Get the Look: your how-to guide

WILLIAM OLIVER

From the Style & Living team

January and February are always difficult. The weather is bleak, the festive hangover is still present and work is busy as we catch up on everything we avoided in December. But rather than succumbing to the blues, update your wardrobe and inject some colour and confidence into your look

DOWNTIME UPGRADED

Off-duty dressing is just as important as your office-ready attire. When the weather is cold and grey, adding a pop of colour is a clever quick-fix to reinvigorate your outfit

WORK WARDROBE

The start of a new year is the perfect time for a workwear
refresh. Rather than sticking with the traditional, add some
colour, pattern and print to your look to show you mean business

smart-casual outfit to add
a pop of personality

GREAT OUTDOORS

If you invest in one thing this winter, make it a coat.
Far from being a one-season wonder, hard-working
outerwear will become your go-to staple year
after year

jacket was made for layering
over knitwear, and adds an

by mariners, is sharp enough to wear
with a suit and makes a striking
smart-casual piece
