Whether it be knee high boots, shoe boots or brogues there is something to suit every occasion.

The Eighties are back with power shoulders, winter florals, bows, buckles and studs. Wearing dark prints, working fur, animal print, patent leather and oversized bold print is essential. Inject your peremial darks with a shot of leopard print. Textural contrasting fabrics and layering prints are a staple of every season. Clashing colours and the wonderful new techniques in digital printing give this trend a full make over into the future.

One to watch this season is the knee high to thigh high boots appearing in couture houses to the likes of Jimmy Choo and Gianmarco Lorenzo. Knee high boots work really well with skirts or trousers and our selection suits a variety of occasions. Riding boots are this years new look biker boot, Gabor Zenith and Tamaris Soldier with an almond toe and low heel, perfect comfort for everyday wear. Manas Heston reveals the new style hiking boot trend with a high heel and fur trim lacing spanning the length of boot.

Lace up shoe boots is a continuing 08 trend. Bohemian short fringed ankle boots in leather or suede can look sexy with bare legs or tights and our perfect pair is Tamaris Rara in suede with a removable fringe detail. Ankle shoe boots are amazingly versatile as they can go with a variety of winter outfits. Why not add navy for a super polished look with Hispanitas China.

Brogues prove power dressing does not have to mean heels. Gabor Ready the modern classic shows the popular material winter shoes are boasting for is patent leather in eternal black, red to bold winter colours like purples, yellows and greens. Peter Kaiser Saba with a mix of shades is a unique design with an elegant brogue detail the easy way to add vintage flair. Wonders Pepita cuffed ankle is a key trend to watch out for and Wonders Babel shows a brogue detailing and dainty lace fastening for a smart look.

Velvet is everywhere this season and the Unisa Nasla with a crinkled band is looking great on the foot. Gabor Amberly with a simple buckle on the top edge is a perfect flat knee high boot. Double to triple buckles, bright colours, luxe fabrics and sharply pointed toes must stand out. For daily wear Manas Barbara with the wooden effect heel is a match with jeans.

Reptile leathers create an exotic look to your outfit. Square toes, crocodile skin, tassels and tapered heels. Animal print shoes dress up skirts and plain outfits especially with Unisa Record for the contemporary look. Sheepskin is a must have for the cold season and Manas Ping a western patchwork style with fur lining is low on the heel, comfortable and warm. Hispanitas Freya the cowboy look with the cuban heel matt and croc leather used in combination compliment the boot well. The matching casual everyday bag Hispanitas B191646 with added texture is a brilliant  finishing touch.

Alternatively the fabulous forties is the elegant option this AW09 in a sea of ferocious trends think tailored skirts, suits, silk blouses, leather gloves and a touch of tweed. Silk shirts, blazers, bejewelled shoes, embellishment adding variety and attention to detail. Peter Kaiser Sigri with a beautiful studded button detail and elastic gusset is the formal look. Classic Mary Jane styles like Gabor Folk with the thick buckle is an essential look for work.                                                                    

Add some colour into your winter wardrobe with help from the charts aside. Bright red/scarlet hues become a favourite conventional Autumn Winter palette as well as black with grey khaki, navy blue and olive green. The pastel palette grows this season with nature inspired overtones of old country simplicity. Classical vivid saturated colours add contrast but just remember to keep your palette simple.
