Think fuzzy. Think fluffy. Think cosy. Anything that stimulates sensory pleasure to bring us that little extra bit of comfort.

With government guidelines keeping us locked up inside, it’s all about our environment to keep us sane. Not to sound like one of those spiritual wellbeing influencers, but clothes mean a lot. Known by fashion psychologists as 'enclothed cognition', it's true that what we wear has a systematic influence on our psychological processes. It stands to reason, then, that in choosing clothes that make us feel happy, protected and comforted, lockdown will look a lot brighter.
