Want to look stylish/dressed up but keep warm!

I struggle over the colder months with what to wear out in the evening to a nice restaurant or bar. I want to look like I’ve made a bit of effort, but I also want to be warm. I always end up defaulting to cashmere polo necks so I can wear layers underneath and a statement necklace to dress it up. Any other ideas from fellow chilly billys?

Uniqlo heat tech under a nice dress.

A scarf and a long, think, warm coat (NOT those knee length puffer jackets!). Then whatever you’re wearing underneath.. you take off the scarf and coat once you get inside anyway.

I’ve got a nice white stuff tunic which I wear with lined tights and Barbour boots. Quite warm and I think looks stylish. Nobody else probably does though

Agreed on those puffer jackets!!

Yes I’ve been thinking about getting some thicker/lined tights actually. Sure you look great!
