Winter Woollies
This season’s welcome trend is not only super-comfortable, but also eclectic and economical, writes Grainne Byrne.
If you want to
rock the grunge
look over the
festive period,
this laddered knit
top from ASOS
(£38) is the cool,
nonchalant
number for you.
Great for wearing
with skirts and
fashion’s biggest
footwear trend,
the biker boot.

Year after year knitwear is the sure-fire comeback queen in winter time, when it’s practical to keep warm, but still important to look hot.
Perhaps not the preference of every knitwear fan is the revival of 1980s-style, oversized, embellished knitted sweaters, a trend which our favourite High Street stores have sensitively revived for some cool ways to wear wool.
Whatever you wear this winter, make sure you’re wrapped up in style. You never know who ewe might bump into! l
For indoor winter wear
grab a pair of
Snowlake Pom-Pom
knitted moccasins from
Marks & Spencer
(£12) to keep you
comfy and stylish when
chilling at home.
Whether in sub-zero Siberia or
wind-blown Princes Street
Gardens, this Mongolian Scarf
from River Island (£34.99) is
long enough to wrap around
both you and your loved one.
Also shown: Aztec felted coat,
£59.99; Slouch soft knit
cardigan, £29.99; Flannel
leggings, £17.99; Leather
Naomi tassel bag, £199;

Dorothy Perkins has a
fantastic range for winter
with lots of oversized
jumpers, knitted dresses
and accessories, such as
the Dynasty-inspired, off-
shoulder sweater (£35) –
perfect for a casual look
teamed with leggings or
tights and heels for hitting
the tiles.
If you’d rather retire to
your softer side by
snuggling up in a kitsch
but cool knitted number,
then this feline Intarsia
Kitty Knit Dress from Joy
(£55) is perfect for ladies
who, like their cats, would
rather be by the ireside
than in the moshpit.
