The cosy winter buys our fashion team swear by
It wasn't just the first day back in the office that came as a shock at the start of January; a sudden cold front meant that we were definitely snapped out of the warm fug of Twixmas with a bang (well, actually more of a whimper...)
Happily, though, this season's fashion trends are all about practicality, with power puffas, cosy head warmers and stompy boots all on the hot list right now.
