We don't want to be biased here, but nothing beats a duvet coat. A cosy final layer which resembles a sleeping bag and keeps you toasty during all of your important errands (read: finally sending that Vinted parcel and hunting for a 'good enough' bottle of sauvignon blanc).
A duvet coat is, of course, practical for when the weather ultimately turns and stays blisteringly cold until May, but they are also undeniably stylish, too. We personally love to wear a duvet coat over Adanola leggings and with a pair of cute UGG dupes, but the possibilities are endless. In fact, the beauty of a duvet coat is you can wear ANYTHING underneath and no one would ever know.
The price per wear is officially girl mathin'.
