3- A good classic down jacket. Here, Sonia Lyson is wearing a The North Face Lhotse jacket, available in yellow and more colours at MRPORTER
* The North Face named its ‘Lhotse’ jacket after the fourth highest mountain in the world, which is testament to the extreme conditions it can withstand. Pumped full of responsibly sourced 700-fill down for warmth, it’s made from quilted ripstop that’s treated for waterproofness. Pull out the hood when the weather takes a turn.

4- A (faux) shearling jacket. Here, Marie Hindkaer is wearing an H&M faux shearling-lined jacket available ON SALE at H&M

5- A soft cashmere sweater. Here, Rikke Krefting in the Anine Bing Rosie sweater in grey, available at ANINEBING.COM
* A fall layering essential,
this ultra soft knit lends a cool, borrowed-from-the-boys contrast to slim bottoms. Elevate this sweater with leather, or wear it with denim for a laidback, off-duty look. It’s crafted in 100% cashmere, resulting in a luxurious feel and slouchy fit.

LAIA’S PICK: Acne Studios Logo wool-blend scarf
* Acne Studios Few things add instant cool like a large, plush scarf from Acne Studios. Made from a blend of wool, this two-tone design is easy to style in shades of oatmeal and beige, and features the label’s moniker in standout lettering. Drape it over one of the Scandi-brand’s iconic coats.

LAIA’S PICK: Frankie Shop oversized wool coat in black, available at MYTHERESA
* Winter wardrobing just got easier thanks to designs like this black coat from Frankie Shop. Handmade in South Korea from heavyweight wool felt, the double-breasted style has an oversized fit with padded shoulders that accentuate the frame.

LAIA’S PICK: H&M Fine-knit cashmere sweater in taupe melange.
* Relaxed-fit sweater in soft, fine-knit cashmere. Round neckline, dropped shoulders, and long sleeves. Ribbing at neckline, cuffs, and hem. Rounded, slightly longer hem at back.
