“Dressing in cosy knitwear is key for the season and suits a more WFH comfy lifestyle. This skirt can easily be smartened up when worn with a matching jumper and boots. It creates a very chic, minimal look. I’m also looking forward to being able to step out soon and this dress would make a welcome change from all the sweats and joggers I've been living in. It’s still versatile, easy to layer and I can also wear it in spring. A cosy longer knit is the perfect wrap for lazy winter days, but works well over a dress for added warmth – I love this wintry rust tone. I’m also lusting after this parka for those nippy mornings when I’d squeeze a walk in before work. Again, it’s timeless and will see me through a few seasons. Lastly, I love the fit and fabric of these trousers. They can be worn casually or smartened up for work.”

“I often ramble on social media about how I’ve become a 'classics and clean lines' sort of person. So not only does unlimited data mean unlimited stream-of-consciousness posts about my style (sorry), it also means building up my perfect wardrobe. Any strong wardrobe starts with a good pair of jeans and because I enjoy making my life difficult for the sake of minimalism, I’m all in for perfectly cut white jeans. If you’re good at not spilling food or drinks on your clothes, you’ll love them. When it comes to winter, one jacket I believe to rule them all is the practical macintosh. Now, when styling campaigns and getting dressed, I try to maintain a strong focus on balance. Where there’s smart, there should also be casual. Enter form-fitting Converse high-tops (I’m okay with eventually having one of these in every colour). The fall of the crossbody bag has been tough on me, cue my experimentation with bags. Chest packs are pretty trendy, but it’s all about balance. One of those things I might have to start moving with is face oil. Winter is naturally quite tough on skin, but wearing a face mask is even tougher. CBD Face Oil to the rescue with its incredibly calming and moisturising effect on the skin.”

“I own a couple of tops like this. They’re so great for layering under jumpers, camis and dresses, especially in a great neutral tone like this cloudy grey. I’m also a hardcore denim girl. These classic 100% cotton, high-rise Levi’s are high on my Wishlist. I love how they’re hardy yet super slick. The cinnamon colour may seem a little bold, but it’s actually quite a versatile colour and will make for a great foundation. I tend to do bold lips more often in winter than any other season. It just perks my mood. This red is perfect for doing a really red lip with a thick slick over the lips or a light dab on both the lips and the cheeks for a plumped effect. Onto shoes: the exposed zipper and stepped square heel gives a fresh update to this essential ankle boot. They’ll go with everything from dresses to even a pair of sweats. I want these and so will you. Everyone needs a long (the longer, the better) almost blanket-like winter scarf. It always does the trick in keeping out the cold. I’m usually quite partial to scarves in traditional prints like this neutral check – it’s just perfect for elevating any look. I like this look overall because it’s a good balance between classic elements and a little playfulness. It’s reliable and it does all the style work for you.”

“Winter is upon us and as such, layering becomes key. This is why I'm lusting after a look that combines soft, warm sweats and knits with durable denim. Playing with colour creates a new outfit without having to be overly adventurous with fit or styling. Converse Chuck Taylors are an all-time classic that never goes out of style. Personally, the dark navy colourway is a great update. Levi's 501s are a timeless jean but these in a winter white add a fresh update. Something else that I believe everyone needs in their wardrobes is a plain hoodie – it's comfortable, warm and works with just about every outfit. The classic denim trucker jacket has been around for a while: this is a new take on the denim jacket and, combined with the 501 jeans, creates a unique take on the denim-on-denim look. Finally, a classic beanie will keep your head warm and lift your mood in a playful colour.”

“A sneaker in a classic shape? Instant cool factor. I can’t stop browsing them. Full disclosure: I have a minor obsession with winter coats. This one by MANGO is the perfect shade of forever-stylish camel and can (and should) be worn with everything. Bye Boyfriend Jeans. Hello, 90s bubble shape. The pleating detail in the front makes me think of a pair of perfectly tailored trousers, but these happen to be denim. A win-win if you ask me. More instant cool points when you layer an oversized hoodie under a coat. Last but not least, a pair of tortoise-shell shades (always the optimal pairing with shades of rust and camel) to ensure you maintain that air of mystery. This look is unfussy, uncomplicated and pared down. It's about versatility, taking you through your busy day without losing an ounce of polish or sophistication.”
