Is it just me or has it suddenly got freezing? I’m currently wearing a checked wool scarf over a corduroy dress over jeans, not forgetting thick socks and a pair of sheepskin-lined slippers, and am still considering tucking a hot water bottle into my belt. This doesn’t exactly bode well when the only socialising (outside our household) that we’re going to be able to do this month is meeting one other person in the great outdoors. Unless working up a sweat by sprinting around the park together sounds fun, you’re going to want to shift your wardrobe into winter gear - and fast.
Luckily, the high street has some brilliant buys that are 1) under £30 and 2) guaranteed to winter-proof your wardrobe. From padded gloves (an absolute essential) to a rather neat zipped collared (great if you don’t love the bulk of scarves), here are the nine winter buys to add to your shopping list.
