The knit set will continue to be a fan favorite in 2022.  A knitwear set is something that has become a fashionable take on glam leisure and a set can present so many fashion possibilities, wear them together or as separates. Often pants and a top, this knit set changes that up a notch with a fab maxi tube skirt and top, perfect for layering up this winter. Style with white trainers a cross body bag and a chunky scarf.

Hard to imagine, but knitted vests were once uncool. Now, they’ve gone from grandads staple to a high-fashion fave. This is an important layering piece for winter, try it over a white shirt and add a blazer. Then when the weather gets a bit warmer ditch the shirt and blazer and wear it with your wide leg trousers for a stylish comfortable look.

Shackets (shirt style jacket) are the absolute perfect layering piece through autumn, winter and spring. Popular wool-blend and leather styles are thicker than your average shirt but thinner than a heavy winter coat so they are easily layered over a turtleneck and under an overcoat when its colder.

What blazers are trending in 2022, tweed, houndstooth, boyfriend blazer, oversized double-breasted blazer, oversized single-breasted blazer, you name it they are in! They are not just for the office anymore, blazers are such a versatile piece that can be dressed up and down and are one of the best layering pieces you can have in your wardrobe.

A suit doesn’t always need to be formal office wear. To wear it casually split up the pieces- add a sweater and trainers with the pants, or a pair jeans and chunky boots with the blazer. Keeping it young and cool, go for a bold block colour and add a crop top or a plain t-shirt, and don’t over accessorise. Layer with knits and a chunky scarf to keep you warmer in the cooler months.

The turtleneck is the ultimate cosy sweater but it can also be a versatile layering piece. Not only can they be worn with skirts and sweater dresses but also lace dresses and printed dresses giving them a hint of collegiate style. And don’t be afraid to layer turtlenecks under dresses, vests, jackets, parkas and ponchos. If you’re wearing them with trousers try a thicker knit and pair with a wide leg style.

Winter wouldn’t be complete without a scarf and when the weather turns, the warmer the better!  Try a chunky scarf this winter in a plaid blanket style, this scarf from Farmers is a paired down version if you aren’t brave enough to go bold with your plaid. If you’re looking for something more classic try a classic grey chunky scarf with a leather biker jacket – you can’t go wrong with this look.

It might sound odd to be talking crop tops in winter but they are very on trend for a youthful cool look. They are super versatile and can be worn with almost anything, a fab layering piece for the youth. Try a corset version like this one from Dotti with an oversized suit and trainer.

You might not think about sunglasses much in the winter but when the clouds clear and a beautiful crisp clear winter day appears, you will be reaching for them. They are a fantastic accessory to complete a look. To stay on trend try large angular and squared frames which make a statement and add more character to your face.
