Men layering - females have been layering for the last few seasons and many of the fashion forward males have it mastered, enjoy the confidence a layered look brings. Layering makes you look individual, it adds depth and strength (not to mention warmth in this freezing weather!) when you put 4 different pieces together you do it in your own way.

Slogan t-shirts, do them now! Layer over roll necks for warmth, shirts and long sleeve tees. But don’t just wear any old slogan, wear a tee that has an image or catch phrase you love or believe in. Quirky cute options like ‘I love my boyfriend’ might be your thing or something a little more political or obscure can create a strong individual look.

Keep your eyes open - be on the look out for - the waistcoat! Waistcoats are the hottest item for this autumn/winter. Featured heavily in Stella McCartney's spring/summer 2005 collection, try wearing them lose and oversized or cropped and fitted. This seasons waistcoats have come a long way they are definitely more than just a formal suit hire store reject! Take the lead of Kate Moss and try a vintage waistcoat worn effortlessly with well worn jeans and a thin undershirt. A fitted waistcoat with thin lapels and only one or two buttons pulling it in firmly under the bust will be the most flattering style.

The blouse, no longer just worn by grannies, is romantic, sexy, soft and not really all that prim and proper this season. Wear a detailed, drawstring featured, button through, embroidered or pleated style with denim jeans and boots to create a effortless boho look. Opt for a more prim look for the office with a pussy-bow blouse in a solid colour or print with a pencil skirt or pant and complete the look with a round toe shoe. Try a sexy evening blouse in satin, silk or a semi sheer fabric, teamed with a pair of structured pants and ultra high heel, unbuttoned as far down as you dare.
