Statement, chunky knitwear is going to be key this season, writes Amanda Griffiths. Lighter knits, layered under the tunic dress and worn with thick tights and boots will be a key trend to watch out for too; invest in a furry trimmed gilet for the ultimate in cosy style.

'Knitwear features heavily in our autumn/winter collection from light knits to luxury cashmere; tank tops to chunky winter cardigans. Masai tunics are perfect for layering with cotton basics, warm knitwear, leggings and boots.'Angela Schofield, EQ Woman, Clitheroe
