RED-DY TO GO ACCESSORIES

Belts are also hot this season. Wallis' red mock croc bow belt, £10 (15 Euros), and Accessorize's slim leather obi, £20 (29.90 Euros), will liven up a black dress or an all-black outfit.

As the weather gradually gets colder, you can hot up the temperature by wearing a vivid red hat. Berets are a perennial classic, so add some Parisian chic with Oasis' felt brooch beret, £12, Next's felt beret,£7.99 (12 Euros), or Warehouse's fluffy bakerboy cap, £12 (18 Euros).

Accessorize's knitted beret, £10 (14.90 Euros), and Miss Selfridge's bobble knit beret, £14 (21 Euros), have a chunkier knit for a casual look. Or combine the masculine trend with this one with John Lewis' angora trilby hat, £15.

And give your outfit that final flourishing touch with Mad About Jewellery's big, bold and beautiful ruby-red Sauvage cuff, £34.99 - gorgeous for a blast of colour.
