What I love about winter is the chance to layer up in my favourite chunky knits, and warm jackets knowing I can step outside and feel just as cosy as I'd be on my sofa. But accessories have also come into their own the past few weeks. My fur lined boots, cashmere beanie and leather gloves have brought me so many moments of joy since the temperature dropped. So this week, I'm spreading the love. Here are the things I'm currently enjoying most.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK

Reiss Aviator Coat

Since Bella Hadid stepped out in an Aviator jacket, we've all been lusting over one at the Marie Claire office. So we asked our fashion writer Jazzria Harris to round up the very best aviators she could find online. Hadid's oversized tan jacket leaned into the more laid-back look Hadid has been channeling as of late.

Paired with a printed black t-shirt and flared light wash jeans, it was the perfect balance of cool girl style meets easy everyday dressing. Feeling inspired to try one? We've tracked down some of the most stylish aviator jackets online right now so you can pull together your own cozy yet cool winter outfit including my favorite one - this khaki shearling- lined one from Reiss.
