From faux fur to exceptional florals, flattering knitwear and fashion's staple a well-cut pair of jeans. Style director Louise Hilsz rounds up the latest looks from Auckland premium shopping destination Milford Centre.
Fur
Our winter fashion rule is faux or no when it comes to fur. A statement fluffy coat, jacket or collar allows you to go from the office to party with ease. However, not all faux fur is created equal: invest in quality and silhouettes that are tailored and understated shades.

KNITWEAR
As the temperature plummets knitwear is in the spotlight. From a classic polo neck, chunky cable knit or a flattering, feminine cape, mustard or baby pink are favouirte hues. This season the shape and shades of new knitwear are ultra-inspiring.
Trenery Merino Blend Dolman knit, $55. Lemon Tree Merino Blend Cape from Identity, $150. Decjuba Camilla Dolman Sleeve Knit, $110.
FLORAL
Bold and beautiful, a floral print is the perfect wardrobe addition amid the bleak mid-winter palette of muted tones. Bring that look of an English country garden to your fashion look with the great range on offer at Milford Centre.

JEWEL TONES
Acid brights in sumptuous jewel tones are bang on trend this winter. From amethyst to sapphire, emerald and ruby, these shades are so flattering to any skin tone. From a classic shirt too bright accessories this will be the best buy to update your wardrobe this season.
DENIM
Our editor's go-to look for any occasion is a well-cut pair of jeans. Skinny for day and boyfriend for after five or the weekend, jeans work well for the office or evening. Her tip for wearing them well is to focus on the fit, make sure you go down one size to allow for stretch, as they wear in.
