Fashion news 21 August 2008

With summer seemingly already at an end (indeed, did it ever really get started?), thoughts are restlessly turning towards a winter wardrobe, and the coats and boots that so joyously make up the components therein. One of the best brands for these pieces, in terms of quality and affordability, is certainly Thomas Burberry, Burberry's diffusion line. Two styles from the label will this season be stocked exclusively at SoleTrader, the high street shoe store. One, a pair of nearly knee-high chunky leather boots in the perfect shade of chestnut brown (£100), come with a stacked wooden heel, and gold metal zips running down the  inside and outside of the calf, as well as a natty gold hook clasp. The other style is a black leather biker boot (£90), with a thick heel, gold stud detailing on the label, and quilting around the ankle.  Available from early September in-store and online later in the month, they're the perfect way to get started on your winter wardrobe.
