Image styled and edited by Ashleigh Harris - Photography by Neil Jolley - Model - Stacey

I am in love with Missoni's latest A/W collection.

From looks and styles that will take you from day to night, you'll be looking your best 24/7.

This season Missoni are looking into more depth at intricate patterns, unusual necklines and unique textures. The image above pictures two of my favourite pieces right now and below I shall give you a few ideas on styling the latest looks!

M Missoni Red Printed Coat - £695

M Missoni's red printed coat is one of the latest pieces of outwear to feature the newest patterns and detailing. With two popper button fastenings, long sleeves with black contrasting trim. Team this amazing coat with a pair of black leather trousers or a pair of your favourite warm leggings to get you ready for the chilly upcoming season.

Intricate patters, rusty reds and black trim. A wardrobe must-have!

Here I have styled our model Stacey in a pair of Michael Kors Leather Panel Leggings and a pair of the latest Sam Edelman Black Leather Buckle Boots with gold detail. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to keep eyes fixed on your statement coat. Try adding an oversized black Fedora hat for an even bigger style statement.

M Missoni Gold Lurex Dress - £459

With the party season nearly upon us, you'll want to find a unique and eye-catching dress that will have heads turning all night. Missoni have created this amazing Gold Lurex Dress with back detailing for a feminine finish. Long sleeved for the chilly season and a bold square neckline, you'll stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.

There are so many options when it comes to styling this little number. If you want to keep it simple yet classy, try adding your favourite black clutch bag and co-ordinating high heels. If you fancy sprucing this dress up even more, add a bit of sparkle with a gold clutch and matching heels. Top Tip: Keep your jewellery minimal. Leave out a necklace, this neckline is already a fashion accessory in itself!
