Why fear colour? Here’s our five best buys. 

Green Long line Bomber – TopMan- £50: 

This green long line bomber jacket is perfect for this winter weather. It incorporates the classic ‘in style’ bomber jacket with the sophisticated long line length to keep you extra warm. The green/teal shade is also very Christmassy and surprisingly versatile! £50 (now reduced).

Baby Blue Oversized Jumper – TopMan-£28:

This jumper will be super comfortable for those cold walks to university and may even make your 9am starts a little brighter. An oversized jumper is a must have this winter- and your Rudolph, bell jingling, red Christmas jumper doesn’t quite count. So if you’re looking for a slightly toned down vibe, this jumper is ideal and can also be smartened up with a white shirt underneath for a more preppy look.

Mink Zip Shirt – TopMan-£36: 

If you haven’t quite decided if you could pull off the baby pink look just yet, this Mink Sand coloured shirt jacket is ideal. This shirt jacket is amazingly versatile; it can be worn alone or as a jacket with a shirt or jumper underneath, making it the perfect piece.

Burnt Orange Shirt – River Island- £20:

This orange shirt is a fabulous eye catching piece to wear for all occasions. It could add a pop of colour underneath a jumper if you’re still pondering how bold you want to go. This shirt is also a slim fit look which looks great with jeans, open or with a suit making it great value for money.

Purple Marble backpack – Foot asylum- £24.99: 

If clothes are slightly too daring for you then this purple bag is ideal. The purple adds a splash of colour to any outfit and if you’re iffy with colours it goes great with grey, black, brown and khaki. A backpack is also the easiest and comfiest bag to hold your load of heavy books, making it the perfect uni bag.
