The Barbour Cordelia Knit can be styled in a variety of ways to create the perfect winter outfit suitable for work and social events alike. For an outfit that features a smart and professional appearance, whilst providing comfort and warmth when the wind picks up, pair this grey jumper with the Barbour Burne Mid Rise Straight Jeans. Well-suited to the winter season, both the jumper and jeans boast dark tones, and feature a loose fit that allows for easy layering and comfortable wear whilst maintaining a stylish appearance. Perfect for the morning and post-work commute, complete the look with the Barbour Mull Wax Jacket. 

Smart Casual Winter Outfit Ideas for Women

Whether it’s a festive event or gathering, our Barbour Langford Knit features a statement pattern, perfect for brightening any occasion. Crafted from a soft wool blend, whether you’re outside or indoors, this comfortable knit will help to keep the cold at bay. Perfect for layering, this relaxed-fit jumper has ample space for lighter layers to be worn underneath, allowing for you to build thermal protection as the weather changes.

For a stylish contrast, pair with the Barbour Burne Mid-Rise Straight Original Wash Jeans, and for optimal warmth when you’re heading to and from an event in the cold, add the Barbour Highclere Wax Jacket to complete your look. 

Women’s Winter Walk Outfits

We go for all of the usual picnic food – sandwiches, sausage rolls, pork pies, crisps, cake and some fruit to be healthy! Sometimes we take the picnic hamper and have all of our plates and bowls and it feels very fancy, other times we eat our food straight out of the tin foil and there’s something really lovely about that too!

Whether you’re heading out for a winter walk along the coast or in the countryside, the cold conditions during the winter seasons mean that you’ll need a sturdy outfit to see you through. Ideal for walks in all winter conditions, the Barbour Kingsbury Knit is made from a rich wool, and features a high neck that helps to keep out the chill. Complete with a seasonal pattern, this versatile piece can also be worn to festive events. 

For an outfit fit for your everyday winter wear, pair this festive knit with the Barbour Moorland High Rise Jeans, along with some high-rise walking boots and thick socks. Designed to provide protection from the elements and ultimate comfort, complete this outdoor outfit with the Barbour Buckton Quilted Jacket.

Ideas for Styling Winter Accessories for Women

Featuring a durable and soft-feel leather, the Barbour Fur Trimmed Leather Gloves provide the perfect winter accessory for completing an elegant seasonal outfit. With a coordinating faux-fur lined hood, the Barbour Mallow Quilted Jacket pairs perfectly with these stylish leather gloves. From walks to winter trips into the city, this sophisticated outerwear pairing is ideal for wearing to almost any outdoor activity.

Boasting a contemporary, rib-knit style, the Barbour Saltburn Beanie and Scarf Set will prepare you to face the winter elements. For a stylish contrast, pairing the beanie and scarf set with the Barbour Octavia Quilted Jacket will get you ready to head outdoors. Designed in a darker colour and boasting longline baffle quilting, wherever you’re heading, this coat has been made to see you through the winter season for many years.

Nothing sets you up for heading outdoors during the darker winter months quite like the Barbour Wool Tartan Glove & Scarf Set. Drawing inspiration from our country heritage, our midnight berry shade scarf set is designed in a classic Barbour tartan, perfect for the colder seasons. Crafted from pure wool, it’s the perfect set to treat yourself or a loved one to. 

If you can’t decide on the coat to pair it with, we suggest the waterproof Barbour Bilton Jacket.

Designed with a regular fit to keep you comfortable during the day, we advise pairing this jumper with the Neuston Twill Chinos for a smart and powerful contrast.

Men’s Smart Casual Winter Outfits

During a time of celebration and festive gatherings, it’s a good idea to have a number of smart-casual clothing staples to prepare you for the winter season. Featuring a classic textured cable-knit design, the Barbour Chunky Cable Sweater is suitable for all kinds of winter occasions. To add to the smart-casual feel, pair the sweater with some classic jeans, such as the Barbour Regular Fit Jean. 

Whether the event you’re attending is hosted indoors or outside, you can prevent the cold from getting the better of you with the Barbour Chelsea Mac Jacket. With a detachable hood and warming quilted lining, the jacket is the ideal finishing touch to this timeless men’s winter outfit. 

An essential winter layering piece, we recommend pairing the Barbour Dene Overshirt with a t-shirt, or perhaps a contrasting knit to add some additional warmth and style to your look before heading to an event. Due to the versatile style and colour of the shirt, it’s great for pairing with our Barbour Neuston Essential Chinos in any colour, which are a timeless trouser perfect for winter wear. For a smart-casual appearance bound to impress, finish the look with the luxurious and contemporary Barbour Hendon Wool Jacket.

Men’s Winter Walk Outfits

Despite the freezing temperatures, winter walks are a hobby amongst many and a favourite seasonal custom here at Barbour. However, these often require some outfit preparation before heading out, to ensure that you remain warm and comfortable, while admiring the stunning views of the outdoors. Designed for layering, the Barbour New Tyne Half Zip Jumper features a cosy funnel collar with convenient half-zip fastening, providing extra versatility by allowing you to control your body temperature when outside. We recommend wearing this with the Barbour Neuston Twill Chinos, which feature a regular fit, making them breathable, comfortable and allow for easy movement on longer strolls.

Whether you’re facing rain, snow, or cold and windy conditions, the hard-wearing Barbour Hoxley Baffle Quilted Jacket has been made to see you through it all. Featuring a long length design and a warming baffle quilt, this coat is perfect for facing the harsh winter weather. Don’t forget to wrap up and complete your look with the coordinating Barbour Crimdon Beanie and Scarf Gift Set.

It’s also important to accessorise appropriately in the winter time, not just to complete your look but also to add extra elements of warmth. The Barbour Lambswool Gloves feature a soft feel, with elasticated cuffs for a secure fit, ensuring your hands and wrists are sheltered from the cold. The Barbour Case Fairisle Beanie, also in navy, coordinates well with the gloves, while the contrasting seasonal design can add a subtle statement to your outfit.
