Editor’s picks: Cosy meets cool

Striking that balance between ultra comfort and super cool is a superpower this time of year. It’s something I’m confident I could do every single day if I had the clothing budget of a billionaire (though my family might argue I act like it anyway).

Find classic pieces that go the extra mile – a beige coat in a funnel-neck style, wool suiting in a sharp silhouette, a bomber jacket with a fluffy collar – to elevate your everyday style while
keeping you cosy and comfortable. Opt for timeless hues; colour can pop through your accessories.

And if you truly want to look cool, you have to feel it first – so don’t take yourself too seriously. Embrace a kind of freedom with fashion; if you like something and your seven-year-old self would throw it on with no hesitation, trust her. You’ll feel ultra comfortable, and look a million bucks.
