Helen Skelton's elevated cosy-casual blend of a shearling jacket, flattering skinny jeans and practical khaki boots is the winter outfit inspiration we needed to help us keep warm in style this season.
When you've put together your winter capsule wardrobe, curating a collection of versatile, basic pieces that can see you through the season in both style and warmth, styling elevated casual outfits is a breeze - and Helen Skelton has proved just that with her latest look.
The presenter looked impossibly stylish in a number of high-street pieces over on Instagram and created the cosiest winter outfit with her Boden High Rise Skinny Jeans in the shade Mid Wash acting as the perfect base for her country-chic look. With M&S's viral Buckle Coat thrown over her Wardrobe 44 Orla mohair-blend jumper and a pair of FairFax And Favour's Anglesey Moss Green Combat Boots keeping her feet dry and warm, the look was so cosy and felt effortlessly put-together.

We're so glad skinny jeans have made their comeback this year, with the style working universally and brilliantly on every size and shape. No matter which style of jeans is best for your body shape, the skinny style is a go-to for everyone, with the simple silhouette creating a sleek and versatile base on which you can build up almost any type of look.
Helen went for an appropriately country-chic style with her outfit as she filmed for her Channel 5 show On The Farm and layered a white lace shirt underneath her stunning striped mohair jumper. This layering trick added so much texture to her outfit, with the crisp collar elevating the jumper's simple crew neckline - it's also another layer of warmth which, in the middle of winter, we will always welcome.
The navy knit of the jumper complimented the deep indigo-blue denim of her Boden jeans beautifully and we love the festive pop of red in the stripe details.
It wouldn't be a winter outfit without a flattering winter coat and Helen opted for a super trendy piece with the M&S Textured Buckle Coat. This high-street buy has been a favourite among M&S shoppers, with its cosy shearling fabric and laid-back fit making it a warm piece that can be layered over thick jumpers without going bulky. The longline hem is so flattering, with the neutral colour making it a great and versatile addition to any wardrobe.
For another practical touch, Helen accessorised with the Willow Beanie from North Ridge and let its cosy knit keep her warm while the tight fit and thick rolled hem made sure her loose, beachy waves remained in place despite the howling winter winds. The khaki colour complimented her shining blonde strands beautifully and also tied the deep green shade of her lace-up boots into the outfit too.
We love the practical choice of footwear Helen opted for, with the chunky sole, calf-height leg, and shining eyelet details of her boots effortlessly balancing practicality with a cool country-chic look. The entire outfit is a masterclass in keeping warm this winter and proves that we can all put together cosy and winter-ready looks that don't sacrifice a style in order to keep you warm with just a few basic wardrobe staples.
