When we spotted Vicky Pattison in M&S’s bouclé zip-up collared knitted jacket with wool, we knew we’d found the ultimate cosy staple to see us through the end of winter.
Styled alongside a plain white t-shirt, her knitwear choice created an easy, cosy style that can work alongside any trouser shape, whether it’s your most comfortable jeans, leggings, or something more smart casual like her Everlee crop straight leg smart trousers from Phase Eight.
Vicky finished her outfit with the snake print kitten heel slingback shoes from M&S, but your favourite trainers or, for an even cosier winter style, a pair of slipper-like mules or UGG Tasmans make for the ideal, relaxed outfit formula this season – however you choose to style it, Vicky proves that a knitted hoodie is certainly a must-have.

This knit is made from 25% wool, with a bouclé texture giving it a cosy feel. The zip-up front and collar add a modern touch, adding a sporty, preppy feel to the athleisure piece. The rib cuffs and hem helped to add fit.
The neutral, stone shade of these tailored trousers makes them a versatile staple. Pairing effortlessly with other neutral tones like the grey of Vicky's knit, as well as bolder colours, they transition effortlessly between seasons.
Kitten heels have taken off this year, with the sleek style of shoe being perfect to pair with tailored trousers, jeans and dresses. Vicky's snake print pair from M&S are perfectly placed to work alongside neutral outfit ideas with their muted tones.
