If you've been feeling a little less stylish than usual, it would hardly be surprising - winter is the hardest month to dress for.
Shops may be full of winter pieces but putting them together seems so much harder when it's not style to consider, but also warmth.
In summer, dressing for
the office, after-work drinks and play revolves around dresses, strappy shoes and an emergency cardy, but in winter a few more balls need to be juggled.
So rather than going for just the fashionable options, it's a good idea to start with a capsule wardrobe made up of the basics that you need to get winter outfits under way.
Once you have these ticked off, you'll be able to buy everything else with the knowledge you have in your wardrobe what it takes to make your look work.
