Winter dressing isn’t exactly easy. It’s cold, it’s wet and let’s be honest, all we want to put on in the morning is whatever makes us feel most snug. But unfortunately the world doesn’t stop just because the temperature drops, and looking good is still an option. So, how do you do it without walking outside wearing a doona?
The trick to winter dressing is all in the details. A jumper might be a jumper, but one made from cashmere is instantly elevated. The same goes with every other winter essential: a good quality coat in a luxe cut is going to trump an ill-fitting version any day. Keeping comfy and keeping warm doesn’t have to be a stretch — but make sure you’re picking optimal fabrics and going for timeless designs in order to freshen up your wardrobe. Below, we’ve rounded up eight of our favourite winter buys, because investing in your cool-weather wardrobe is an investment for life.
