          10 tips for a Winter Wardrobe Shuffle

          Easy Does It

          October 29, 2016

          There’s a chill in the air – I have that feeling of wanting to cosy up in textured knits and long cardigans in warm earthy tones. In fact I dug out my trusty Jigsaw boyfriend cardigan, in a tobacco shade, and love it layered with shades of denim for this kind of weather.
          Brands have been emailing all sorts of knitted lovelies over the last week, in a mixture of wools and blends, some washable some not, so choose what works for you.
          This was the first one I saw and thought ‘yum’ but then I noticed it was made of acrylic and Nylon and still dry clean only. Pretty, but not so edible!

          Anthropology textured sweater, £88

          Or long and lean, I love this. Hand wash advised, although I would be careful with a delicate machine wash.

          Anthropology Wren cardigan, £98

          Hooded, tailored, but long and slouchy too. A blend with 7% wool, hand wash recommended.

          Zara khaki cardigan, £49.99

          From the States, Madewell is becoming more well known and their styling is very inspiring. Luxurious merino wool and washable too, this cardigan is nearly a coat (so they call it a sweater coat, nicer than coatigan!)

          Madewell manish cardigan, £163.44

          I like the colour and texture from Next, with some added sparkle for daytime glitz. But with only 5%  wool in a multi blend it’s easy to wash and more about impact than warmth.

          Next boucle cardigan, £42

          Texture from Cos in this herringbone style fuzzy knit with 13% wool plus mohair, it is also machine washable.

          Cos oversized cardigan, £89

          Chunky and in a manly cut, this is a great option from French Connection, in fact they had loads of great knitwear, with 16% wool and hand wash.

          French Connection slouchy cardigan, £90

          And to finish with, in a warm cream, a Boden classic styled to perfection (i.e. over stripes!) A good 80% wool, although it recommends dry clean.

          Boden Celeste Coatigan, £119

          These are all so wearable and right for now, it’s just tricky to choose only one!

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
