Looking to liven up your winter wardrobe with something new and fashion-forward? As the party season approaches, we're on the lookout for accessories that'll add that little extra sparkle to any outfit. Enter Russell & Bromley's new autumn/winter collection. The newest launch from the family-owned British luxury brand is brimming with premium leather bags, perfect party heels and creative takes on favourite staples such as loafers and ankle boots.
The word 'timeless' is thrown around a lot in fashion, but these high-quality shoes and bags prove that statement and investment don't have to be mutually exclusive. Plus, they're versatile enough to take you from work in the office to your weekend plans. If you're looking for a piece that'll both catch the eye and stand the test of time, here's where you'll find it – these are some of our favourites.
The strappy sandals
If you're as excited about the looks snapped on the set of Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie as we are (and we're very excited), these are the shoes for you. Square-toed, chunky-heeled, green bejeweled sandals? Barbie herself would be proud to step out in these. Worn with an oversized suit for winter and a strappy sundress for summer, these are a vital addition to any wardrobe regardless of season.
YEAHBABY+, Strappy Flared Heel PlatformThe chunky pink heels
Christmas parties mean dancing, and if you're planning on spending the whole night on your feet, you're going to want something a little sturdier than a sky-high stiletto. Say goodbye to aching feet for good with these perfect pumps. The electric pink satin and chunky heel are like the ballet slipper's older, cooler sister, whilst the clever platform and even cleverer construction (like all Russell & Bromley shoes, these were made in Italy) mean they're comfortable enough to wear all night (and all day) long.
FLAWLESS, Extreme PlatformThe on-trend cowboy boots
Cowboy boots are coming back with a vengeance this autumn/winter season, and Russell & Bromley have a whole saloon's worth for you to choose from. The brand's latest collection features everything from traditional suede embroidered with Western designs to knee-length fringed affairs, but we've totally fallen for these Italian-made boots. A textural croc print adds a striking visual twist to the usual Western silhouette, and these will take you from the office to the chicest cocktail bar with ease. We'll be throwing our lasso out for this pair.
SALOON, Knee High WesternThe sparkling sequin sock boots
If you ask us, it's never too early to start planning your Christmas party looks, and these boots are a great place to start. Layers of overlapping gold sequins, a pointed toe, and a distinctive flared heel – what's not to love? Striking as they are, they're also surprisingly versatile for such a statement piece. Not only can you pair them with a sleek black dress for the work do and a wide-legged jumpsuit for a New Year's Eve outfit that'll even outdo the fireworks, but they're also perfect for jazzing up a classic pair of jeans for a festive pub night with friends.
STARS, Sequin Sock Boot41 best Christmas party dresses for 2023The bejewelled mesh boots
A slinky black sock boot studded with a galaxy of gold rhinestones = perfect party footwear. Crafted from a specially-made mesh fabric, this rockstar-style heel is a high-quality, high-fashion addition to any winter outfit. They're designed to be as durable as they are dazzling, so you won't be leaving a trail of jewels behind you – rather, you'll be pulling this little treasure out of your wardrobe for years to come every time a fancy dinner or party invitation drops into your inbox.
STARGAZE, Round Toe Sock BootThe block heel boots
A statement piece doesn't have to mean bright colour. Interesting finishing touches and quirky flourishes are your best friend if you favour the monochrome look. The chunky platform of this black ankle boot fits the brief perfectly – unusual enough to set it apart in your wardrobe, and subtle enough to remain wearable year after year. Plus, they'll take you anywhere from a day in the office to a casual catch-up at the pub to a cocktail party. If you're looking for a versatile investment buy to add to your wardrobe this season, this is it.
WEBSTER, Round Toe BootThe essential black tote
It's easy to see why this leather bag is named the ‘Icon’. It's the perfect combination of slouchy and structured; big enough to carry all your work necessities (yes, even a laptop) but sleek and lightweight enough that it won't feel cumbersome on an evening out. The top handles and removable chunky chain mean it'll look just as stylish dangling from your wrist or slung over a shoulder. Effortlessly chic and high quality, it'll take you from season to season every year.
ICON, Chain East/West Grab BagThe boucle loafers
It seems that every haute couture house has been sending loafers down the runway for autumn/winter 2022. You've probably already got a variation of this reliable style in your wardrobe, but if you're looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, Russell & Bromley have you covered. Their Cleopatra is available in black leather, patent croc print, brown suede and vibrant red, but our favourite is this monochrome boucle. It's a chic interpretation of the classic shape, with neat black piping and a bold three-ring chain to really set off the patterned fabric. Snap up this scholarly style to pair with smart black trousers or distressed jeans and wait for the compliments to pour in.
CLEOPATRA, 3 Ring LoaferThe retro knee-high boots
The '70s are back, and there's no better way to get into the glam rock spirit than to step into these seriously impressive boots. They're the kind of thing David Bowie would have worn in his heyday – bold lipstick-red with a retro rounded toe and a towering platform puts these firmly in the 'must-have' category. Pair them with your most daring minidresses for warm legs even through the winter months, all while looking like the coolest cat around. See you on the dancefloor.
