Winter dressing is all about great layering—it’s the best way to stay cosy and warm, and looks ultra chic at the same time. A lot of chain stores are doing their autumn/winter drops right now and there’s definitely plenty of gems to snap up. I recently collaborated with Witchery and uncovered some great winter staples to take me through the next few months. The lynchpin of any great winter look is a gorgeous coat. This longline herringbone blazer is the ideal statement piece as it can work back with everything from jeans, to trousers and in my case a buttery soft pair of leather leggings. Also, it’s a great way to add texture to a look and give it some depth.
It’s worth investing in good basics at the start of a season and wear them non-stop. A black knit is an essential when it comes to winter layers. It’s great for popping under a jacket or coat, it can be worked back with virtually everything and can transition to spring beautifully. Also, now is the time to consider your pants situation! I’ve long sung the praises of leather leggings and it’s definitely something I can attest to wearing to death when temperatures drop. They’re a great layering piece, are unbelievably comfy and so good at keeping the chill away. I’ve worn them with heels with this particular outfit, but they’re also great with sneakers or loafers. Their versatility is one of the reasons I love them and they add a stylish touch to any ensemble.
I’ve always said that a leather bag is an essential in any wardrobe and this particular style is great. It’s roomy enough to carry all my bits and pieces for the day, and has a modern silhouette that’s very of the moment. Also, pointed slingbacks never go astray. Wear them to work or out to dinner or an event—the occasions are endless.
