WARDROBE REMIX:
HOW TO STYLE EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS
This season's wardrobe heroes are anything but basic. Refresh your go-to looks with these easy styling tips, from adding light layers to wearing standout accessories
Layer it up
Layering can make even the most tried-and-tested outfits feel brand new and is a clever way to get more mileage out of your basics. Choose tonal pieces for a relaxed but pulled together feel: we think this knitted zip-up jacket is the perfect layering hero. Wear underneath our padded Thermowarmth coat to beat January's fiercest chills.
A pair of wide-leg jeans in dark or mid-wash indigo denim is another versatile layering piece; finish with a pair of suede slip-on clogs teamed with cosy ribbed thermal socks.
Upgrade your coat
Take a forward-looking approach to casual dressing by swapping your dark wool overcoat for a lighter coat on milder days. Update a simple T-shirt and casual trousers outfit by adding an on-point bomber jacket. Finish the look with a pair of eye-catching white trainers.
If you're in the market for a new trouser silhouette for spring, we rate these khaki cargo trousers which feature a streamlined, tapered leg for a sharper look. Or try a pair of straight-leg jeans in an authentic, vintage-look denim; try rolling up the cuffs and wearing with eye-catching ribbed socks and penny loafers for a preppy take on cold-weather style.
Make it (colour) pop
Switching your kids go-to comfy loungewear for a vibrant new set is a quick and easy way to eke more mileage out of failsafe outfits – we have our eyes on these relaxed-fit hoodies and joggers that can be worn multiple ways. They're also ultra comfy, made with breathable fabric that helps keep youngsters stay warm without overheating when running about. Wear together for maximum impact or mix and match with T-shirts, jeans and skirts. Once the weather has turned a corner, retire their trusty winter boots in favour of a fresh pair of trainers. This season's kids' sneakers are all about distinctive details that add a retro-cool touch to any outfit.
