Dressing for the cold can become quite monotonous towards the middle of deepest, darkest winter, but with a few essential winter basics you can easily mix and match, pulling from what you already have to create multiple looks.
1. The layering items
The foundation of any great look. A great arsenal of layering items will not only keep you warm but will also allow you to mix things up all winter long. A soft and comfortable polo neck is a staple in every great winter wardrobe. No doubt you will be wearing a black one on repeat, but we recommend adding another in one of this season's trending colours – ochre or green.
2. The knit dress
The quick and easy route to winter chic. A classic knit dress is a full grab-and-go look in one easy step. Keep it casual with tights and ankle boots, or dress it up with knee-high boots and a great coat. This dress can be worn over and over again in different ways. The wrap effect and draping at the waist are super-flattering, and the grid pattern adds something unique to this classic little black dress.
3. The checked blazer
A true fashion staple. If you don’t have one in your wardrobe yet, it's time to get one – especially with 20% off using our voucher code GHK20 at checkout! This will become one of your hardest- working wardrobe pieces. Pair it with a polo neck, a great pair of trousers and a pair of chunky block heels for work, or dress it down with your favourite jeans, a T-shirt and a pair of loafers for the weekend.
4. Ankle boots
We are head over heels for anything tan - possibly winter’s most versatile colour. These ankle boots have a manageable heel and, as we all know, comfort is key! If you need any further justification for investing in a pair, think long term. These boots are not only restricted to the colder months – they’ll look as good with a spring dress in a couple of months. Still need convincing? They’re 20% off right now – simply use our voucher code GHK20 at checkout.
5. The statement bag
Investment bags are meant to last a lifetime, but statement fashion bags are a lot of fun. This winter we are seeing bigger bags - which we love for the sake of practicality - in various check prints. Add an on-trend bag to any winter outfit for an instant update.
6. The classic wrap coat
The name says it all. A great coat won’t date, and can be worn with almost anything. Wear it over your shoulders to add a stylish layer of warmth to a great dress, or tie it at the waist and wear it with a polo neck and knee-high boots.
