Surviving the cold snap is about more than knits, rather clever layering pieces. Say hello to thermals, wool and fleece: your cold weather best friends. What to buy? Uniqlo’s reputation for good thermals is worth the hype, closer to home Penneys does an excellent line in thermal tights and faux-fur lined leggings. For hints on how to style it, look to Nordic tastemakers like Swedish fashion influencer Fanny Ekstrand (pictured, above) who knows how to brave the elements in style. Add the pieces below to basket and start layering up.
