THE WINTER ESCAPES STYLE GUIDE
Make the most of your winter holiday this year with perfectly planned RI outfits. You might be hitting snow-covered slopes, heading for a staycation, making a sunny escape or even staying put very near a sofa – whatever the schedule, we’ve got the looks to match.
THE COUNTRYSIDE CALLS
If your Christmas features a country hotel or a cottage getaway, it’s time to manifest The Holiday and pack accordingly. We’re talking soft, romantic knits, relaxed denim and a clean, neutral palette by day and jewel-toned satin shirts or jumpsuits for fireside evenings in the local pub. A great pair of knee-high boots are essential – team them with relaxed denim for daytime ambles, and velvet separates for dinners out, just in case you bump into Jude Law.

SKI STYLE
You might be ski-obsessed, you might just be there for the fondue (nobody’s judging). Either way, your pack list should include the warmest of puffer coats, celeb-style big sunglasses, and some glam knitwear for the apres-ski moments. Take note of our cut-out or feather-trimmed knits, sequinned rollnecks and RI x Nephthys Christmas jumpers.

FESTIVE FLIGHTS
Jetting abroad this winter? Lucky you. Our new-in monogram holdalls, wallets and passport holders are wise buys. When it comes to packing, focus on light layers – a breezy beach shirt works for poolside lounging and dressed up with a clutch and jewellery come the evening. Update your swimwear stash with a sequinned one-piece or bikini – it is Christmas, after all.

HOME COMFORTS
We love a winter break at home – the eating! The telly! The lie-ins! Treat yourself to some sofa-ready brushed cotton ribbed co-ords, printed hoodies, and forgiving trousers (think balloon-leg styles or pintuck joggers). Don’t forget your party pieces, too: this year we’re obsessed with velvet, bows and metallic finishes on drape-cut tops, knotted midi dresses and mini skirts.
