Spring flowers may be starting to come up, but we haven’t seen the back of winter yet — with temperatures as low as minus 7c in some parts of the UK, this week is expected to be the coldest of the winter so far.
So, to help you stay cosy and chic, here is our A to Z of all you need to keep the chill at bay. Whether it’s clever layering in high-tech fabrics, snuggly fleeces or indulgent cashmere, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to looking good . . .
Stay safe when walking in snow or ice with these snug boots, which are a celebrity favourite in ski resorts. They’ll stop you slipping on plain old pavements, too, thanks to the heavy tread, while a fleece lining keeps feet warm for hours.
