The most interesting thing about fashion is that it's ever changing. There's always a possibility that what's trending yesterday will be a taboo the next. And before you know it, a style that has long been forgotten has emerged once again and starts to rule the fashion space once more. If you come to think of it, it's the like the water snake, which the Chinese believe is quite unpredictable. 2013 is the year of the water snake, and just like this reptile, you can add more fun to your year by being more adventurous and unpredictable with your style.

Create a New Fashion Statement. Creating a new fashion statement is not as difficult as it may seem. Try buying pieces from a high-end fashion shop and buy some from a low-end store. Combine them and see what you can get. With a little bit of creativity, you can come up with a real cool style that's unique to you.
Buy Versatile Pieces. Before purchasing anything, whether it be a dress, a t-shirt, or a pair of jeans, think first of at least three ways you can match and wear it. This way, you can be sure that nothing inside your closet will be left unworn before the year ends.
Expand Your Shoe Collection. Your footwear can make or break your outfit. Expand your collection by buying at least one pair of shoe each Women's Quirky Clothes season. You don't have to spend thousands of bucks on several pairs, though. If you know where to look, you can definitely find shoes to match what's already inside your closet without having to spend too much.
Experiment with Different Styles. Who says you can only have one fashion style? Again, this is the year to be more creative, so don't limit yourself to a style you're used to carrying. If you've had the same style for the past three years, it's definitely time for you to come out of your shell and try something new. Why not experiment by mixing basic pieces with quirky ones? Or, how about you try that style you've been wanting to try out, but are just afraid it wouldn't look good on you? Take the risk and see how it goes!
Just like the water snake, fashion can be very unpredictable. What is "in" now may be out of fashion the next few days or weeks. For this reason, learn to adjust and develop your own personal style, so that whatever happens with fashion this year, you can rest assured that you will have a style you can call your own at the end of the day.
With winter season definitely upon us, if you haven't got your winter jacket sorted now then you had better do it soon! There are styles for all types of men and women. Sporty men could consider sailing inspired menswear made from tough, durable materials which are built for all-season wear. These men's jackets are water resistant with adjustable cuffs, mesh lining, internal pockets and concealed hoods. They are the ultimate jackets for the sporty man!
Every man should own a timeless classic jacket that he can lean on when nothing else will do. A smart option is our wool jacket which is a more casual alternative to a men's winter coat. The thick wool fabric will keep you warm and happy throughout the winter season. Or for something more casual, try one which is fully quilted with a warm fleece lining. The classic jacket for ladies has got to be the denim jacket, as items don't come more versatile than this! With its semi-fitted shape and dark denim wash it's as flattering as it is stylish and can be thrown on over just about every casual outfit. Alternatively, choose a check wax mac which gives the classic trench coat shape a modern twist.
Take on the winter months in an all-weather jacket. Try to find something which is built to withstand the coldest of temperatures with features such as down and feather quilted fabric, multiple inner and outer pockets and removable hood or soft fleecy inner collar. Mild autumn days or chilly spring evenings may require something a little more light weight. Try looking for lightweight coats which feature the stylish military detailing that is everywhere this season and looks superb over a cotton t-shirt and denim jeans on men Women can don this coat over a little dress, cardigan and chunky boots for a practical yet stylish look.
Other lightweight jacket options that could be considered a little smarter. Are those which have been gently washed to create a soft, vintage effect or otherwise those that feature impeccable detailing such as check sleeve linings, multiple pockets, velvety soft faux suede pocket trims and handy popper buttons at the cuffs. Another top tip is to check if the zip reaches right up to the chin in case of unexpected autumn breezes!
Let's not forget that the more style conscious may prefer a jacket that's a little smarter and can be worn for both work and play. If this is the case we recommend a blazer for both men and women which can be beautifully tailored to create a smart silhouette and boast luxurious detailing include silk trims and quirky velvet lapels.
