Do you ever glimpse someone wearing a puffer jacket, a beanie hat and a cashmere scarf and find yourself wanting to ask them, "Excuse me but what are you going to do when it's bitter?" I frequently do, conscious of not wanting to peak too early by diving into the heavy-duty side of my outerwear wardrobe, while freely admitting that my sports jacket isn't quite cutting the mustard when the wind-chill factor means the "feels like" temperature is -1.
Having done plenty of research, however, I've realised there's a solution to what to wear if the weather is cold but not bitingly cold—a wool jacket.
