@sylviemus_Style Notes: A cashmere roll-neck is the ultimate versatile winter staple. Wear it under a dress, coat, knit vest or alone alongside a pleated midi skirt.
When it comes to finding cashmere on the high-street, M&S is a great place to start.
This forest green will go with more than you think, and it makes a change from the usual neutrals.

Style Notes: While you might want to stick with neutrals for all your other pieces, when it comes to chunky knits, you can afford to go for a bold hue. Try red (the colour of the season), lilac or green to give your outfit a bit of life. Pro tip: If you get too warm, take it off and layer it over your coat like a scarf.
This will look gorgeous against a backdrop of camels or creams.
If you're new to wearing colour, try a softer pastel first.

Style Notes: Berets made a comeback thanks to Emily in Paris but I've always had a soft spot for this French-girl accessory. Evidently, influencers also agree.

Style Notes: Winter doesn't mean you need to cast aside dresses. We recommend investing in knit dresses that will keep you cosy without compromising on the style factor.

Style Notes: Consider this your biggest purchase. A winter coat that you love can be worn for almost six months of the year (which is incredible for cost per wear when you think about it). They don't come more versatile than camel.
As the name states, this is an iconic piece for the brand.

Style Notes: Shoes need to do these three things in the winter: keep your feet warm, keep you from slipping and withstand the grim and slush. These tread-sole boots have got you.

Style Notes: Midi skirts are just as essential for winter as they are for the warmer months. Opt for silky slip styles and leather or pleated options that work best with knitwear layered on top.
The handkerchief hemline is a designer-looking touch.

@_jessicaskyeStyle Notes: A puffer coat is a practical winter essential, especially when many of us might still be keen to socialise alfresco. Wear alongside chunky boots and a beanie for a cosy winter look.
You'll be grateful for this cosy puffer when the temperatures drop even further.
I personally love lululemon's technical (but still stylish) puffers.
