CHANGE is in the air and for once we're not talking about the referendum.

We've made up our mind. It's a No vote for uncomfortable styles and a firm Yes vote for stylish solutions for staying cosy as we wave goodbye to summer and welcome in autumn.

Glasgow-based Quiz Clothing seems to concur with a hot off the press selection of on trend pieces that work well in the urban environment, but would transfer effortlessly to country walks or morning strolls in the park.

Let's celebrate, as staying cosy is looking very cool this season.

There are a variety of options to look forward to, with bold plaids to the fore.

For the city, wear a cropped sweater and sprayed-on rock star biker trousers topped off with chunky soled boots for the ultimate in leg-lengthening appeal.

Parkas are back and can be worn dressed up or down.

Certainly if there is one pull-on piece every woman should have in her wardrobe, it's this youth-quake classic which has transcended its Mod roots to become a bona fide no-brainer when the weather turns chilly.

Also making a stealthy return is the padded jacket, this time in comforting caramel tones, belted and with a generous fur-trimmed hood/collar.

It has shed some of it's hip-hop provenance and garnered more of that Milanese stealth wealth understated luxury quality encapsulated by Armani Jeans and Prada Sport.

Ponchos and capes are perhaps the most on trend items to invest in this season.

Blanket monogrammed versions at Burberry Prorsum have placed them high on the fashion agenda and given them a cool edge over the other cover-up competition.

Great transition pieces to layer on as the baromoter falls.
