Tips for styling winter outfits without sacrificing warmth

Layers to keep you warm in winter 

Winter dressing is all about balancing warmth, style, and function. From technical outerwear to versatile knitwear and cosy accessories, choosing the right pieces for your day’s activities makes all the difference. With the season’s chill setting in, it’s time to layer up with intent. 

What type of winter jacket is best for dog walks, city breaks or countryside getaways? 

If you’re heading out on damp dog walks or bracing for city rain, opt for a waterproof jacket; our men’s waterproof jackets and women’s waterproof coats are designed to keep you dry and comfortable in the worst weather, thanks to breathable membrane systems and well-designed features like hoods and storm-cuffs to keep water out. Prefer something smart for countryside getaways? Our women’s tweed jackets and blazers offer a touch of sophisticated elegance, while our men’s tweed coats combine heritage appeal and warmth without compromising on style. 

What is best for layering under coats and gilets? 

A great jumper is winter’s secret weapon and perfect for layering under coats and gilets. Our women’s knitwear includes classic cable knits and stylish roll necks, while men’s jumpers provide practical style without sacrificing polish. Ideal for layering under jackets or gilets, they’re the building blocks of a smart or casual winter wardrobe. 

What should I wear to a winter pub lunch or family gathering? 

If you’re heading for a pub lunch or weekend gathering, style a women’s tweed skirt with a cardigan, or team a men’s insulated jacket with a check shirt and trousers. Winter outfits thrive on texture, so combining wool, cotton, and technical fabrics makes for a warm and stylish ensemble. 

What are the best winter accessories to complete your outfit? 

The right accessories for men or women, finish off your look and can even add extra insulation. A wool scarf in a seasonal pattern adds interest, while a fedora hat or tweed cap brings classic character that ties your outfit together. 

How do you choose the right colours for winter outfits? 

This season's palette includes rich navy, deep burgundy, classic caramel, and heritage green. Whether you’re keeping things neutral or adding a dash of Fairisle pattern, winter is a great time to be bold with textures and tones.
