Why are men so difficult to buy for? Is it because they often just go out and buy what they want when they want? Do they not hanker after as much as women?

It is a question I am getting asked the most right now due to our current situation. But I do feel like alot of these suggestions can also cross over to weekend wear, school run outfits and general casual looks so I’m not just aiming these at the dogwalkers out there but giving you inspiration aswell as practical tips for some inspirational outfits to walk in.
It’s a hard look to pull off looking stylish whilst walking, not wanting to muddy your favourite jeans, but also wanting to stay warm and not sweat too. The most important elements to your walking outfit is coats/jackets and shoes. This is a formula that I use for all clients when starting with their wardrobe, investing in coats and shoes will be the best money you could spend. But when out walking you need to take alot more practical things into consideration, waterproofing jackets and footwear, comfort of clothes, pockets in jackets and warm but lightweight layers that don’t make you sweat.
So I have pulled together some outfits that I hope will inspire you to want to dress more stylish on those walks but also ticking the practical box too.

Winter is in the air, which means it’s time to grab your coats and wrap up warm against those chilly Winter mornings. If you coat has seen better days then now is the time to invest in a new one, something that’s both stylish and practical, warm yet flattering - hard to find right? Then let me guide you through which silhouettes, fabrics and shapes will keep you looking upto date and see you through the cold days.
No matter how varied your style is I bet that there’s one item of clothing you wear day in, day out: your winter coat. So why not make it the best item you buy all year. A good coat should be at the very core of everyone’s cold-weather wardrobe, and can last for years, if not decades. Plus, a nice coat is a way to dress up without having to do much. You can throw on a leopard print wool coat over a hoodie and jeans for a midday walk with a friend or swaddle yourself in a full-length puffer that makes you feel like you’re still in the comfort of your own bed when you are on the school run. There are so many different styles out there right now it’s hard to chose just one.
But that’s my top tip, don’t limit yourself to just one coat thinking that it will be fine for every occasion you might have in your life. Think about you lifestyle, what do you do, work, kids, dog, social, hobbies, where and when do you wear your coat for will dictate what you need. Each coat can give you a different look, be more practical than another one, or make a statement, you have to think about what is important to you and it might be you need 3 coats to tick every box in your life.
Over the past few weeks I’ve shopped coats for clients and for myself, so I can guarantee you will find your new favourite from my list below.
