EASY WINTER OUTFITS TO TRY:

2. Puffer Jacket + Leggings + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: For the ultimate cosy and casual look, team a puffer jacket with your softest leggings (even better: a thermal pair). Finally, sleek knee-high riding boots will add a fashion touch to the outfit.

3. Wrap Coat + White Jeans + Ankle Boots

Style Notes: At this time of year, the temptation to dress in dark, moody hues takes hold. Combat this instinct with a fresh palette of greys, whites and chocolate brown.

4. Knitted Co-ord + Kitten Heels

Style Notes: Knitwear in all its forms is one of the joys of this season—even those missing summer can't deny their love of a slouchy knit. For a more refined take, swap your jumper and jeans for an elevated co-ord.

5. Maxi Coat + Bright Scarf + Wide-Leg Trousers

Style Notes: Incorporating a well-placed pop of a trending colour is your ticket to a low-effort, stylish ensemble. See Francesca's use of red accessories for inspiration.

6. Cropped Jacket + Knitted Skirt + Trainers

7. Turtleneck + Brown Trousers + Square-Toe Shoes

Style Notes: Minor considerations can be the difference between a boring outfit and one that catches glances as you walk down the street. A square-toed shoe is a directional choice, and tonal styling always makes an outfit feel intentional.

8. High-Neck Tee + Mini Skirt + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: You can't beat the timeless mini skirt and knee-high boots combo for an easy but stylish winter look. Add a classic roll-neck tee as well as. some tights when it gets really chilly.

9. Maxi Coat + Leather Trousers + Croc Boots

Style Notes: When winter comes around, I immediately turn to my leather separates as a basis for my outfits. A quality pair of leather trousers are not only incredibly easy to style, but will remain in your wardrobe for many years to come.
