A grey coat is a novel alternative to the black and navy styles which have reigned supreme this winter. The soft fabric and oversized shape of this Zara one makes it a winner. Dark grey oversized coat with lapel, €69.95, at Zara.
A luxe knitted cardigan, worn with nothing underneath, is a winter look that has currency. Even better if the cardigan is a ribbed style. Bonus points if it’s by Chloé but – never fear – Massimo Dutti and Mango offer chic alternatives. Cream ribbed wool blend cardigan, Chloé, €1,190; www.net-a-porter.com.
The fashion world can’t get enough of statement loafers. And, while we love them, the softer style of these leather moccasins also appeals. Made from pure leather and with a discreet logo, this pair by Coach punches above its €160 price tag. Black Ronnie loafers, Coach, €157.95; www.zalando.ie.
Nail the silhouette of the moment by pairing the aforementioned loafers with mid-rise wide-leg jeans that puddle ever so slightly at the hem. Tip: these styles tend to run quite large, so it’s best to size down when buying them. Blue mid-rise jeans, €49.99, at Mango.
Second only to an excellent winter shoe, a do-it-all handbag is a valued staple no matter what your day-to-day routine. Personally, we’ve always favoured the pack-the-kitchen-sink approach so a roomy carry-all that fits our daily accoutrements, that’s also fashioned from a rich burgundy suede is, frankly, the bag of dreams. You’ll be amazed at how it goes with everything. Burgundy suede Trafalgar shoulder bag with vegan leather trim, €315, at Jigsaw.
