7 Simple Yet Chic Outfits That Are Perfect for Winter Weekends

As much as we'd like to pretend they haven't, winter temperatures have well and truly set in. The mercury has dropped, and to be frank, it is well below what a summer-loving Australian like me is used to. I am in need of a heavy dose of winter outfit inspiration, as getting through the coming months will require a lot of planning. Where better to turn than Instagram? From images of cosy coats shot among fallen leaves to envy-inducing fluffy jackets and roll-neck jumper combinations, our set of fashion friends definitely know how to make anyone crave winter dressing. 

While winter might not be my season of choice, one thing working in its favour is the fact that it provides more opportunity to experiment with my wardrobe. The abundance of layers required to get through the day inevitably equates to an endless number of outfit combinations, and I can't deny there is something exciting about that. I'll be spending my winter weekends mixing and matching my favourite pieces to create outfits that prioritise warmth and comfort but don't lack style. A statement fluffy jacket and chunky sneakers? Check. A leather bomber jacket and loafers? Why not? Scroll through below for seven winter weekend outfits we'll be trying.

1. Knitted Co-ord + Boots

Style Notes: We like to think of knitted co-ords as loungewear that doesn't look like loungewear.

2. The Double Jumper

Style Notes: Sometimes the weather is so cold that one jumper is simply not enough. Make like Brittany Bathgate and layer your second knit around your shoulders so it's ready to go when the temperatures drop.

3. Classic Trench + Chunky Boots

Style Notes: A trench is great for the summer to autumn transition but layer it correctly enough and you can make it last well into winter too. Add chunky boots to your joggers and you'll be completely winter-proofed.

4. Black Bomber Jacket + Dark Denim

Style Notes: Take inspiration from Lucy and go for a pop of colour with a red sock, beige knit and loafers, before finishing it off with leather bomber jacket. And you can add a chunky scarf when it gets really cold.

5. All Beige Everything

Style Notes: Is there anything chicer than an all-beige outfit? I wager not. It's the easiest way to do luxe dressing in winter.

Style Notes:  If you're a cosy gal at heart, you need a fluffy teddy jacket in your wardrobe. Good news—there are plenty of styles around but this H&M version is one of the best on the high street. Team with grey denim and the sneaker of the moment—Adidas Sambas—for an easy weekend look.

7. Neutral Joggers + Trainers
