When the weather starts to get colder, the temptation to stay inside all snuggled up in bed intensifies even more. Sadly, even when the weather is terrible, you still need to go and impress people at work, take care of your kids, and run all of your errands, so instead of shying away from the cold, you need to learn how to be prepared for it.

This guide is going to give you the building blocks of a style checklist, two essentials and two extras, from autumn to winter so that you can be warm, comfortable, and bang on trend all season long.

The Essentials

The essentials of an autumn and winter style checklist are those pieces of clothing that can be worn with almost anything and tick both the boxes of comfort and style.

As the autumn begins, the first essential you need to get your hands on is a cashmere sweater. Cashmere sweaters are the warmest and softest item you will ever have in your wardrobe and are perfect for layering under a light jacket for going out just as the weather begins to turn. The great thing about this item is that is can be dressed up for work (worn with a shirt and tie) but just as easily be made casual (with a pair of jeans) for the weekend.

As you begin to find yourself in the depth of winter, then the next style essential you need is a gorgeous and functional winter coat. The best way to find a coat that has the perfect combination of these two attributes is to buy from a trusted outerwear brand, such as Gloverall.com, who have a long history of making quality coats.

These two essentials can be layered together when it gets freezing outside to give you some extra protection against the frost.

The Extras

There are two additional items which you will be able to add some extra style to your autumn/ winter collection to give you some added warmth as the season continues.

The first additional item you need to add to your style checklist at this time of year is the right hat. When it comes to hats, it is essential that you find a style that works for you and your current wardrobe. For example:

Younger look: Beanies, bobble hats, and caps are more suited to younger faces and best paired with shorter hair. For an extra pop of youthful energy, try sporting a bright orange colour which is in season right now.

Refined look: Flat caps are ideal when looking for a little bit more class and work great with slightly longer hair. The best colours for flat caps are navy blue, brown, grey, and green tartan. Why not try pairing the shade with your eyes for additional style? 

The second extra item and last thing on your checklist is a good pair of gloves. Choosing gloves is a lot easier once you know what to look for in winter gloves.

As a general rule, go for leather if you want something durable, waterproof, and classic, whereas going for a sporty, lined, ski-style glove is a better choice if you are going to be spending a lot of time outside this festive season.
