It's never been a more exciting time to be an Australian subscriber to a streaming service. Especially this coming winter when the major fashion trends, according to David Jones, will be catering to those who enjoy staying in to binge-watch TV and not a lot else. While activewear has infiltrated our style consciousness over past seasons, inactivewear will be the new black when the mercury drops. Think oversized coats, relaxed silhouettes and cosy fabrics for men and women.

Coats that could moonlight as tents
For women, the bigger the coat the better. Long-line coats like the ones usually seen on characters in period dramas and '90s slasher films will be a staple – Camilla and Marc's floor-length trench perfectly encapsulates the Victorian mood while Camilla's bold printed versions will add some pep to overcast days. Remember the snuggie? Well, thankfully, it's not back but Jac + Jack's billowing jackets and Sabatini's oversized knits come close for those looking for chic comfort.
Jumpsuits as seen at Studio 54
When shopping around for an adult onesie for winter think "What would Bianca Jagger do?". Carla Zampatti has embraced velvet, with a cut out neckline for that modern twist. Michael Lo Sordo's silk, wide-legged offerings in rich tones of forest green and navy will take you effortlessly from the bedroom to the black tie ball.
Blouses from Downton Abbey
If it's good enough for the Dowager Countess, it's good enough for 2016. Necklines will be modestly high and sleeves will be long and lacy thanks to Zimmermann's Victorian-esque creations. To add an edge combine with a tuxedo jacket with tails by Strateas.Carlucci.
Don Johnson's pants
The length of men's pants has been creeping higher over recent years but for winter no one's calves will be safe from the cold. Your Apple Watch won't be deceiving you when it says it's 2016 as you begin to see Calibre's salmon-hued capris inspired by the '80s walking your way.
Suits jackets you can see from space
Channel Bowie and be adventurous with colour and luxurious fabrications. Ruby velvet blazers and silver sequinned double-breasted jackets by Jack London will be coming to a charity gala near you.
