Why is it that as soon as the cool breeze of winter is in the air people lose their ability to dress themselves in a way that is at all fashionable and instead opt for clothing that we can all see is drab and boring, but it’s alright if it goes with that staple wardrobe piece of a Helly Hansen waterproof right? Definitely not. Winter is such a great time to play around with high street offerings because the always on trend style of layering allows you to wear multiple items at once, which not only means there is no reason not to be inventive with your outfits, but it also means that the cost-per-wear price of anything you buy is lowered – always a bonus (and a reason to purchase even more obviously). It’s also important to remember
in winter that black is not the only shade available. Although it’s tempting to dress all dark and mysterious on a cold winter morning, seeing someone wearing a nice crimson or emerald shade brightens up the day even on the rainiest of afternoons. In addition to a little colour pop during the winter months, I also love to jazz up fabric textures. You can’t go wrong with a little leather, obviously most people can’t pull off a full leather trouser, but throw it in there with a skirt or a on a shirt collar and you have a timeless winter fashion piece that can be worn year after year. So when you next open your wardrobe go for red over black, don’t immediately just throw on the Helly Hansen rain coat, and please save all of our eyes and stay away from the novelty hats.
