Ten pieces for a winter wardrobe that lasts

A wardrobe that works is not a big one. These ten pieces, chosen well and worn often, cover every day of winter.

1. A wool coat in a colour you love, cocoon or straight.
2. A trench for the days in between.
3. Two jumpers: one fine merino, one chunky.
4. A long cardigan to layer over everything.
5. Straight jeans in a mid wash.
6. A black midi dress, with boots or trainers.
7. Leather boots you can resole.
8. A silk scarf to change a look in a second.
9. A good bag, big enough for a day.
10. Three plain tees in organic cotton.

Buy less, choose better

Each of these pieces costs a little more than its high-street version and lasts five times longer. Our brands mend what they make, too.
