1. Pink: The most popular shade for this season is pink. We would suggest opting for a lighter shade of pink so that it doesn’t tire in your wardrobe.
Heels, R16 800, Prada
2. Puffer jacket: A puffer jacket is a great investment for colder seasons and there’s hardly a soul without one. Here’s one that we think is a classic to add to your wardrobe.
Puffer jacket, R3 899, Scotch & Soda
3. Military jacket: Green military jackets are all over the international runway scenes at the moment. However, a black military is a staple that you can keep forever.
Military jacket, R1 399, Forever New
4. Pleats: Pleats usually make an appearance in each era of fashion. One of our favourite wardrobe essentials this year is from the Style by SA capsule collection available at Woolworths.
Rich Mnisi dress, R1 399, Woolworths
5. Velvet: Simply everyone’s doing velvet right now. From shoes to dresses, velvet is one of the hottest trends. Although the jewel colours are tempting, we suggest opting for navy – it will never date.
Bodysuit, R299, Zando
6. Flatform: The thing is that flowers are always trending whether it’s Spring, Autumn or Winter so you don’t have to keep these shoes for one season only.
Flatform, R27 200, Gucci
7. Red: Solid colours never go out of style, especially not red.
Kenzo knit, R7 590, Maison Mara
8. Wide leg pants: After countless years in skinny jeans, Victoria Beckham is seldom pictured in anything but wide leg pants these days. Trending or not, this look will always be comfortable and chic.
Culottes, R2 499, Scotch & Soda
9. Fluffy shoes: From slides to sneakers to heels, the fluffy shoe trend seems like it’s here to stay! This look has been seen in runway shows like Celine since 2013 so we reckon they’re a good bet.
Sneakers, R1 299, Steve Madden
10. Sling bags: Every fashionista that’s on the go needs a sling bag, no matter the trend.
Sling bag, price on request, Dolce & Gabbana
11. Fur: Bright furs are trending but neutral furs are the go-to if you’d like to keep this item in your wardrobe for longer than one season.
Gilet, R2 400, Superdry
12. Suits: The androgynous look been on the rise for a while but it’s hotter than ever right now with the suit this season’s must-have. And a suit never goes out of fashion.
13. The Little Black Dress: The Diesel dress would be a classic buy simply because every woman needs a little black dress as a closet staple.
