It’s no secret that winter weather comes with a whole host of seasonal inconveniences; from having to sacrifice those precious 10 minutes of snoozing your alarm to de-ice your windscreen to working out how your dining table is going to accommodate a family-sized feast, the likelihood of your wardrobe trepidations making their way onto the festive back burner is unsurprisingly high. But when the merriments creep closer and the pressure of finding that perfect party piece starts to simmer, the checklist that accompanies the search can make finding this showstopper a near-impossible task. Is it modishly on-trend? Is it sub-zero degree weather appropriate? Will it accommodate a stomach full of pigs in blankets and after dinner Bailey’s?

Saving you the hours of retail hassle, tick this challenge off your to-do list and avoid the nightmare of last-minute panic buys which – let’s be honest – eventually end up making their way back to the returns counter anyway.
