The cold snap sweeping the country is brutal and while we all continue our normal routines, all we want is to turn on our heaters and sleep through the icy weather.
But alas, that fantasy doesn’t exist in real life, and we must pull up our bootstraps and battle it out against the cold.
When the weather reaches extreme levels, whether that is a scorching hot heatwave or an Arctic cold snap, it can feel like fashion needs to be thrown out the window and replaced by practical, weather-defending clothes.
But actually, if you look towards Seven presenter Kylie Gillies there is no need to give up on your fashionable ambitions.
Kylie took to her Instagram to share the ice-cold fending outfit getting her through this unfavourable weather.
Of course, the whole outfit is incredibly wearable, elegant and on-trend, but it’s her faux fur trim parka that sold the look.
She paired the black parka with wide-legged jeans (because skinny jeans are staying in the grave), a washed-out mustard jumper and white sneakers.
Kylie explained that the look was specifically put together to fight off this winter snap in her caption.
“❄️Arctic Air rolling in❄️ What newscasters are calling a ‘significant weather event’ is on it’s way!” she said.
Kylie explained where you could wear this look to get the most out of its practical but stylish powers.
“Perfect (Parka) for the commute or weekend footy. This is me wearing it home today after work,” said Kylie.
