Hot right now: Biker babe

Leather's always been a hot favourite in the autumn/ winter months, but this time, it's come round with a vengeance. From fingerless riding gloves to the ever iconic leather jacket and even leather pants (if you can bear the heat), it's all about roughing up your look and working that fierceness. Think Hell's Angel, but more angel and less hell.

A biker jacket is the easiest way to start. Wear over a strong coloured dress - florals work really well, too - as the dress stands out on its own, but works as a complement to the jacket at the same time.

Keep things understated with ballerina flats, a pale grey bag and a scarf instead of a necklace.

While slouchy ankle boots are part of the look, stay clear if you're not tall as they'll only make your pins look stumpy.

Feel rougher and tougher? Pair studded boots with opaque leggings and your biker jacket.

So ladies, get ready to roll!
