With December fast approaching and the temperature slowly but surely dropping, it’s time that we all started thinking about our winter wardrobe. Although our dreams of finding the entrance to Narnia concealed behind long, thick fur coats will (probably) never become a reality, we can at least ensure that we have the right gear to look and feel stylish when out and about this season.
This winter’s fashion statements, embracing personal style and diversity with everything from graphic black and white to pale marshmallow tones, are already widely available in high street branches. With reefer jackets, Breton stripes, and jersey dresses all being flaunted upon the catwalk, now is the perfect opportunity to visit the shops, locate affordable versions of these impressive designer statements, and create the perfect wardrobe allowing you to look and feel great this wintertime.
Folk patchwork, bright bohemian prints, and seventies-influenced designs are guaranteed to make you stand out against the barren, frosty landscape during these approaching cold months. Choose between intricately patterned trousers, print dresses, playsuits and more to defy the grey skies by wearing the most cheerful, vivid colours available. Available with free delivery from boohoo.com for a minimal cost, (varying from £4-£8), why not visit their website and treat yourself to one of the following hippy outfits to stay looking cool this winter?
Equally, fight the chilly weather with a chunky turtleneck, a wardrobe essential that is eternally in fashion and therefore a great investment! The cosiest of all jumpers, it will keep you sufficiently warm without the need for a scarf, allowing you to both look and feel stylish when indoors and outdoors. The two following turtlenecks are both available at H&M for just £19.99 and £29.99 respectively, money that will rapidly prove to be well worth spending.
A good, thick winter coat is always necessary and probably the most rewarding purchase due to the amount of times you’ll wear it and its ability to be easily thrown on top of the rest of your outfit. With its skill at concealing potential clothes disasters and its guarantee to keep you feeling warm while looking awesome, it may be worth investing in this fashionable, seasonal essential before the freezing mornings and nights arrive with a vengeance. This winter, arctic fur, quilted jackets, and parkas are all in style and readily available from popular high street chains as well as designer brands. With a hugely diverse and impressive range of parkas on their website, Zara may be the perfect place to locate your dream jacket. Varying from £39.99 to £99.99 (still under the hundred mark!), Zara’s parkas have the magical ability to make you feel warm and cosy just by looking at them.
Or, if following the faux fur trend is more your style, this variety of coat is just as tempting and readily available almost everywhere. For the best prices, visit Dorothy Perkins and make the most of their current sale (the perfect reason not to linger) with up to 30% off their stunning array of furs. For just £41.30 each, the navy collarless and tall biscuit styles are definitely among my favourites.
Whatever your preference, the incredible availability of this season’s must-have fashion statements upon the high street, alongside their refreshingly low price tags, leaves you with no excuse for not designing the perfect winter wardrobe. High street branches have everything you need to look and feel great this season, making it easy to combat the cold while maintaining your fashionable reputation and attracting those desired compliments and envious glances that make everything worthwhile.
