HOW LAW ROACH STYLED OUR WINTER COVER SHOOT

Law Roach might’ve been busy sourcing Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels, but he’s never strayed far from ASOS HQ. Our Stylist In Residence is here to style our winter cover shoot, and between the velvet, animal print and pops of bright pink, it’s shaping up to be our biggest season yet.

We snuck onto the set of our winter cover shoot and got all the details from Law himself, as he styled cover stars Ziwe and Olivia Neill in head-to-toe ASOS. Whether it’s Ziwe’s clashing animal-print co-ord or Olivia’s carousel of faux-fur jackets, here's our guide to winter dressing below. Infuse everyday looks with the latest trends, embrace your individual style, and prepare to get your very own Law Roach treatment.

If there’s one piece of advice Law can give you this winter season, it’s that ‘animal prints are a neutral’. And if confirmation from the world’s greatest stylist isn’t enough to convince you, just look at the proof. Law did not come to play when styling our ASOS Magazine winter cover stars, pulling clashing zebra and leopard print for Ziwe’s bold two-piece.

While they may be vibrant, these wild patterns are ultimately timeless – cropping up on runways season after season. That gives them a unique power: they feel maximalist and minimalist all at once. Law’s tip is to lean in. Don’t be afraid to double up with head-to-toe pieces like this floor-length zebra dress. The key is utilising simple silhouettes and letting the print bring the party.

If there was ever an excuse to wear more sparkle, it’s winter. We need to compensate for the lack of sunlight after all. And all that partying calls for a little something… extra. ‘I like to think of it as razzle dazzle,’ says Law, styling cover star Olivia Neill in a gold embellished mini skirt. From sequins to glitter and beads, these vivacious textures instantly dial up the energy in an outfit. And lest we forget the feet – ‘there’s always time for a pop of colour on a shoe,’ Law adds. Whether you stick with one bold shade or double up with extra jewel details, heels are a go-to if you’re adapting trusty pieces for party season.

It can be easy to get lost in all the festive prep and planning, but winter is ultimately a time for having fun. You’ll have more chances to get together with loved ones, and plenty of excuses to get dressed up. So embrace it. ‘Festive, fun and fabulous. Those are the feelings you want to conjure with your winter looks,’ says Law. Rules need not apply. Of course, a few styling tips are great if you’re feeling lost on the wardrobe front – but don’t let them limit you. If you feel good in something, you’ll look good in it, too. So layer the sequins, throw on the extra high heels, and finish your night-out look with a faux-fur flourish. When else will you have a reason to go all-out?
