I think we can all agree that in the UK right now it's flipping Baltic. Snow has fallen, pipes are frozen and while the clear blue skies are lovely, we need some warm cloud cover ASAP.
We know you're staying inside sat next to the one radiator you have on during this cost of living crisis, wrapped in a blanket and cup of tea in hand, but sometimes you do need to leave the house and when you do, you needn't trade in cosiness for looking good.
The key, of course, to dressing well in the cold weather is layering. Keeping your usual base outfit, be it a dress, shirt and jeans or even a suit, you need to add under layers (think leggings, thermal vests and cashmere socks) and over layers too (like snoods, gloves and, of course, a stellar winter coat). Natural fibres are preferable thanks to them being breathable and better for the environment, and combining practicality with style (like with some proper winter boots) means you'll never be caught short in the snow again.
Here are the elements you need to dress well in the cold weather.
Knitted vests are such a great way to add layers without too much bulk. They look great over shirts and T-shirts too, and their arm-free style should stop you from overheating when you head inside.
A quilted coat is a bit of a must when it drops below zero degrees, and, if you invest in a stylish one like Raey's, it's as appropriate over a suit as it is on your weekend walk.
