1. TIE A SWEATER OVER YOUR SHOULDERS

Style Notes: All our favourite influencers including Hannah have been throwing their jumpers over their shoulders for a while now and we are here for it. Ideally you want it to be cosy enough to wrap around and act scarf-like, so consider opting for a super soft material like mohair.

2. TRY TONAL LAYERING

Style Notes: Neutral tones might just be my favourite shades to wear in winter. The trick to making your outfit look more expensive here is to stick to hues that are from the same colour family. Mix up your textures by teaming cashmere and wool for extra style points.

3. LAYER YOUR QUILTED JACKET UNDER YOUR COAT

Style Notes: I swear this styling trick is what gets me through winter. It's all about the sleek layers with this one, so try wearing a slim fitting option like this Uniqlo jacket under your coat for a really flattering silhouette. Just add chunky lug soled boots for an easy weekend outfit.

4. WEAR A SHIRT AND OVERCOAT OVER A ROLL NECK

Style Notes: This styling trick is so simple yet so chic. Note how a frayed denim jean is cropped enough to allow the sheer tights and slingback combo to be seen under your jeans. It's an easy evening outfit that looks good and keeps you warm. Win, win!

6. STYLE A CREAM ROLL NECK UNDER A SWEATER OR DRESS

Style Notes: I've spotted this look on quite a few fashion people this season and I'm obsessed. It's all about the proportions here and to nail this fairly out-there layering look, ensure your top half is pared back and kept simple.
