Weather in the UK during the winter can be summed up in one word - unpredictable. London winter can be quite cold and with a high chance of showers, you are definitely going to be experiencing some chills. Occasionally, there can be instances of snow but it is not very common in central London.
No matter if there’s snow on the ground or not, you’ll probably still want to grab some cozy staples for winter’s cool air. We’ve outlined our Winter staples below:
1. A Tailored Midi Coat
The cooler weather can definitely be used as an excuse for this one. Not only will the streamlined, below-the-knee topper keep you warm and toasty through while chilly breezes circle around you, but it will also elevate your favorite jeans-and-sweater outfit and give you ultra-chic coverage over a dress.
2. Tough Girl (Waterproof) Boots
Add a pair of '90s-inspired lace-up combat boots to your ankle-boot arsenal. A stacked-heel bootie still keeps the rugged, tough feel of the silhouette but gives you more versatility to wear with jeans, tapered trousers, a flippy printed dress, or winter shorts and tights. As an added bonus, we like to make sure our boots are waterproof, especially for those rainy London days.
3. A Cozy Wool Sweater - or two
Yes, every fashion blogger is obsessed with the chunky, and cuddly fisherman wool sweater. And who can blame them? The cable knit works with everything - a pair of broken-in boyfriend jeans on the weekend, a button-down and tailored trousers for the office, and a pleated, feminine skirt for a holiday party. These sweaters will more than earn their keep this season.
4. A Classic Cotton Turtleneck
This season hails the return of the classic, cozy silhouette that not only keeps us warm but also serves as an easy layering piece to wear on its own or bundled under a wooly, cropped jacket or casual flannel boyfriend shirt. This layer will prove its worth when you start feeling a cool breeze.
5. A Blanket Wrap Scarf
The blanket wrap scarf is a chic and effortless addition to any winter outfit! There are countless ways to style this cold weather accessory, either thrown carelessly over your shoulder or wrapped around multiple times.
