2. Choosing winter gloves

Looking for a lovely pair of stylish gloves? Consider these options to get started:

• Organic sheep’s wool gloves: Organic wool is a type of biodegradable and natural fibre, this wool is especially farmed to consider the environment and sustainability. These gloves are soft to the touch, very warm, and incredibly stylish.
• Recycled cashmere gloves: Cashmere gloves are a beautiful accessory for any winter look, however not all cashmere is eco-friendly. To be a green fashionista lookout for brands that use recycled cashmere, such as ‘Organic Basics’.

3. The right jewellery

When you’re all wrapped up in your winter coat, it’s likely that your necklaces and bracelets will be obscured from view. Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that you can’t add a little bit of bling to your look! For instance, you could try adding pins and brooches to your coat. To stay on-trend, try adding an insect broach to your coat, whether a bee or a dragonfly. When accessorizing your winter dresses, choose a classic charm bracelet, the Nomination Charms brand has some beautiful designs on offer.

4. Trending scarves

Wondering which type of scarves are trending right now? It’s all about faux fur, oversized knit, or cashmere color block scarves. If you’re looking to save a bit of money and go green, why not try shopping using a pre-loved or vintage clothing app? Apps such as ThredUp, Vinted or Depop have plenty of options for vintage and second-hand items in great condition. With the handy search filter options, it’s simple to search by brand, style, or price.

5. Consider sustainability 

As we’ve touched on already, it’s important to consider sustainability when creating your winter look, there are plenty of ways you can do this including:

• Supporting sustainable and green brands.
• Shopping for quality as opposed to fast fashion.
• Looking out for eco-friendly materials, i.e soy cashmere, hemp, and organic cotton.
