1 BOOTS

“A great boot is such a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe. Elevating your daytime look, a knee-high boot can be worn both under a skirt or with your favourite jeans – then transform into evening chic with the right accessories. As an added bonus, it keeps your feet nice and warm in the colder months. The decision is what colour – if you want to go for something more trend-led now’s the time to opt for burgundy.”

2 TURTLENECK

“Consider your basics: a quality turtleneck is the real secret to looking stylish, as well as braving the cold throughout the winter months. Throw it under a blazer, under a shirt, or with your favourite jeans, and you are pretty much ready to go. It’s instant sophistication and style.”

3 BLAZER

“Every outfit in winter needs an extra layer, but not always a chunky coat. What I love about a good blazer is that you can be in leggings and a messy bun – but add this piece and suddenly you’re ‘casually powerful.’ It’s a great transitional staple that you can wear all year round, and something that I don’t see leaving our wardrobes anytime soon.”

4 DENIM

“We all need at least one good pair of jeans that are our true heroes. We can wear them in the day with boots or trainers, but we can also throw on a little heel and go for dinner. Jeans are so important to fit right and feel great in, as they are almost your foundation of every outfit – and you can wear them in so many ways. They’re timeless, versatile and survive all trends.”

5 SCARF

“A winter must for me is an oversized scarf. I don’t like to wear too many layers, as I want my outfit to be chic and polished, so a scarf is the perfect touch that can be removed when you arrive and you can avoid getting too hot. It’s an easy way to inject colour and fun into any outfit, and if you want to dip your toes in the colour of the season this is the perfect place to start.”
