Temperatures are dropping and we’re reaching for anything to bundle us up and keep us warm (boyfriends included).
Thankfully, there are a multitude of options to keep us cosy this winter.
Try a cable knit sweater in mustard yellow, one of the season’s biggest colors, or experiment with the newest fashion faux pas-turned-trend: ugly sneakers. If you’re not ready for bold fashion statements, swap your go-to silhouette for a similar piece in a bright new hue. You can test out daring colors like fire engine red and emerald in cuts that you know flatter you. Best of both worlds!
