WINTER OUTFIT IDEAS

Power up your winter wardrobe with these Instagram-approved cold-weather outfits, as seen on our M&S Insiders

Master easy layering with a knitted vest

As M&S Insider Sam knows, a sweater vest ticks all the boxes when it comes to cold-weather dressing. Cosy yet effortlessly stylish, this versatile piece adds much-needed extra warmth to your favourite tops and winter dresses. Steal Sam’s style by wearing this moss-green knitted vest with a striped top for weekend dressing. The best bit? You can roll up the funnel neck for extra snugness when an icy chill hits. Smarten up the look for work or evenings out by swapping the striped top with a floral-print blouse and brogues. You won’t know what you did without a knitted vest in your wardrobe.

Put a twist on your tailoring

M&S Insider Dan gives us a masterclass in smart-casual dressing with this modern take on tailoring. Swapping a more conventional shirt or T-shirt with a hoodie lends this pinstripe blazer and matching trousers a casual edge – plus, the outfit is cold weather ready. By matching the light stripes in the suit with a layering piece in a similar tone, Dan gives his look some extra polish. Dial up the cosiness by teaming it with a knitted hoodie and finish the outfit with simple white trainers. Who said suits are only for special occasions?

Try a bold winter floral print

Prints are back with a bang this winter, as spotted on our M&S Insider Caley. Her Autograph midi dress is the perfect winter dress; we’re tempted to make it our Christmas Day outfit. A flared skirt, scarf neckline and long sleeves make this an elegant choice for all the festive get-togethers in your diary. If you feel the cold – we certainly do – layer it over our clever Heatgen thermal top and wear it with extra-warm tights. Complete the look with a tailored coat and heeled boots and you’ll be ready to swish into party season.

Look sophisticated in winter whites

A classic car coat is a stylish take on winter outerwear. M&S Insider Rob shows us how to put a contemporary twist on this wardrobe staple, plus make white work for winter, by pairing it with ecru jeans and Chelsea boots. We’re big fans of this knitted polo shirt, an elevated spin on a menswear essential. Several shades of this extra-fine merino wool polo shirt have already found their way into our baskets. Take a leaf out of Rob’s book and go for a head-to-toe tonal look – neutrals are always a winner – for an on-trend cold-weather outfit.
