HOW TO:
BREAK OUT OF A WINTER STYLE RUT
Already tired of the same coat, jumper and jeans style formula every day? Try these winter outfit ideas to switch up your cold-weather wardrobe
Choose mood-boosting hues
A wear-with-anything coat is the bread and butter of any outfit this season. Instantly transform your go-to winter outfits by introducing a bright-coloured overcoat to the rotation. It’ll elevate all-black ensembles and put a smile on your face (and any passersby), too. Try a yellow coatigan worn over your favourite hoodie and skinny jeans for a fresh take on weekend outfitting.
Make the most of your midi
Although the mercury might continue to dip, there’s no need to cast our beloved midi dresses and pleated skirts aside just yet – try layering yours with a snug hoodie instead for a fresh winter outfit idea. It’s all about the layers when the weather outside is unpredictable, and this look nails it for comfort, style and ease. A candy-coloured hoodie teamed with a floral skirt and lace-up boots ticks all the boxes this winter.
Play with layers
Ease into back-to-the-office dressing by layering collared jackets and blazers with warm pieces from your everyday edit. Not only is this a practical winter outfit idea for staying cosy outside of your home office but it’s also a clever way to eke more wear out of the outerwear that only got a week’s use back in early autumn. This longline navy popover jacket with a notched lapel looks effortlessly chic teamed with a frill-neck blouse and grey jeans.
Let your accessories do the talking
Not only is an oversized scarf the perfect blanket replacement for commutes and winter days out, but it also makes a chic style statement of its own. Draw all the attention to your winter outfit plus-ones with this fluffy scarf in lemon yellow and its matching hat. For a devil-may-care attitude, swing one end over your shoulder. Or tie it in a simple knot at the front for ultimate comfort.
