5 Genius Ways Our Fashion Friends Wear Suits in Winter

Even the most avid winter dresser can begin to experience the fatigue of cold-weather dressing. When the temperatures plummet, it's all too easy to default to jeans and boots and jumpers or, if you're a dress addict, a midi with black opaques.

Lately, however, on Instagram, we've noticed a few of our favourite fashion influencers are spinning a quintessential autumn staple for winter.

Two-piece suits always resurge come September, but aside from perhaps party iterations in velvet and lamé, they tend to disappear to the backs of our wardrobes when the freezing weather really hits. However, with a bit of flair, there is a multitude of ways you can wear a suit in winter, and we've handpicked five of the best below.

From doubling-up blazers to layering your tailored outerwear over top an on-trend zip-up knit, keep scrolling to how to wear a suit in winter.

Annemiek expertly matches the colour of her roll neck to that of her suit, which she then elevates with tan accessories, earning herself extra style points for her choice of hiking boots in the process.

When one blazer simply won't do, make like stylist Hannah and wear two at once. This, dear reader, is why it pays to invest in oversized outwear that allows you to fit copious layers underneath.

We love how Tamu lifts the tonal colour palette of her camel suit and brown boots with an unexpected pop of colour by the way of a tomato-red roll-neck. Bravo.

Much like Hannah, Camille has employed the use of double outwear by delicately shoulder-robing a khaki coat over her beige suit. Just add a (preferably thermal) T-shirt and this season's most in-demand boots (the type with thick, practical soles).

Tiffany has clearly been doing her research, for the "dad"-style, zip-up knit has made a major comeback this winter. Layered underneath a checked suit and finished with pointed-toe stiletto boots, she strikes the perfect high/low balance.
