If you want to know how to keep warm this winter whilst making a fashionable effort, try the very ‘in’ style of mixing the casual with the smart all in one. Sounds like a Heston Blumenthal recipe right? But Anna here shows that it’s definitely more Cordon Bleu!

With her leather skirt from the French store La Redoute, her New look boots and her Zara over the body bag, her lower half is most definitely smart. But this is nicely complimented by her mens, (YES MENS) M&S jumper (because everyone loves a good oversized jumper) casual blue Primark coat and khaki thrifted bobble hat, bringing the casual back.

Anna’s advice – She likes to dress ‘boyish’ because there’s nothing more comfortable! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good boyfriend jumper, whether it be their actual other half’s or their fantasy boyf (I’m sure Zac Efron owns jumpers, right?)

Sheetal studied History at the University of Nottingham and was Campus Correspondent during her final year, before graduating in July 2014. She is currently jumping between jobs, whilst still writing for HC in her spare time. She may or may not be some of these things: foodie, book addict, world traveller (crazy dreamer!), lover of cheese, Australian immigrant, self-proclaimed photographer, wannabe dancer, tree hugger, lipstick ruiner, curly-haired and curious. She hopes for world peace and dreams that someday, cake will not make you fat.
