While I’m not a big fan of winter weather, I am a big fan of a winter wardrobe. Cozy knits, layers, and neutral colors make putting together an outfit an easy task—even on dark mornings when you’ve just rolled out of bed.
This year, I bought (and built a capsule wardrobe), with the help of M&S. And while you may be familiar with the king of the high street for all your food needs, in recent years the brand has established itself as a key player in the fashion industry – and for good reason. .
With celebrity fans including Vogue Williams and even Kate Middleton, M&S offers affordable yet high-quality staples that you’ll inevitably reach for again and again.
From cold weather appropriate clothing to luxe coats and cozy knitwear, here are mine first choices from the last drop of M&S – and how I styled them.
Take the hassle out of winter dressing in this cold weather fit midi dress. Crafted from a thick material to keep you cozy during the colder months, the dress boasts a relaxed understated shape and a sleek column-style silhouette.
For an on-trend look, I paired this with tights and moccasins or a pair of chunky boots.
A turtleneck pullover is a winter wardrobe staple, and I love this super-soft option. With a textured finish and made from cloud yarn to keep you soft and cozy on chilly days, the relaxed fit with slouchy drop shoulders further adds to the low maintenance look.
Wear it with leather pants or your favorite pair of black jeans for an understated but chic outfit that’s suitable for both the office and the bar.
Only one thing is certain when it comes to January in the UK: it will be wet – that calls for a good coat.
I love this quilted parka design from M&S, quilted with an extra lining for extra warmth, and boasting a velor collar and dressy cuffed sleeves (which gives off the Ganni vibe, for less). Gift bags guarantee optimal space for your everyday essentials, and this is a great layering piece to go over jumpers or over maxi dresses for spring outfit pairings.
Think denim jackets are only for spring and summer? Think again! The borg-lined design (which looks at the cuffs), provides extra warmth and comfort, while the high collar and practical flap pockets add a sense of utility.
Go bold with double denim and pair it with your favorite blue jeans, wear it over activewear sets or layer it over dresses – whichever way you wear it, it looks great.
Animal print was huge throughout 2024, and the trend doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon.
Knitted from pure cashmere for a sumptuously soft and luxurious look and feel, the jersey also boasts dropped shoulders with a classic satin neckline for a relaxed yet even fit. Pair with your favorite pair of jeans, leggings or a black a-line skirt.
Another coat that works for both the office and a night out with friends, this knit top is the perfect option for the colder months. The slim fit paired with the Bardot neckline is universally flattering, while the ribbed texture adds to the cozy feel.
The perfect top for any occasion, I have to combine it with jeans, straight pants and skirts – it really goes with anything.
Whether for lounging or pairing it with your favorite chunky knit, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of joggers.
I’ll be wearing this cotton blend pair from M&S all winter long, boasting a barrel leg shape with added elastic for a flexible feel.
This satin shirt brings new meaning to smart casual, designed with an easy regular fit and smart crew neck.
A must have for the easy office look, the lightweight finish and iridescent buttons lend themselves to an extra stylish finish. Pair with jeans and loafers for an effortless look that’s right on trend.
Another outerwear option that gives off Ganni vibes, this quilted jacket might just be my favorite from M&S’s new collection.
The versatile piece has been designed with a regular shape and baseball-style ribbed neckline, as well as a quilted finish. Featuring padding to keep you warm, as well as water-repellent technology, the jacket is great for wearing on its own during the warmer months, but can also be worn under a thicker coat if it’s chilly.
Skirts aren’t just for summer. An all-season wardrobe staple, this jersey skirt boasts an elastic waistband for added comfort, as well as a pleated mesh overlay for added texture.
In the winter months, pair with your favorite chunky t-shirts and biker boots, and when spring returns, put on a graphic t-shirt and try the trend of ballet flats.
