Hi lovelies,
Winter is fast approaching and many of us are enjoying the changes that the season brings. We like the cooler weather and how the leaves are turning a beautiful shade of orange and brown in the trees. We like the shorter days, the nights drawing in earlier and getting all cosy on the sofa with a hot drink and a good film. But one thing we’re going to have to alter during the upcoming months is what we wear. Winter calls for more practical clothing, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t look great at the same time! Here are some winter essentials to stock up on that will keep you warm and comfortable throughout the colder months of the year!
A Coat
The first essential in your winter wardrobe is a big and cosy winter coat. This will keep you warm against the elements and can prevent you from catching a chill when you’re out and about. Whether you’re running out of the car and into the office or standing out and about in a winter market for a few hours, you need a coat that will cover and protect you from the cold. Options with thick fabrics, linings and hoods tend to be preferable. You may also want to choose a waterproof fabric for rainy days.
Boots
As the temperature drops and the floor begins to be wet or snow covered, you’re going to have to reconsider your footwear choices. Lighter and softer shoes aren’t going to make the cut. If you wear them, you’ll simply end up with freezing toes and soggy feet. This is why you need a good pair of winter boots in your collection. The more durable and waterproof they are, the better. Some popular options tend to be Doc Martens, which really stand the test of time and are great at keeping the rain, sleet and snow out. There are countless colours and styles available, and even a vegan range for those who would rather steer clear of leather.
Hats
Did you know that we lose the most heat through our head? Covering your head can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining your temperature and staying warm. This is where a hat can come in handy. There are countless styles out there, ranging from wooly bobble hats to chic berets. Often, options that cover your ears tend to be the warmest.
Scarves
A scarf is a great way to protect your neck from the cold. It will contain heat and prevent the wind from whipping against you. Again, there are many scarves to choose from out there and, as they’re pretty cheap, you can generally choose a few different ones to match a host of different homespun knitwear and ensembles.
Gloves
Let's finish up with gloves. Gloves help to keep your hands warm while you’re out and about in the winter. Ward off numb finger tips with a cosy pair.
These are just a few options to choose from, but you should consider them essentials for the winter months!
