JUST LANDED: YOUR WINTER CLOSET REFRESH

Cleanse your palette from festive glitz with bold shapes, clean colours and spring-ready pattern

SKIRT AROUND

When your top half is swaddled in chunky knits and scarves during the winter, let your bottom half do the talking, courtesy of an eye-catching skirt. We love this green slip style, which would look just as great with a black camisole for a New Year’s Eve party as it does with this cream cashmere knit. With the polka dot trend set to continue through 2020, a skirt is an easy way to wear the look. Pop a bright, patterned roll neck under your plain sweater for a splash of colour above the collar.


PRINT RUN

The festive period might be all about Nordic knits and reindeer-print pajamas, but you can still buy a few pieces to wear now that will also tap into next year’s trends. In Spring, we’ll have a cleaner, more graphical approach to pattern, with abstract florals and spots taking the sartorial lead. This green and white floral print is an eye-catching, contemporary way to wear your blooms, and is available as a dress, blouse or skirt. Team with bold basics, from a classic trench coat to a beautiful belt.



FINER DETAILS

Even when you’re wrapped up against the chill, there are plenty of ways to add interest to your outfits this season. Look for knitwear with unusual details such as the criss-cross yarn on this green sweater, or layer a knitted hooded sweater (coming soon) under a blazer for a cool high/low mix. Accessories can also play a part, whether you give one of this season’s on-trend hats a whirl, or black ankle boots with eye-catching detail.
