The most wonderful time of the year has finally arrived and that can only mean one thing for fashionistas—shopping time! Just like every other year, it’s best to start early but if you’re not sure what to get, we’ve got your back. Read on to discover some of our favourite finds, including the Loewe Anagram jumper and the Valentino embellished miniskirt.

 

Chanel Iridescent Tweed jacket

The classic Chanel tweed jacket needs no introduction and if you’re stuck for outfit ideas, this iridescent version is the way to go.

Acne Studios Mohair Checked scarf

Although winter jackets can keep you warm when you’re out in the cold, they can only cover so much of your body, and most of the time, leave your neck exposed to the chilly wind. So why not get the Acne Studios’ mohair-checked scarf? The scarf is made of a soft mohair blend with fringed ends and comes in a range of colourways, including this mix of violet, yellow and blue. The best part is that you can personalise it with embroidery of letters, numbers, or symbols.

Loewe Anagram sweater

The Loewe Anagram sweater is a great pick if you have a soft spot for logomania. The mohair-blend jumper arrives in grey melange and sports the brand’s emblem knit into the silhouette. Aside from the loose fit that accommodates all the layers inside, the dropped shoulders offer more room for comfort and mobility.
