STYLE NOTES:

  • VESTED INTERESTS: Layer a borg vest over a dress and boots while inside or wear outdoors over a denim jacket and roll neck.
  • PUT THE BOOT IN: Aspen-style ski boots are having a moment. Wear yours with a full-length fleece coat for extra warmth.
  • DON’T BE SHEEPISH: For shearling alternatives, look for responsibly sourced wool pile (Arket wins big) or faux options.
  • HUE LOOK AMAZING: Give cream, ecru and toffee tones a break and brave it with a colourful iteration like Marella’s yellow coat.
