Top 10 new season buys for under £50 – in pictures

New Season under £50: Dorothy Perkins
Simon says: 'This autumn/winter season is officially embracing hot, bright colours, such as this open stitch knit. Best of all, orange is the headline colour from the current spring 2012 fashion shows in New York, which means this has two-season potential.'

New Season under £50: Monsoon
Simon says: 'Gloves from elbow-long to wrist-short finished off many autumn show outfits. In reality, short ones are clearly the easiest to wear. This suede pair are a winner because 1) they're a bit Downton Abbey and 2) they tick those 1940s trend boxes. Rejoice.'

New Season under £50: All Saints
Simon says: 'Pencil skirts may seem forever in style but at certain times they come to the fore and epitomise the direction of fashion. This autumn/winter is one of those times. Invest.'
AllSaints, £40 (Buy)

New Season under £50: Tommy Hilfiger
Simon says: 'Basically, wearing something in a shade of burgundy – known in the biz as "boozy colours" – gives your wardrobe an instant new season polish.'

New Season under £50: Oasis
Simon says: 'This monochrome long-sleeve top would look stark and graphic tucked into a new season pencil skirt. For bonus catwalk points (and warmth) layer a black polo neck underneath.'
Oasis, £20 (Buy)

New Season under £50: Topshop
Simon says: 'A shirt dress is ideal for daytime or work, plus you can catwalk it up with some ski pants and then totes nod to the tunic-trouser trend. Result.'
Topshop, £36.00 (Buy)

New Season under £50: New Look boots
Simon Says: 'This season, Chanel is all about a brooding boyish look complete with flat boots. These are ideal for getting the look at a major fraction of the catwalk price. Wear with thick fisherman socks.'
New Look, £20 (Buy)

New Season under £50: Oasis
Simon says: 'Cropped trousers are the perfect way to show off a pair of heeled courts, which is very much an accessory look inspired by the ever influential Parisian label Céline and therefore a good thing.'
Oasis, £45 (Buy)

New Season under £50: Orange Clutch
Simon Says: 'Envelope clutch bags aren't perhaps the most practical of daytime baggage but they give swish to work meetings and cocktail hour.'
Accessorize, £45 (Buy)

New Season under £50: Topshop
Simon Says: 'After a period in the accessory wilderness, 1990s-style choker necklaces are staging a definite comeback alongside short collar-style pieces'.
Topshop, £30.00 (Buy)
