This year I have been selecting a few of my top Winter Fashion picks from the site. Zalando, have a fantastic selection of clothing, accessories and beauty products as well as exercise gear, I had trouble just deciding on which pieces to include in my style board! Most women think that winter is the worst of all seasons. However, true fashionistas know that winter is the most versatile season as it allows us to wear countless types of outfits. Furthermore, this season really tests our fashion abilities as we can’t just get away with a cute skirt and a nice shirt.  We have to combine layers, scarfs, gloves, coats, hat and so on. Luckily, the designers are willing to help us by giving us a few fashion guidelines. Lets take a look at the women fashion winter outerwear trends 2014.

Coats and raincoats are masterfully supplemented with models in A-lie style, form-fitting feminine and military style in popular line of New Look. Cropped coats do not loose its practicality and are still in fashion. It is worth noting the popular design elements such as cape, asymmetrical zipper, and turn-down collar that are hidden in coat. The main colors that will dominate the catwalks this season are: lavender, pale pink, white, gray, emerald, red, blue, purple, green and mustard. As we mentioned above, this year we abandon the timeless trends and dare to be bold. The hottest outerwear pieces of this season are colored fur coats. Furthermore, animal prints, check patterns, strips, camouflage and abstract designs are also very trendy this winter.

Military style is actual and relevant for jackets in this season. Several styles, which are designed with bombers, close-fitting jackets made of coat fabrics and parkas, asymmetrical zipper, make the fashionable collection. Jackets with a hem or shorter length of sleeves up to minimum are still popular. The designers also focus on round shape and additional volume of a shoulder which suit for all different types of new outerwear. Most of models in this collection are combined both trends. Moreover, additional volume in the design of coat is created by the using of extended shoulder line. Quilted materials, man-made and knitted fur, natural and their combinations are seen as the basic materials along with other popular materials such as smooth, patent, reptile skins, and traditional fabrics.

Although there are certain aspects which can be found in the more than one designer collection, in most cases, each designer has a unique approach to the new trends. For example, this year, Zara, presented a collection inspired by minimalistic and abstract concepts. This collection is perfect for city girls who run the streets like their own private catwalks. Some fashion brands, like Asos were inspired by grudge and punk motives while others chose Victorian inspiration.
