You might think that shopping after the holidays is a bit of a faux pas. But we think it's totally fair to buy yourself whatever Santa didn't deliver. And that's not the only excuse. The temperatures have well and truly dropped, so getting yourself a new set of cosy staples for the frosty season is actually practical, right?
In the interests of keeping cosy, but also looking smart and stylish as we return to work after a glorious few days off, we've already bought this chic River Island tie-front co-ord and this lightweight but warm jacket from Next – both in this season's biggest colour, of course. Speaking of which, next on our to-buy list is this burgundy cardigan from Mango. Not only does it look incredibly cosy, but the crossover collar is so trendy.
The cardi, which was designed in Barcelona, is made from a chunky knit fabric and features an off-centre front closure with buttons. The long sleeves ensure you'll stay super warm while wearing it, too.
We'd pair this burgundy cardigan with a pair of wide-leg jeans, like these ones, which are also from Mango. As for shoes, wide-leg pants are best paired with heeled mules for smarter looks or trainers if you're going casual. Go for a matchy-matchy moment with these burgundy heeled mules from Topshop at ASOS or, if comfort is your priority, these Nike Dunks should definitely be in your basket.
