The parka
A parka will see you through any weather, throughout the year! Pair yours with skinny jeans and ankle boots for a chic finish.
The aviator
Don’t feel like a heavy coat? Then go for the shearling lined aviator jacket – it will keep you warm without weighing you down! Try it over a dress for an edgy update.

The poncho
When you feel like snuggling up under a blanket, it’s time to pull out the poncho. It’s super cosy and stylish. Go casual with straight leg jeans or make it office-appropriate with a pencil skirt.

The faux fur
Nothing is quite as fabulous as faux fur! Sport a sleeveless version over just about anything or go for a bold look with an animal print version.

The coat
Whether you go for a Melton coat or trench, you can’t go wrong with a classic coat. Choose a neutral colour that you can throw over anything. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with print – a check coat is so on-trend.
The puffer
You can’t miss this trendy style this season. Go full on puffer or opt for a sleeveless version and wear it underneath you classic coat on those icy days. Pair it with tailored pants to keep it proportional.
R799, 32 to 46, H&M
The tweed
Sophisticated tweed is a big hit this winter. A peplum girly style is perfect with a fitted dress or skinny jeans, and an over-sized long-line jacket will spruce up your casual boyfriend jeans.
