Make a wonderful Winter

The winter chills may have set in but there’s no need for the winter blues to take hold.

Published 05 July

It might very well be cold outside, but the simplest of life’s pleasures are often found at home.

The footy’s on in the background, the fire pit is blazing and the afternoon games are in full swing; with warm welcomes from friends as you peel off the layers, it’s time to settle in.

Good friends..tick, comfort food...tick, conversation, acosy blanket and a string of movies for a marathon should the footy result disappoint...tick.

Whether you plan on playing a game or watching the game; cosying up on the couch or taking it outside,it can be tempting to rock up in your hoodie and your favourite sweat pants but this time, why not trade them out for an instagram worthy outfit. Let simple sophistication be the new ‘invited home’code - because you know there will be photos. #weekendwithfriends

Creating warm layers is winter’s gift to us all. Accessories with a toasty merino wool scarf, and give it the finishing touch with a classic fedora, personally we are loving them in grey right now (the universal ‘hue’ that goes with everything! ),and invest in a jacket to keep the elements at bay.

While your sweat pants might be out, a great pair of denim jeans will keep your comfort levels in check… the perfect compromise.

Ladies, when it comes to your denim, why not consider fresh winter whites with a little flare and matching boots for a chic tone on tone look, and boys,consider keeping your choices classic in neutrals and blues, keeping it cool with some fresh new kicks #wardrobestaples

While denim will always have its place, if you want to play hostess with the ‘mostest’, a free- flowing dress in wintery hues will be sure to impress. Surprising? Maybe… a perfect choice? Absolutely.

Of course your winter wardrobe will never be complete without knitwear and this season we are loving a cable knit more than ever… forever a classic and a piece that can give life to a wide leg pant in linen, or perhaps you will pair it back with this season’s midi skirt. There’s no doubting the perfect knitwear choice will be your most versatile piece of the season.
