Sponsored Post : Battle the Winter Blues

Dragging yourself out of bed in the morning to be greeted by a murky, cold day can leave even the most style-conscious feeling uninspired about winterwear. But adding new key pieces to your wardrobe this season can be a fantastic way to re-invigorate your look, add a splash of colour and beat away those winter blues! Check out Avenue 32 clothing for a great selection of designer pieces which are guaranteed to persuade you out of those comfy pyjamas and get you looking glammed up in an instant.

Your bootie slippers may look cute around the house, but will be no match for the chilly winter weather outdoors. You can make sure your feet stay snug by investing in a new pair of boots for the season. This may feel like a big spend, but quality footwear will last for many winters to come and can quickly become a firm favourite. Rather than traditional plain leather, look for textures which add interest to an outfit, like these Apperlai crocodile Gatsby boots. This modern shaped boot is available in a deep chocolate brown, so can be matched with a variety of outfits without the fear of clashing.

A fleece dressing gown may be a much-loved item come winter, yet the range of knitwear which has hit our stores this season certainly offers some competition! Wrapping up in warm fabrics can still be part of your daywear outfit, whilst making you look chic and unique. This quirky arts-and-crafts inspired Leutton Postle wrap cardigan is the ideal dressing gown replacement, featuring an open front in an oversized style. Luxury woven silk and mohair are blended to create this piece, and when paired with a long sleeved minidress, thick leggings and boots, is sure to keep you warm.

Winter weather can leave you feeling glum, especially if you’re stuck in an office and tired of your daily city commute. So why not head to the countryside and enjoy the crisp air and frosts – and do it in style too! Heritage fashion is huge right now, so channel traditional country chic and make a new purchase which will tempt you into the great British outdoors. We love these green wool plaid trousers by Thakoon Addition, which showcase the trend perfectly. Opt for a masculine look by pairing with a crisp white blouse and wax jacket. Wintery weather and rural retreats mean its probably best to swap those new boots for a pair of wellies.

The magpie-eyed girl will not resist being tempted by sparkly new accessories. Metallic hues can lift any evening look, add a spring to your step and allow you to face those dark early evenings looking smoking hot. Add some heavy metal with this chunky rose gold necklace by Mawi. The thick drain drips with a black Swarovski crystal pendant in this stunning art deco style piece. The lack of a single overpowering colour means you can easily pair this beauty with dresses in warm tones, or jewel brights.

So, discard those PJs and invest in some far chicer pieces this season. Quality, warmth, trend and opulence should be enough to help any girl trump those seasonal blues.
