Admittedly, Kim Kardashian would never rank as unrivalled, avant garde, or experimental in the style stakes - black blazers, belted trenches, and Birkin bags are hardly revolutionary. But boy, the girl is trรจs chic! 

Sticking to a palette of nudes and neutrals, Kimmy K's outfits are punctuated by show-stopping sunnies, vertiginous heels, and that sable mane - the perfect accessory, non?

Take some tips from this Kardashian's closet and head to Topshop for your style fix, or if your purse is bulging, grab this of-the-moment trench by Burberry Prosum. A leather jacket/trench coat hybrid, it is the easiest way to transport the leather-look slap bang into spring. 

Louboutins they ain't, but these River Island platforms are so good. Wear with this season's pleated, floral skirts or with matt leggings to nail the KK style. And be sure to frame your face with a pair of aviators - Ray Ban, Gucci or Primarni, it don't mean a thang as long as they are dark and oversized

Banish biker boots this season, refute the glossies' demands that legs be dressed in khaki, forget shearling cover-ups, and embrace all things glam. Wholly feminine, this bandage dress will sculpt pre-existing curves, and build them in boyish figures. Layer on pink polish, slip on a studded black bangle and strut in crushed velvet platforms.

Military jackets adorned with epaulettes cascaded down the catwalks at Balmain and Alexander Wang. However, the new take on the trend is a far cry from the navy textiles and brass button combo of past seasons. Instead, jackets in khaki hues are ubiquitous - both on the high street and in designer collections. Team an army-green military blazer with denim cut-offs, tuck in an oversized cream shirt, add Military booties and sling on a plaited-strap satchel. Incorporate swallow studs as a nod to the navy, and revel in the fact that you are totally on-trend in your military garb.

Although it's arguably too early to be stocking up on winter attire, shearling aviator jackets - which were seen draped all over the Burberry models at London Fashion Week - are set to be big news this autumn. Every fashionista with an ounce of sense is scouring boutiques and online stores to score the 'it' jacket of next season. This Acne offering deviates from the typical tan and brown leather often associated with aviator jackets, and as such looks best paired with statement accessories - think lace-up ankle boots, a slouchy bag and a boyfriend watch. Vintage stores are also brimming with aviator-esque jackets, so if your budget is more Primark than Prada, there is still no excuse not to be sky high in the style stakes next season.

Pale pinks, nudes, and washed-out greys scream ballerina chic. Admittedly, this tee/skinny jean combo would look great teamed with a boatman shoe or studded flat; instead I've added black leather accessories with gold hardware to toughen the look. The Gian Marco Lorenzi boots encapsulate several of this season's footwear trends into one mighty boot - studs, fringing, platform. Overkill? Possibly.

This patent Luella Gisele tote is at the top of my Christmas list. I already own this and have used it to death. Luella designs my favourite bags, particularly the Gisele series; slightly less conspicuous than the Mulberry Bayswater they are classic without being too classic.
