    From party dresses, to workwear Phase Eight have all the key new season trends ticked...

    This is a Marie Claire advertorial.

    We have already confessed our love for the new autumn/winter 2016 collection from Phase Eight, but to help you shop the key piece from the collection, we ve narrowed down our top 10 hero buys from the range for building the ultimate winter capsule wardrobe.

    Military styles are the key coat trend this season, and the Caterina Crombie Coat is our dream buy. Our Acting Executive Fashion Director Hannah wore hers with jeans and a white shirt for a stylish but easy daytime look .

    The 70s are also back with a bang, so check out our Acting Junior Fashion Editor Abi s favourite corduroy jeggings; they're the perfect way to tick off this trend in a subtle and chic way.

    Anyone who loves dressing up, but hates wearing dress, will adore the Alannis Jumpsuit. Cool enough to wear to dressy events and parties, but versatile enough to pair with flat loafers and a blazer for work, it s the type of hard-working wardrobe staple that is worth investing in.
