Winter might be inching towards its end (call it optimism), but there’s plenty more cold days and nights ahead. Instead of counting down the days until spring brings warmer weather, lean into the cold and embrace the rituals and fashion cooler weather brings.
Even though it feels dark, cold and seemingly never-ending, investing in a curated selection of essentials can see you through until well past August. These six essentials are on heavy rotation.
Cosy Bedding
Few things rival climbing into bed on a cold day, especially since it’s been dark since 5pm. But the secret to a truly cosy bed is the layered bedding look. From heavy blankets and weighty quilts to breathable flannelette sheets, it’s the tactile textures that make winter wind downs so effortless.

An Investment Coat
For us, coat season brings a particular — very short-lived — excitement. There’s something about the practical item that can tie your winter outfit together in the chicest way. A beautifully cut coat is one of the few wardrobe investments that pays dividends every winter. Whether it’s a timeless trench coat or a long, tailored wool silhouette, it’s the piece you’ll reach for year after year.

Sunscreen
While you may already refresh your skincare routine with each season, sunscreen often gets left out of the winter routine. But just because the temperature drops, doesn’t mean the UV goes away.
So, as you reassess what your skin actually needs this winter, consider if your sun-protection could be working better for you. Winter calls for formulas that feel comfortable on the skin, so look for formulations with hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera and vitamin E to help keep your skin feeling supported throughout the day. Plus, a non-greasy, quick-dry, dermatologically tested formula will never go astray.
*Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Sunscreens are only one component of sun protection. Prolonged high-risk sun exposure should be avoided. Frequent use and re-application in accordance with directions is required for effective sun protection.

Loafers
While boots might be the classic shoe of the season, this winter, loafers are the shoe de jour. Once seen as purely preppy, the simple, effortlessly wearable style has become one of fashion’s most versatile wardrobe heroes. From chunky soles to bold colourways, the style lends itself just as much to off-duty dressing as it does office style.

A Signature Winter Scent
Whether it’s for your home or yourself, having a signature winter scent can transform the way you feel about the season. Whether it’s a signature home fragrance in rich, bold notes to more intimate skin scents, the sillage of a winter fragrance is often unparalleled.
A Comfortable Home
Winter invites a slower pace, where you often find yourself spending more time relaxing at home. A softly scented candle, a plush robe and the kind of slippers you never want to take off can transform even an ordinary evening into something that feels a little more luxurious.
