Linear lines and graphic colorways are perfect companions for cold-weather staples, as illustrated by this checked skirt from Oscar de la Renta. Crafted in Italy from a dark navy denim, it sits high on the waist and falls into a structured A-line silhouette. White thread has been embroidered on to its base to create a checked pattern for a preppy yet polished finish. Maintain the mood by styling with a tailored blazer and leather Chelsea boots.
