Manchester Christmas Markets attracted thousands of shoppers to the city centre this week, getting everyone well and truly in the festive spirit. On Thursday, as well as checking out the new and unusual food stalls and discovering a half-metre bratwurst, I was also on the lookout for the best, most festive, and wintery looks for our weekly Steal Their Style feature.
I headed over to the Piccadilly Winter Gardens where many were queuing for the wide variety of food stalls, such as Oi Dumplings, Panc and Crunch. Some huddled beneath the new double tee-pee adorned with fairy lights, while others grabbed drinks from the bar and pottered around taking it all in.
It was a fairly mild day, and thankfully the rain held off for the launch, but many still wrapped up warm with hats, scarves and coats, because, well, it is Manchester, after all.
