Introduce a few earthy colours like a green parka or tan chino to wear with the darker shades and you’ll instantly feel like spring isn’t far off.

Reign in the need for showy zips and buttons, the look is less not more.

The urban outdoors trend is about celebrating colour and texture over busy details, so before you buy that coat with all the bells and whistles, opt for a more classic style with simple detailing and it will become your go-to layer.
