Dressing up in our favourite Christmas party outfits and New Year’s Eve looks is always fun, but realistically most of us spend more time in snuggly jumpers and jeans this time of year. Warmth and style can be a tricky combination to nail with an outfit and Dame Mary Berry mastered it last year with a shearling-focused beach outfit.
For a day cooking with Strictly dancer Oti Mabuse on the beach in cold weather in the BBC’s Mary Makes Christmas, she wrapped up warm in a cream borg jacket, shearling-lined combat boots, jeans and a grey bobble hat. Faux fur coats are back in a big way in 2025 as a winter coat trend and yet borg and shearling options are easier to style.
