How to stay warm and look stylish

Dressing for the cold weather can often be a challenge, but there are a few key pieces I turn to year after year to help me stay warm in style

HOW TO DRESS IN Winter Over Dress
  1. The Coat, the single most important piece in your wardrobe during winter

Choose well, and it will last you for years. I usually opt for an oversized wool coat, which you can throw on over any outfit, including a tracksuit and trainers, and still feel put together. I also love a faux fur coat, super chic and cosy and the easiest way to elevate a simple jeans and tee look. This one from De Savary has just arrived, and I’m in love. The colour is muted, so it doesn’t feel as in your face as a lot of leopard coats. Another style I love for 2025 is a long leather coat with a shearling trim. Nour Hammour, Stand Studio and Nili Lotan all have a version of this 70’s inspired style.

When the goal is to stay warm, what’s underneath the outfit is most important. My go-to is Uniqlo’s HEATTECH. I regularly reach for the LeggingsFleece Crew-Neck, and Cashmere Blend High Neck. I can be wearing jeans and a shirt and have the HEATTECH under to keep super toasty.

  1. The Footwear

During the colder months, I tend to wear boots, trainers, or a loafer (with a sock). However, when the temperature drops really low, only a flat boot with a warm sock will do. I’ve had my Gianvitto Rossi Chelsea Boots for years and wear them every winter. I love the Row Zip Ankle Boots, and every year, I question whether this is the year I need to invest. Le Monde Beryl Shearling lined ankle boots really have my heart this year, though. Cosy and cool. On the High Street H&M has a Warm-Lined Chelsea Boot, or try Stories Lined Leather Boots.

  1. The Accessories

I’m not a big, thick scarf wearer, as I find they make me feel a little claustrophobic, but I do love the idea of wrapping a thinner scarf around my neck and wearing as a hood (I’ve watched many a Reel on how to perfect this), a triangle scarf is great as it adds a style element to your outfit as well keeping you warm, check out this fringed one from COS. And I think a knitted hood looks very cool,
