Remember, remember the 5th of November. Everyone knows the rhyme. But before heading out to the firework night in celebration of Guy Fawkes, there are a few other things that you should try to remember, and keeping warm is the predominant theme!
Winter wardrobes are so much more than a big coat and a knitted jumper. Remembering all of the accessories will help you to stay toastie warm in the freezing temperatures that hit throughout these winter months. So here’s a Top 5 for staying warm this bonfire night.
1. Faux fur headbands- These were the essential winter accessory last year, and they certainly are lingering into this season too. The Russian inspired fur headband is the most stylish way for girls to keep warm. Who wants to ruin their hair from a beanie or a bobble hat? No one. So by making sure that you head is at least half covered, is one of the easiest ways to fight off the chill.
2. Chunky scarves- For me, scarves are the ultimate accessory. Huge ranges, making them suitable for sun and snow, wearing a a scarf does so much more to your outfit, as well as keeping you warm. Now, for winter, you can forget the pretty chiffon numbers and bring back the chunky, cable knits. Tied loosely around your neck whilst accompanied with the rest of your outfit, a chunky scarf will seem like your new best friend when the weather is at it’s lowest.
3. Boots- Wellingtons, Uggs, Cowboy boots, the list is endless. But there is no point in braving the weather for firework night if you haven’t got yourself a pair of boots. Baring all for your ankles, winter boots make the perfect accompaniment to any outfit. Furry linings will help to keep your feet warm, and the one thing that your Mum would always say is that you lose the most heat from your feet!
4. Gloves- It seems like an obvious solution, but you’ll be surprised how many people face the winter without any gloves. There is so much choice on the high streets of today, leather, cotton, fleece. These are all a great way to get your hands warm and make sure that frost bite doesn’t pay you a visit. As a child you would always be told to wear your gloves, and unless you’ve lost one, leather gloves are an ideal accessory to a stylish winter wardrobe.
5. Roll-necks- finally one of the biggest mistakes that could be made is a lack of roll-neck jumpers. Firework night, standing around, head in the sky, and you haven’t layered up. Big mistake. At least with a roll-neck, every inch of your upper body is enclosed in knitwear. It’s so easy to layer up with roll necks, also, because you can’t see any tops that you may have laying underneath.
So remember, remember, make sure you’ve got the essentials to staying warm before you head out for a night of firework and bonfire celebrations.
