fashion brands to shop for winter

Even in Australia, the chilly winter air has well and truly set in which means it's time to dust off those good winter clothes (or start looking for some new threads). We're talking under layers, coats, stockings and leg warmers. Whatever your preference for insulation may here are our picks for the best fashion brands to shop for winter.

We know that sometimes the cold can lead to your closet feeling lacklustre. But let's not let this winter become one where having the wrong layering stack leads to lounging at home watching Gossip Girl reruns (unless that's your thing of course). Without further ado, we're here to offer up a steamy list of fresh winter brands to keep you toasty.
