As Seen on Instagram: Winter Outfit Ideas

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.

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.
