Winter can create challenges when it comes to styling outfits due to the unpredictable, but usually freezing, weather. Making sure your outfit is both practical and stylish is often difficult. One element I personally forget isn't just there for keeping me warm, and can in fact be a key feature of my outfit, is hats, scarfs and gloves! 

I'll be the first to admit my collection consists of a black knit hat with a faux fur pom pom, a pair of grey gloves from Morrisons and a neutral check scarf from M&S. It's very simple, practical and although not at all unstylish, there was hardly a conscious decision to purchase a stylish set that adds depth and interest to my outfit.

Therefore, as one of my Blogmas posts this year, I've decided to write a 'best on the highstreet' for hats, scarves and gloves! Below I have created five sets that range from comfy streetwear to more formal pieces perfect for looking glamorous and warm!

Topshop Hat £14.00, Urban Outfitters Gloves £15.00, Topshop Scarf £26.00


This is certainly one of the more glamorous looks on the post. The colours I've opted for have rich hues that create an elegant ambiance, this is complimented by the contrast of the faux fur beret and luxurious velvet scarf.

Urban Outfitters Scarf £26.00, Urban Outfitters Gloves £16.00, Urban Outfitters Hat £16.00

Together these three pieces are playful and youthful. I can almost envision Kevin McCallister wearing this set- it has old-fashioned, vintage vibes written all over it. You wont fail to feel warm wearing these chunky knit pieces and they'd look perfect on a winter walk in the woods.

Urban Outfitters Hat £16.00, Zara  Scarf £25.99, Zara Gloves £29.99

This look is very trend lead with the leopard print scarf being the main feature. I think the deep maroons and greens are very classy, sophisticated colours that compliment the more stylised shape of the beret. Overall, this look is perfect for styling up and down! 


Topshop Hat £14.00, Zara Scarf £25.99, Urban Outfitters Gloves £15.00


I wanted to throw a look with vibrant colours into the mix because I do enjoy wearing a pop of colour in the winter months. This set oozes energy with bright colours and the miss match patterns. Overall it's wonderfully fun and would most certainly stand out in a crowd.


Zara Scarf £17.99, Urban Outfitters Gloves £15.00, Zara Hat £17.99

This final look give's me a very 'London Chic' vibe. I think we all own a baker boy hat from summer and the scarf and gloves are timeless pieces that can be found just about anywhere- its easy to recreate and will look effortlessly stylish on.

There's my favourite pieces this season, leave me a comment on what you'd like to read next and tell me which set is your favourite! Thanks for reading, my other links are listed below! Happy Blogmas!

La double J is a brand I have only recently come across. At first I followed their Instagram and I admit, I dismissed them slightly. It was not that I didn't love their designs but it just didn't click in my head how beautiful their garments were. Flash forward a few months and I came across them again. I have to admit I'm astonished I wasn't obsessed with them from the get go! 

Recently I've found myself heading to longer dresses as I find the classy style of them much more to my taste. La Double J perfectly defines what I'm enjoying about fashion at the moment, bold and intricate floral patterns with vintage inspired silhouettes. Personally when I put on a midi or full length dress  I can't help but feel effortlessly chic, but, how I would describe La Double J is outrageously chic. They don't shy away from using clashing, vibrant colours with bold, eye-catching patterns, in fact, they embrace it. The cherry on top of the cake is all that's needed to complete a look with one of these dresses is a pair of white pumps and a handbag, an effortless outfit that will turn everybody's heads!

PS19 Collection


Whilst hunting for some new brands to follow this evening I came across Brogger. How I would best describe their collections is a surprisingly harmonious blend of streetwear and femininity. The collections showcase a playful use of colour and print to create elegant womenswear. Of all the collections I've scrolled through the PS19 has to be my favourite due to the vibrant colour palette. Specifically, I think the addition of the yellow ruffle on the collar of the pink suit is both fun and unique. You would fail to look boring in one of their suave suits and if you haven't already headed straight to their Instagram I suggest you do so now as I can see this brand releasing many more beautiful collections in future.

Animal print is in, enjoy it whilst it lasts. It's not for everyone, some are still weary of it's possible tacky nature. The truth is the line between classy and questionable is fine and finding the perfect zebra print will take time. However, I am momentarily very much enjoying wearing my wide-leg-leopard-print New Look trousers. Personally, I am of the opinion that if you are going to take on an animal print, don't pick an accessory or small accent. Wear a statement piece. A head to toe tiger print suit never hurt anybody, I think if you've got the confidence then go for it.

Head to toe jungle-chic not enough for you? Merge your animal prints with a vivid neon and do two trends at once. It's certainly a statement and possibly not everyday attire but, frankly, I think it's a modern twist on a classic print which screams fun.  

Neon's aren't the only colours switching up the classic animal prints. It's clear many designers have chosen to re-envision a classic animal print with a new colour palette. For example, snake skin has never looked so elegant compared to Vivetta's sultry slip dress from their AW18 Milan catwalk.
