There are some fashion rules that were meant to broken, and no white in winter is one of them. It might seem instinctive to reach for an all-black look for your cute winter outfit but I find an all-white look to be so much more impactful, while still being so simple to create. It still surprises me how a lot of my friends still ask me “Is it really okay to wear all white in the winter? Isn’t that just a summer thing?” Yes, it’s okay to look incredible in an all-white outfit this season because I’m about to show you how to wear white in the winter. No, it isn’t just a summer thing.

Now I’m not sure if we reach for an all black outfit in the winter because it reflects our feelings about the grim weather, or because it attracts more heat, but you can still be cosy and warm in white. An oversized knit in a fluffy material, or even a beautiful cable knit is the perfect place to start. I couldn’t resist wearing this beautiful Ba&sh jumper with the knotted back detail (Yes it’s totally this Sincerely Jules sweater! I bought it way back in the summer and have been waiting to wear it since!) I paired it with a pair of white high waisted trousers (Pro tip: Wear a pair of Uniqlo heat tech leggings underneath for an extra dose of warmth).

A great way to make all white work for you is with your accessories. I added in this shearling hat as the perfect winter outfit touch. Weaving in winter materials helps to keep your outfit in season. I’ve clearly grown to the idea of socks and heels as I thought it was the best way to wear my favourite heels while still staying warm!

So is this a rule you like to break in the winter? How do you wear all white? Comment below with your fashion story!

I once read an article about style tips for petite women like me. It said that if you’re petite, you should not layer. I strongly disagree with that statement. I’m just about 5’1 and I love to layer. If you’re a long-term follower of my blog you’ll notice that come winter, I actually like to layer up a lot! I know that a lot of you are also petite girls like me and so today I wanted to share some special style tips with you to show you how you can layer your outfits this winter without looking like your clothes are wearing you. We want to avoid the scene where Joey wears all of Chandler’s clothes and instead embrace a more chic look. Right? Right! Here are my top three tips:

1. Cinch your waist.
One of the best styling tips in your arsenal as a petite woman is to accentuate your waist. Highlighting your waist allows for you to add definition to your silhouette in your outfit. This stops you from looking lost in your clothes and can make your legs look longer. It’s also a great way to wear an oversized look without looking shorter. I added a belt over my turtleneck and my blazer jacket in this outfit.

2. Well fitted & High Waisted
When choosing your bottoms, well-fitted denim like skinny jeans, and high waisted denim or trousers are always a better option. It helps to make your legs look longer and again, emphasises your waist. Slimmer fits are always better because they define your shape better and stop you from looking like you’re swimming in your clothes.

3. Black is your friend.
Black is renowned for making us all look slimmer but for petite girls, an all-black outfit can actually also make you look taller. The monochrome effect works very well when you’re shorter! For more tips on how to wear an all black outfit without it looking basic, check out my styling tips here.

Game of Thrones may not be here yet but winter is definitely coming. Although I love the summer sunshine and long days, my favourite part about winter is bringing out a beautiful winter coat for those crisp mornings, but how do you find the best coat for you? With so many options from the high street to your favourite brands, it can be tricky finding the best winter coat for your body type.

After spending hours searching the web and stores, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite winter coats of the season, no matter budget or which style you may be looking for. To give you a little bit of help along the way, I’ve also created a three-step checklist so that you can make sure you’ve found the right coat for you. The coat I’m wearing here is from the high street and it’s a cashmere and alpaca mix so the price is amazing for what it is! I’ve linked to this coat below but I’ve also shared a lot of other options in different categories below so scroll down for that!

1. Is it the right colour?
This all depends on whether you’ve already got your capsule winter wardrobe or you’re still building it. If you’ve got all your basic colours (black, camel, navy, white) then feel free to play around a bit and grab a coat in maybe a pattern like plaid or tartan. If you’re still building your basics, then go for a neutral that you know will last you for more than just one season.

2. Is it the right fit for your body?
The key to the right winter coat is being able to dress for your body. If you’re petite like me and want a beautiful long coat like the one I’m wearing, make sure it has a cinched waist or some sort of waist definition. This helps you look taller when you wear it instead of shorter! If you’re already quite tall, a dramatic length is fabulous but you can also try a shorter shape, maybe even a puffier jacket! Feel free to comment below to get more personalised advice based on your body type!

3. Is it the right material?
I always look at what a coat is made of so I can make sure that it will actually keep me warm! Depending on the material you also know how much you’ll need to layer up underneath it and when in the season you can wear it! Once you look at the material, you’ll also know if you need it!
