You wake up in the morning, glance at the clock and realise you don’t have much time. You need a cute winter outfit for your day but, out of habit you reach for the usual; a sweater and jeans. Raise your hands if this sounds familiar. Now, having a winter uniform or a go-to outfit is never a bad thing, as long as you know how to change it up and elevate it. The last thing you want is for it to look like you’re wearing the same exact thing every day right? I’m guilty of having a winter outfit uniform, but I always make sure to follow three simple tips to elevate a simple winter outfit.

1. Swap your denim
It’s fine to always reach for a pair of black trousers or dark blue jeans but by simply switching up the colour or material of your bottoms, your whole outfit will have a totally fresh feel. If you always wear blue or black jeans, opt for a lighter colour denim, in a different fit. If you always wear black bottoms, why not try faux leather leggings instead? I swapped my trusty skinny jeans for a pair of wide-leg light blue mom jeans. It already made my outfit feel new!

2. Layer it up
Another great way to elevate your simple jeans and sweater look is to add another layer. Whether this is a cute little neck scarf, or a check blazer like the one I’m wearing here, a new layer on top of your old formula will make the whole outfit feel different.

3. Accessories are key
I love to swap my bags around and to always try and add a pop of colour to my outfit. I was able to do that with my little Chanel cross body in this outfit. For that extra touch, I even added a little scarf on my bag. This is a great little trick for any bag with any outfit. The pop of colour adds a new level of interest to your outfit!

So, your jeans and sweater combination will never feel stale again. Are you going to try any of these tips?

A little while ago I spent a day with fashion mega house Farfetch, learning all about their new watches and jewellery department and their collaboration with watchmakers Uniform Wares. Of course, for an occasion like this, I needed an outfit to match and I always say, when in doubt, go for an all black outfit. Some of you might think that an all black outfit is boring, or simply not inspiring enough but today I wanted to share with you the number one style trick on how to wear an all black outfit and still look incredible; mix textures.

The key to making any outfit pop is to try and mix in textures and patterns to add different points of interests. In regards to how to style all black, the rules are the same. I opted for a whopping four different textures in one look through my various details. My top, which I actually bought on Farfetch a few months ago, is a mix of knit and sheer. It’s the perfect autumn blouse and also adds an element of pattern with its stripes. My high waisted leather pants were a gift from Farfetch for the event and I love the boldness the vinyl brings to the look. Pro tip: lotion your legs and your pants to stop them from squeaking!

My accessories then complemented my look from my Prada belt bag in soft leather to my Uniform Wares watch with its beautiful suede strap. I actually got to customise my own strap which will be arriving in the next few weeks! All their materials are actually the same materials used by some of the biggest fashion houses in the world, but of course for much less! Now that’s luxury, isn’t it?
