JUST BECAUSE the nights are getting darker doesn’t mean you have to start dressing in sombre shades. There are plenty colour-popping winter warmers to brighten up your day. Aside from keeping you cosy, a great winter coat can be an instant outfit update, making a casual look more elegant or adding a sparkle on a rainy day.
