Sometimes it’s the little things about your outfit that make all the difference, and when it comes to handbags, there are more ways to get it wrong that you might think. Before you go shopping for handbags at Debenhams.com, bear these few tips in mind to ensure you pick a winner:

Pick a bag that suits your shape
The shape and size bag, as well as where it falls, can affect your silhouette. For a full figure, go for bigger bags in a solid colour – small handbags can over-emphasise a larger frame. If you want to add curves to your figure, look for a slouchier hobo bag with details like tassels and straps.

It’s also important to consider where the bag falls on your body, as this is where it will draw attention – so make sure it’s flattering! For the pear or hourglass figure, seek out something with a short strap that falls around the upper bust to add volume to your upper body. Ladies with narrow hips tend to look better with a longer bag that finishes just below the waist.

Think colours
Your handbag should complement what you’re wearing – so if you’re going with neutral shades or black, pick something colourful, and vice versa if you want your outfit to be the focal point. A bright ensemble can be toned down with a plain brown or black bag.

It’s usually best to pick a patterned bag if your clothes are solid colours, but if you do want to mix and match patterns, make sure you’re using the same colour palette throughout. Choosing a bag that’s the same colour and fabric as your shoes is also a tried-and-tested way to make sure the outfit is balanced.

Style matters
Whether you’re trendy, classic, slouchy or dressy, you need to pick the right handbags to match. If you’re dressing up, you can go for an eye-catching bag, but make sure it’s as classy as your outfit – details like studs or clasps can make a black leather bag stand out without overdoing it. Alternatively, if you’re a fan of the bohemian look, seek out something retro in suede, patchwork or floral print.

Most ladies keep a wide range of bags in their wardrobe so they’re ready for any occasion – there are so many styles, fabrics and colours to choose from, you’ll never be stuck for inspiration!

1)Duffle coat
The number one choice of Paddington Bear is a classic style that will never go out of fashion. Warm and practical, the Duffle coat is a solid choice when the weather turns chilly and you need to keep out the cold.

2)Poncho
Although not strictly a coat, the poncho has been a popular outerwear choice this year, mainly due to its versatile nature. Great for layering over knitwear, the poncho and it’s fashionable cousin the shawligan have been the failsafe of many during this mild winter.

3)Quilted coat
Although in some minds this may spark visions of puffa jackets, in fact the quilted coat or jacket has taken on a far more sophisticated look this season. Drawing influence from the country gentleman trend, look out for quilted jackets in black and dark green that take inspiration from hunting jackets.

4)Faux fur jacket
Animal print coats seem to return every winter – after all, there’s something very luxurious about wearing faux fur when there’s a blanket of snow outside. This year, faux fox fur joined leopard print as a staple choice for those wanting to inject a bit of seasonal glamour into their look.

5)Princess coat
One of the smarter choices for winter is the tailored Pricess coat, which is favoured by many celebrities including Alexa Cheung and Pixie Geldof. These woollen coats are usually double breasted and give a smart appearance, though their short midi length allows for greater flexibility than some longer length wool coats.

When overheated and tired it’s difficult to look your best, but most good quality workout clothing combine both style and functionality, helping you to look the best you possibly can while helping you to maximise your performance. You might want to start by buying a pair of Lacoste trainers at JD Sports, or another pair of suitable footwear. Your training shoes are arguably the most important part of your workout wardrobe and it is important to get a pair of trainers that fit you properly and one that you feel comfortable in, as failure to do so could leave you open to risk of injury.

Different designs of sports footwear incorporate different features and, depending what your priorities are, you might want to opt for a pair that are designed for stability such as the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6. If comfort is a top priority, you might want to go with the New Balance 1060, which are tight-fitting and have a special built-in material that is made to soften the contact between foot and sole. Alternatively, if you want to run your fastest on the running track, the Nike Air Zoom Vomero may be the best option for you. These trainers are made from ultra-lightweight fabrics and are designed to get those pins working

Another essential piece of sportswear for women is the sports bra – your regular, everyday bra just isn’t enough! Whether you have a generous or a modest bust, you need a sports bra to support both the chest and back areas and to avoid any back, neck or shoulder strain where possible.

You will also need to get a few tank tops and pants or shorts to complete your outfit. Whatever cut you go for, they should be breathable, moisture-wicking and – once again – comfortable. These features will help keep you cool and dry, helping you to push yourself further during your training session.

Women know how important shoes and trainers are for an outfit. Whether you’re buying your boots from Karen Millen, your Adidas Originals at Size or your perfect heels from Jimmy Choo, you need to take care of what you have on your feet, otherwise you could find yourself buying replacements instead of expanding your collection. Here are some great tips to ensure that you don’t go through the heartache of losing a great pair of shoes in the future!

Rotation, rotation, rotation
Rotating your shoes from day to day is one of the simplest and most effective ways to ensure you don’t find them wearing out too soon. If you end up having a couple of days where they go long distances, let them rest for a while, in case the fabric or leather is weakened.

Clean shoes often
Whenever you wear your shoes outdoors, cleaning them when you get home is the best idea as it stops dirt getting too deep into the material, or staining them forever. Dirt and other particles can build up, so get hold of a brush and go at them carefully. Be sure to follow instructions from the manufacturer or at least material-specific tips so you don’t inadvertently use the wrong product and ruin them even more.

Suede + water = no-no
Suede shoes should never be worn if there’s a good chance that they’ll get wet in one way or another. If you do end up getting them dirty, avoid applying water – use an eraser to remove dirt or simply get a dry toothbrush to scrub it away. Just don’t brush your teeth with the same one afterwards!

Air dry your wet shoes
If your shoes, boots or trainers get wet after an accidental foot in a puddle or a heavy rain shower, let them air dry. Don’t try to speed up this process by putting them near a radiator, or by using a hair dryer, because this can make fabrics shrink or cause leather to become brittle and crack. With trainers, it may be worth stuffing a tea towel or newspaper inside them to soak up excess water.

Avoid pungent pongs developing
Smelly shoes are a woeful prospect for any self-respecting woman, but this possibility is easily-preventable. All you need to do it put them on a shoe tree in a well-ventilated room or pop a dash of talcum powder inside. If you use dryer sheets to make your things smell nice after using the machine, these can also be reused afterwards and popped inside a shoe for a more agreeable aroma.
