Winter is a never ending season - or that's what it feels like sometimes. I always think that winter should last for the lead up to Christmas and then once that's over with it can start to brighten up and the trees can start to blossom please. Unfortunately that's not the case and it's going to be cold for at least another two months yet, which calls for some staples to sneak their way into my wardrobe to help me see it out.
A chunky knit | I'm comfort over style every time and a chunky knit is my number one winter wardrobe staple. Recently I've been living (seriously, I have) in this blush pink one by Fashion Union and it's just the cosiest thing I've ever worn. It goes with anything too so you can dress it up or down depending on your mood or the occasion.
Black Trousers | I was gutted and kind of lost when my black Joni jeans got holes in them earlier this month (and pretty annoyed too actually seeing as I'd only had them for a year and I generally rely on Topshop for good quality jeans) so when I spied these black faux leather trousers in the Asos sale I hoped and prayed that they would fit and they did so there's me sorted until these ones get holes in them. Black trousers are such an unsung staple that you don't think about until you don't have any because they are just such a failsafe to throw on.

Heeled boots | I pretty much wear nothing but boots in winter so my way of not getting stuck in a footwear rut is to wear heeled ones. They're flattering, they still keep your feet warm and dry and they look good. These ones are super old by Topshop but they go with everything so they're a staple!
A bobble hat | I love a good bobble hat in winter, not only because they look cute but obviously because they keep you warm! I love having one in my bag that I can put on if I've not dressed warm enough for the weather or if it gets suddenly nippy! I'm on a mission to find one with a bigger bobble than this though - preferably a furry one too!

DeleteYour photos are gorgeous as are you! I love black trousers in winter too and got some great jeggings in Primark which are great quality! I bought two pairs haha xxxx
ReplyDeletelucylovesbeautyxo.com
Aw thank you lovely! You've got to get two pairs when they're as cheap as Primark! xx
DeleteSounds like you and I have similar styles! This has been my go-to outfit all winter! I've tried to venture out and wear jeans less and I found some gorgeous black cotton joggers that go with everything in my wardrobe! And they're super comfy unlike skinny jeans can be! Those Topshop boots are gorgeous too!

They sound so comfy, I think I need some trousers like those in my life! Glad to hear we have similar styles! xx
DeleteFebruray is always the hardest for me because that's the time of the year when I'm so beyond ready to say goodbye to winter yet somehow it doesn't seem to go away :) Yes to chunky knits and beanies, I can't survive through winter without them! xx
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm not looking forward to it dragging on! Chunky knits are the best though :) xx
DeleteHats are a must for me! I have loads but only wear one!

DeleteI have never been a jumper person but since starting sixth form, I've relied on them to keep me warm in winter classrooms with 0% heating. My favourite a are baggy oversized shapeless sweatshirts from new look. Fab fashion post www.lydia-eve.blogspot.co.uk xx
ReplyDeleteOooh good recommendation for New Look, I'll definitely have to have a look there! Glad to hear you're a jumper convert! xx
DeleteThis outfit looks so super comfy! I totally live in boots and big jumpers throughout the winter as I hate being cold! Black trousers are essential as they go with so many different things :) Happy new year lovely :) xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy new year too! It's literally the comfiest outfit and I hate being cold too so being snug is essential! xx
DeleteChunky knits and healed boots get me through the cold winters!! Loved this post Hun that hat is so pretty!

Thank you so much - literally living in chunky knits at the moment! xx
DeleteOh yes, I'm all for chunky knits during winter - they feel so cosy but can look really stylish (especially with tons of accessories!). 100% with you on heeled boots, by the way :)

Chunky knits are just the best aren't they and I 100% agree they're so cosy but stylish so just general winners! xx
DeleteLoved your knit and your bobble hat! I like knits very much, and especially when they are like this one, chunky, beautiful, not plain stitches! Loved your outfit and hope you have a nice winter - I am biased because I really love winters! Hope you have a very nice weekend!
