Arabella Dress | Connie Sweater | Vintage Collar | Darcey V | Rhoda Skirt

Style notes:

I've kept you well away from the neutrals with this selection (you're a Winter, I know you've got endless neutrals in your wardrobe already), but that doesn't mean everything doesn't mix and match from this selection. The Pink Ice Silky Roll Neck will add contrast to the Arabella Dress, Connie Sweater and the Rhoda Skirt, while the Connie and the Darcey will layer up with the Rhoda skirt or the Vintage Collar effortlessly. The Vintage Collar, incidentally, is the perfect accessory to prettify a simple tee/sweater and jeans outfit.

New season picks for an Adventurer

Simply remove one or two of the fussier, prettier elements from my selection and replace them with something a bit more laid back, a bit more you. I would be inclined to opt for the oh-so-cool Lucy Leopard Dress in place of the Print Arabella, and switching the Vintage Collar for a gorgeously soft and cosy Cashmere Gauze Stole.

New season picks for a Minimalist

You might want to go a little more sleek and modern, which the Print Arabella will work so well for, but try switching out the Rhoda skirt for a simpler Jersey Maxi Skirt or a Check Short Skirt and the Vintage Collar for a (neatly tied!) Cashmere Gauze Stole.

New season picks for a Pixie

Maxi skirts are rarely your friend, but the new Luxe Leggings are possibly the find of the century for you, so switch them into your selection in place of the Rhoda, and think about adding in our bestselling Mia Long Sweater to wear over the top for a cosy-but-stylish take on the tunic with leggings look. You might also want to switch the Arabella Dress (potentially a little long if you're petite) for a neat Lottie Dress.

New season picks for a Movie Star

You want to remove the boring and amp up the glamour, so try switching the Silky Roll Neck for a sumptuous Long Sleeve Cowl Neck, and the Connie Sweater, which might be a little frumpy on you, for the luxurious warmth of the Merino Crossover.
