Editor's Picks: Top Five Winter Essentials

Winter is fast approaching, even though there may be a strong chill in the air doesn't mean that you can't go into the season in style. Below are my top picks to aid in keeping you warm and 'on trend' this Winter. 


1. WINTER COAT

A great coat wraps up a great outfit. Although some may be pricey, look at this piece as an investment. Pick the right coat and you will be guaranteed a durable coat you can wear again in future Winters/seasons to come.

Style Tip: really pay attention to your outfit when pairing up a coat, an evening gown would look better for instance with option 2. and 3. below as opposed to 1. 4. and 5. Petite ladies opt for fitted coats to ensure that they do not swamp your frame.



Leather Trench 

Beige Jacket 

Cacoon coat 

Military Trench
Biker Coat
Editor's Top Pick: Leather Trench.


2. KNITWEAR

Whether with jeans or over a dress, the chunky knit is the item that will form the basis of our outfits this Winter. From keeping warm by the fireside to socialising the chunky knit is certainly an essential.



Style Tip: Cinche baggy oversized cardigans or jumpers with a belt at the waist for a more tailored look.



Lace front fisherman

Baroque

Ombre

Sweatshirt
Editor's Top Pick: Lace front fisherman.



3. SCARF

Scarves are great for accenting outfits not to mention keeping our necks warm. They can really lift an outfit when colours and prints are chosen to compliment.

Style Tip: Inject life into an otherwise plain outfit by opting for a printed scarf. For more styling options you may choose to opt for a Pashmina/Cashmere shawls as it can be worn as a shawl as well as a scarf.

Editors Top Pick: Burgundy Snood.


4. HAT 

Hats are great for adding more personality to your ensemble; marrying fashion and function. Great for those bad hair days we ladies can relate to and perfect for preventing the cold wind rushing pass the ears. For Autumn why not try turbans, fedoras and berets. During Winter opt for more warmer options as depicted above. There are a lot of options available; which ever you pick make sure you have fun with it, your head will most certainly thank you!

Style Tip: Add beanies to dress down an outfit, don't be afraid to combine it with sequins, snazzy fit flare dresses or a crisp white tuxedo shirt - the combo certainly looks great! 

Fur Cossack

 Burgundy Beanie

Aztec Beanie
Faux Fur 
Editors Top pick: Faux Fur.


5. BOOTS


Ankle boots, over the knee boots, there are plenty of styles to keep you treading in snow and any ice sludges in style.

Style Tip: To avoid bunches or awkward folds skinny jeans work best with any kind of boot as they fit snugly giving a smooth appearance.

 Willow


Crocodile

Studded Western

Paul Brodie
Editors Top pick: Willow.

So there you have it, my top 5 Winter Essentials. Whatever you wear this Winter stay warm and layer up.
