"Winter fashion for me is all about staying warm, cosy and yet being trendy. My wardrobe would include a jazzed up sweater. It could sport embellishments, prints or patch work. Another favourite is the turtleneck; it is warm, classy and never goes out of style. Winter is the perfect time to also play around with layers. A long coat with high waisted pants or a scarf with a jacket would look great. Different lengths of jackets and textures of materials can be mixed and matched. Knitted sweaters are a great pick for a sophisticated yet simple look; they can be paired with fitted pants and a little flashy jewellery. Winter is also the time to bring out the good old boots, which complement many looks."

"Winter is the time to wear my favourite bomber jackets, blazers and preppy sweaters which were stuck in my closet for ages. I also love using scarves and stoles to accessorise my outfits which not only gives it a wintery look but also keeps me warm and cosy. The colour palette of most of my outfits sticks to neutral tones like nude, beige, pinks, pastels, white etc. Usually I prefer not to wear bright-coloured outfits in winter."

"Winter is not my favourite season. It is quite gloomy so I usually go for bright colours to lift my mood and stand out in the crowd. The only reason I look forward to winter is because of the winterwear. I love wearing oversized jackets and my personal favourites are long jackets. It is a classic and looks great on everyone. Long jackets can be paired with a variety of pants, leggings or boots to create a new and chic look every time."
