I sealed the deal this week when I sent back a faulty puffer coat to its original home. I’m just not a sensible outfit kind of person, and it simply wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t want to reorder another one, I didn’t want to find something similar and I didn’t care to consider the reality that the rest of my winter wardrobe is highly impractical for the weather and lifestyle I lead. There are many days of the week where I’m on drizzly walks, schlepping about with a pram, a rucksack and some food shopping bags all whilst attempting to balance a coffee in whatever hand is miraculously free. Deep down, I need waterproof coats with hoods and I need flat boots. And most of all, I need to not be inexorably drawn to colourful outerwear, fluffy fabrics, cute little mini bags you tuck under your arms, sunglasses that look extra AF and so on and so forth. But I am, and that’s where this gallery comes in: If you’re also finished with entirely suitable winter attire for your weekday and weekend jaunts outside, then here is a selection of fabulous cold-weather looks I’d recommend instead.
Courtesy of some of the most divine women on Instagram, here are the five statement winter outfits I’ll be showcasing in my neighbourhood.
