Next – autumn/winter 2012 starts here

Shop Next's autumn/winter collection. Its new-season pieces are in store and online now.

To help you decide what trends to buy into, I've picked three key pieces you will be shopping for: the dress, the jacket and the winter coat.

Lace is still going strong for autumn/winter, but the focus is on new and different ways to use it as a detail. For the season's new opulence trend, a lace overlay adds an ornate touch, giving a nod to the gothic trend, too.

These two Next lace dresses match the elegance of Erdem's designs – but at high-street prices. The lace dress above is £58 and comes in mink as well as blue. The floral lace dress below is £60.

 

Thanks to the classic Chanel jacket, there's a big trend for bouclé this autumn/winter. The bouclé jacket is a work-wardrobe essential – it's smart enough for the office while adding off-duty cool to jeans.

These are two great designs by Next. The first tweed jacket is £69 and continues spring/summer's love affair with neon, playing with bright colour. The second tweed biker jacket, meanwhile, reworks tweed as a biker style for £55.

 

A winter coat is a necessary purchase and these two are Next's key designs. The first, a Crombie coat with a faux-leather collar and trim for £60, works the androgynous trend, with navy being a refreshing change from black. And the second, a grey military coat for £70, champions one of the biggest trends of the season: yes, military is back.

I hope these Next pieces have got you excited about the new season. Let me know what trends you'll be buying into.
