WINTER WARDROBE ESSENTIALS

The snow couldn't have arrived at a better time! I'd been meaning to do this post for a couple of weeks, so thanks Mother Nature for the lovely, wintery setting. Seen as we're now bearing the brunt of the chilly season, I wanted to share my favourite essentials for getting through the colder months with extremities intact. These bits are my essentials for wrapping up warm, without feeling like a total woolly mammoth.

Beanie Hats

Ok, so a woolly hat is kind of an obvious one, but the beanie hat is my particular favourite. For casual days at this time of year, I’m always sticking one on. They keep me cosy and also disguise a multitude of bad hair day problems.

Turtlenecks

Of course my favourite fit had to feature. I feel like I've spent the majority of winters as an adult in a turtleneck. I have a load of different colours in my wardrobe as they’re a great basic for wearing alone and with layered up outfits. I’m always sticking them under summer dresses that I can’t quite bear to pack away!

Thick Denim

My high-waisted, super soft jeans are all well and good, but warm they ain't. At this time of year I'm all about some extra thick denim. They're not quite your slouching around in the house sort of thing, but for the really chilly times they're just what I need. For me, my vintage Levi's are the best option for keeping the chill out.

Long Coats

The long coat has probably been my most essential wardrobe item over the last two winters. In that time I’ve invested in three (albeit inexpensive) ones, as I just love getting wrapped up in them. I like the kind that comes to just above my ankle, that way I maximise the ‘I’m wearing a duvet’ feels. These days, I can’t even dare think of wearing a coat shorter thank knee length… It’s way too cold!

Black Boots

Basically what my feet live in over the winter months. I have more pairs than I could probably ever need, but when in doubt, stick black boots on. I see a sturdy pair that’ll stand up to the elements as a worthy investment – some of the better quality ones I’ve had have lasted me years.

Aaaand that's me wrapped up for the winter. I'll probably emerge from my chunky knit chrysalis approx. April.
