Getting the woollies out in winter can be a bit of a tricky one. On the one hand, when you can see your breath in front of you, all you want to do is find the nearest, chunkiest, snuggliest knit you own and wrap yourself up all warm and cosy in it. Problem is, wrapping up warm often results in turning yourself into a shapeless woolly mammoth, about three sizes larger than you actually are. Not a good look (albeit snug as a bug in a rug). My advice? Try the following:
- Tailored knits that give you shape (see the military cardigan, below)
- Wearing long cardies, jumpers and sweater dresses belted over skinny jeans/leggings/ tights
- If going for a chunky, patterned top half, keep the bottom half plain and slimline
- Belt knitted gilets, cardies and maxi dresses for definition
- Layer chunky waistcoats, tanks and gilets over thin knit sweaters and maxi dresses
- Go for a chic, cable-knit poncho over indigo skinnies or bootflare trousers
