Warm practical but stylish/edgy -help!

I have a wardrobe full of lovely work and going out clothes but struggle with casual clothes.

I’m either working or watching my kids play hockey/rugby/football or walking the dog. Also I live in Scotland!

I’m more of a biker boot than a Dubarry person. I need some stylish but practical outdoor kit. Anyone got any ideas? I can’t be the only one! Thanks.

Anyone? I’m sure I can’t be the only one who needs practical stuff but wants a bit of style too! Thanks 🙏

Sorry ! don't think anyone's cracked being warm, dry and stylish.

So I just go for warm and dry Sad

Not sure how edgy you want but I think emp has a good variety, their kinda basic own range has stuff that's different but not ott.

Thanks I’ll have a look. It’s so chilly up here and with 4 boys it’s literalLynn all I wear from October to April. It’s just soooooo boring. I’ve got some gorgeous coats but they’re never warm enough for actual winter -I need the down one. Today I was watching football in a merino vest, a cashmere jumper, a Uniqlo down gilet and a Didriksons parka! 🙈

Doc Martens boots & a puffa jacket 👌🏼

I'm watching this with interest, as I have the same problem (also in Scotland and I'm Latin so the cold feels lethal to me)!

I do love the Uniqlo Heattech as it's so light and easy to layer, as well as sheepskin insoles.

I have a Didriksons (Angelina with fur and pile) which is waterproof and toasty, but decidedly not stylish. I also have a couple of Seasalt jackets that are very practical, but a bit frumpy.

What's your budget? Sweaty Betty have a gorgeous down parka which you could put with fur/sheepskin lined dms? Then proper icelandic mittens.

Not sure how edgy, but certainly stylish and warm
