Stylish Winter Warmers For A Chilly Christmas

The Brits and North Americans love their novelty jumpers; knitwear items that express a sense of festive occasion.

Each year the grandad cardigan makes a return to store shelves. This season is no different. Oversized and chunky, these statement pieces are perfect for layering over a T shirt or thin sweater and work just as well with jeans as they do with simple cotton slacks.

Sturdy, hardy and flattering to all body shapes and sizes, the smart jacket is a go-to when chilly weather sets in. Opt for a jacket that fits snug in the shoulders but still leaves room for more layering beneath. Think denim and cotton in darker hues.

Both functional and stylish, lightweight rain and wind jackets have made a return to the men’s catwalk over the past few years. Scrunch them up, fold them or throw them into your suitcase, these faithful friends will shield you from all those unforeseen showers.

European winters dramatically shift from crisp and sunny mornings to howling rainy afternoons so make sure your boots keep you moving easily between them.
