Hot Looks For Winter

(CBS)  Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, came to The Early Show to show off some of her favorite winter fashion trends.

This season she said there are plenty of things to suit everyone's taste from bold red to classic tweeds. Coles said no one has to sacrifice their style for warmth: there are plenty of comfortable and fashionable styles out there.

Trend No. 1: Taking a cue from the ski slopes

Keep warm with wooly tights, thick sweaters and vests with faux fur trim. A sweater dress is a great option to avoid pants dragging in the snow. Wedge boots are a great alternative to tired Ugg boots and the pom pom detail makes the boots extra cute.

Ivory sweater dress $39.50, from Uniglo.

Ivory nylon vest $69.50, from American Eagle.

Ivory wedge boots $300, from Juicy Couture

Trend No. 2: Dark romantic

This season, the Goth look is modified for a more moody romantic look, not a scary look. The look is a little bit Victorian and a little bit rock 'n' roll. To avoid looking like a character from the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" wear solid black with pretty feminine lace and edgy black booties. Coles says keep your face pretty and fresh and avoid dark makeup.

Black dress with lace trim $86, from MEXX

Black satin dress $69.50, from Express

Black booties $49.99, from Nine West

Trend No. 3: English country

This trend is perfect for the dead of winter. Tweed keeps away the cold while still looking posh. To avoid looking like you are attending an equestrian show, pair this tweed with modern skinny jeans and boots with a small heel. The Maxx Studio cape is a great alternative to a winter coat and is perfect to wear over multiple winter layers.

Tweed plaid cape $248, from Maxstudio.com.

Ivory blouse $14.90, from H&M

Brown skinny jeans $68, from Levis

Brown riding boots $198, from Banana Republic

Trend No. 4: Red

The color red ruled the runway this season. This hue, formerly reserved for evening wear, is now daytime appropriate in soft wools or flowing fabrics. If your winter wardrobe is dull, spruce it up with a great red dress or coat. Wear red with a patent pump.

Red wool crepe dress $320, from Chaiken

Black patent pumps $89, from Jessica Simpson

Trend No. 5: Volume

This season there was a resurgence of big clothes on the runway at shows like Balenciaga and Miu Miu. A great way to wear a puffy skirt is with a turtleneck or form-fitting top. Another trick for the volume mini skirt is to wear opaque tights and platform shoes, which elongate the leg and gives a leaner line to your figure. Wear this look for an evening out or for a work dinner.

Black knit turtleneck $59, from J.Lo

Black/navy brocade skirt $68, from Urban Outfitters

< Black platforms $275, from Stuart Weitzman

These clothes were great and I would have loved to purchase some of them the only problem is none of them were online so unless you live in New York ( Uniqlo, not with a g by the way) where these stores are located then you can just forget about it. This was such a dissapointment.
