Winter is a season of giving, and 2011 is no exception to that. As the festive season creeps closer and closer, there are gifts to be found, whether for friends, family or oneself. Here are just three of winter 2011's must-have pieces for every woman's wardrobe.
Firstly, the winter greatcoat is a must-have for the high-octane forties glamour that has been huge this season. As one of winter 2011's biggest trends, New York Fashion Week saw an iteration of the piece on almost every catwalk collection, from the most demure of continental fashion houses to the most modest ladieswear wholesalers and wholesale clothing manufacturers. Designers this season have made a refreshing take on these sumptuous coats, matching them with this season's neutral palette and luxurious fur detailing. Fur cuffs on wool coats have made multiple appearances on the catwalk and the high street, as well in the collections of a variety of wholesale clothing manufacturers. Meanwhile, the use of fur collars on winter coats is becoming more and more popular, just as it is on the classically elegant evening dresses that have also turned heads this season.
Secondly, what is forties glamour without a demure strand of pearls draped across the neck? The choker is an elegant trend among jewellery designers this season, and one that is likely to continue. Donna Karan's collection led wholesale clothing manufacturers and ladieswear wholesalers alike when she created the definitive choker for the season, again harking back to 40's glamour with pearls gilding the neckline of her models; timelessly glamourous and undeniably chic. Meanwhile, glamour veterans Yves Saint Laurent blew the competition away doing what they do best, with a collection of stunning pieces in striking gold. Like so much this winter, chokers hold an elegant sophistication that could only be dreamed of two years ago.adieswear wholesalers and wholesale clothing manufacturers.

Perfecting a look of winter chic is infamously harder to pull off than it looks, but this season's knee-high boots have been championed by high-fashion designers, wholesale clothing manufacturers and ladieswear wholesalers alike as a simple and easy solution for every woman's winter style desires, with instant winter chic. At Prada, a collection of glamorous graphic tees paired with knee-high boots in dazzling snakeskin showed designers flexing their creative muscles. Meanwhile, Gucci's catwalk boasted throwback elegance with contributions of knee-high boots paired with fur coats, sumptuous and volumious for an image of timeless luxury, romance and sultry sophistication, all toned in the season's understated neutral palette.
