It’s easy to end up in greys, blacks and boring neutrals, but winter fashion needn’t be dreary.

You can still keep warm while injecting a bit of frivolity into your wardrobe. Look for brighter colours, stripes and finishing touches like fringes and pompoms when it comes to hats, scarves, bags, gloves and boots. Clash in a riot of cheerful shades. A cherry red or banana yellow used as an accent shade can lift your outfit and your outlook. Layer light silk and cotton t-shirts or blouses with merino or cashmere knitwear for maximum cosiness and minimal ironing! Top it off with an oversized coat, down filled jacket or a faux fur. Cosy up and smile all the way to spring!
