Puffer coats, not-quite Christmas jumpers and party-ready bags are in no short supply.

Christmas is right around the corner, and we’ve already shopped for Christmas party dresses, picked out the perfect present for our loved ones (almost!) and ordered the turkey. But, while we’re feeling festive, it can be easy to forget that our everyday winter wardrobes still need a bit of TLC. 

With the winter weather truly taking hold and snow and ice blanketing the country, we’re turning to comfier, cosier clothes – and we’re not complaining. Here at Stylist, we’re corralling knitwear, winter boots and lovely layering pieces at breakneck speed.

Luckily, when it comes to knowing what to buy and when to buy it, few are better placed to advise than a team whose very job it is to know what’s hot and where to get it from.

What makes the perfect Christmas Day outfit? 9 fashion insiders weigh in on what they’ll be wearing

Our fashion editors and directors have dedicated their careers to knowing what to buy, which brands to shop them from and what makes a piece a forever favourite rather than a seasonal star. So, for anyone already exhausted at the thought of figuring out the failsafe fashion finds from the potential fails, you’re in good hands.

From an elevated twist on a classic Christmas jumper  to stomper boots, statement shirts and disco-ready bags, our team’s winter wishlists have been created with cooler climes in mind. 

So, if you ever wanted to find out what the fashion editors are shopping for, then you’ve come to the right place. And the best part is each of our experts caters to separate styles. There’s certainly no one-size-fits-all mentality when it comes to fashion at Team Stylist.

• Hugo Boss water repellent jacket in recycled fabric

  The only way for me to keep warm without losing my mind over the cold is to snuggle up in a duvet coat. My go-to is this Boss knee-length number, which I affectionately call my wearable sleeping bag.

• Jigsaw patent Hatton trousers

  You can never have too many patent leather trousers during winter (or you can’t if you’re me, at least). I wear mine during the colder months with chunky knits, slouchy cotton shirts and statement T-shirts and they manage to keep me warm too.

• Ghost satin cutwork detail long sleeve blouse

  There is nothing more useful in your festive wardrobe than a ‘nice top’. I love this black cutout satin one from M&S because it’s a great blank canvas to take your look in any direction needed. With smart trousers and a slick hair do, you’ve got an evening look, and with relaxed denim and a cardigan you’ve got an ideal smart casual look.

• H&M oversized jacquard-knit jumper

  Call me Scrooge, but I just can’t get on board with a Christmas jumper – they are too much like forced fun in my opinion. But H&M’s loud and playful alpine number I can totally get on board with. It’s festive without feeling naff, and will last well into the cold months next year without feeling out of place. I’ll be wearing mine with some kind of elasticated waist on the big day for the ultimate cosy fit.
