Fourteen cold weather essentials to keep you warm all winter
There’s a chill in the air – but we’ve got everything you need to stay toasty, from cosy coats to necessary knits
Friday 20 October 2023 By Chloe Lawrance
There’s no two ways about it: winter is officially on its way. On one hand, that means rainy days curled up in front of the fire at our Houses with a glass of red in hand. On the other, it means you have the perfect excuse for a little change-of-season shopping.
That’s where we come in. Each week, we bring together a round-up of the best pieces currently out there. Think of it as a cheat sheet for what’s worth your investment in beauty, fashion and beyond right now. (Not to mention an opportunity to get the inside scoop on some of the hottest brands founded by your fellow members). This week’s Hot List is dedicated to all things cosy season, with versatile knits, chic coats, practical accessories, and so much more.
