Colder weather doesn’t have to equal an entire wardrobe overhaul!
Chunky boots are your BFF
Layer up! Arguably the most obvious way to give your look a refresh is to layer it! With temperatures plummeting, there’s no better case to put a roll neck or pussybow shirt underneath your favourite dress. The great thing about layering is that you can not only keep outfit repeating without anyone even realising, but you can transform from day-to-night, casual-tosmart, and preppy-to-edgy just by adding something a little extra. Not to mention it’ll keep you warm too!

Chunky boots add a tomboy edge and add a lengthening effect (particularly handy if you’re on the shorter side!) to your look, and have transitioned from being the hottest trend of 2020 to a must-have for the foreseeable future. They’re so loveable because they’re such a contrast to the ditzy dresses they’re often paired with, and proof that opposites do attract. In particular, calf-length boots are great for summer-style dresses because they’re bordering on a wellington hybrid, so you can still feel like it's festival season every single day without losing practicality – and they’re adored by off-duty models on the streets of London, Paris and New York. Who wouldn’t want that? Step aside Dr Martens, there’s a new, almostcooler kid in town.
