Getting dressed on cold mornings can feel harder than it should. I’ve had those days where I feel tired, it’s chilly, and I’d much rather stay in my dressing gown. Over the years, I’ve learned that having a few reliable winter wardrobe staples can make all the difference. I’ve had so many messages lately asking what I wear in winter, especially on the days I don’t feel like making much effort. So I thought I’d share what’s been working for me: simple, comfortable pieces that make getting dressed warm, easy and fuss-free.
This winter, I’ve been reaching for a few cosy favourites from Sussan that help me feel comfortable and still look nice enough to head out in. If you don’t love shopping or never know what to wear, this post is for you.

Jackets and Knitwear Make Mornings Easier
When the temperature drops, having a go-to layer you can grab quickly makes a big difference. I usually throw on a basic top and jeans, then add a jacket to pull it all together and feel ready for the day. View the range of Sussan’s women’s jackets to see what’s new this season.
I popped into store recently and found myself touching all the knitwear, it was so soft. Women’s knitwear from Sussan feels just as lovely as it looks, and it’s the kind of piece you can throw on and feel comfortable in all day long.
Go-To Jumpers and Cardigans
Having a couple of knit jumpers you love means less time standing in front of your wardrobe wondering what to wear. I have a few in different tones (white, beige, pink) and they match with almost everything.
If you prefer something that’s easy to throw on and off during the day, knit cardigans are a great option too. I often keep one in the car for when I’m heading out and just need that little extra warmth.
Comfort Matters & It Should Look Good Too
Let’s be honest, if something’s not comfortable, it usually ends up staying in the wardrobe. What I like about the range of women’s clothing from Sussan is that it’s not only soft and easy to wear. There’s a mix of relaxed pieces for slow days at home and comfy styles that still feel nice enough to wear out for coffee or errands. Their winter range has variety, like relaxed fits and soft knits that don’t itch, which makes it easier to feel comfortable and still look nice throughout the day.
I was in store recently and got so excited when I found a pair of track pants that suited my height and body shape (the struggle has been real), and they were sooo soft. I was so happy to find them. It’s rare to come across something that feels that comfortable and actually fits me well too. I know I’ll be living in them this winter.
Timeless Pieces Take the Stress Out of Winter Dressing
Instead of buying lots of trendy items every year, I like to invest in timeless winter staples I know I’ll reach for again and again. The knit I’m wearing in the photo at the top of this post is one I bought from Sussan a few years ago, and even though I’ve lost weight since then, it still fits well and feels so comfy to wear. That’s what I love, pieces that last, feel good, and still work as the seasons (and we) change. It’s less about having lots, and more about having what works.
Mix-and-Match Outfits Make Life Simple
My favourite winter wardrobe tip… Keep it simple with pieces that mix and match easily. A few well-chosen winter wardrobe staples can make mornings so much easier. That way, even if you’re half asleep, you can pull together an outfit that feels nice without needing to overthink it. Sussan’s range makes it easy to create outfits that are warm, comfortable and look lovely together. It really is the little things that make your day feel smoother.
