Five winter essentials

Five winter essentials

We are squarely in the middle of winter but that does not mean your fashion quotient has to plummet like the temperature.

We’ve put together a list of everyday winter wearables that also rank high on the fashion scale.

Cocoon jacket
This jacket is making a comeback this season. Perfect for all body shapes, make sure the layers on the inside are not bulky to disrupt the shape of the “cocoon”. To give it a dramatic twist, use a belt to cinch the waist.

Blanket scarf
Rug up with these oversized scarves. They are warm, cozy and can completely transform any look (and best of all, one size fits all).

Knee-high boots
A favourite with the street-style crowd, knee-high boots are being worn in every shade of black, grey, cream and camel thinkable and in every heel height from flat to sky-high.

Animal Prints
The sassy animal print that just won’t go away – think leopard, tigers, python and zebra. Hit the spot in small doses if you are not confident of the whole look or accessorise with animal prints.

Puffer Jackets
Shiny, unbelievably light and warm, puffer jackets are easy to wear. They are can be used in multiple ways – as comfortable to the footy or hiking through mountains.
