New year, new looks from Ted Baker

EMBRACING a New Year is always a bit like turning over a new leaf, and that's particularly true in terms of style. If you're looking for a fashion upgrade, the Ted Baker collection is worth more than a second look. It's grown-up and sophisticated, but at the same time fun and funky. According to the blurb, the current collection harks back to the core values of Ted Baker - 'playful detailing, exquisite cuts and unwavering attention to detail'. Sale items are sure to fly off the rails and if you're looking for some serious investment pieces, there is no better time to check out the Ted Baker selection at Brown Thomas. Smart pieces like skirts, jackets and coats are worth splashing out on, as are the gorgeous accessories that will add several style points to your look as you sashay into Spring. Create a colour burst with shirts and dresses in cobalt blues, cocktail pinks and absinth greens, which will add interest and a high fashion edge to staple blacks, greys and navys. The collection is bang up to the minute with mohair cropped jackets, silk jumpsuits and velvet dresses. If outdoor chic is more your thing, there are gorgeously quirky knitted pieces in funky textures and shapes, such as a grey marl cape. In jackets and coats, silhouettes are sharp with exaggerated shoulders and clean lines. For those who dare, there are bodycon dresses and leather trousers panelled with jersey. Ted Baker is also synonymous with quality and the ideal way to invest in your style credentials for 2011.
