Perth residents are proving you don’t need to pick between style and warmth this winter.

Long coats, cosy ear muffs and timeless knee-high boots were just some of the items we saw when we headed into the city centre for some fashion inspiration.

Six trendy shoppers talked us through their outfits.

I am a student at Perth College.

What are you wearing?

My coat is from a very popular Ukrainian brand Andre Tan, my ear muffs are from Fat Face, my shoes are from Clarks and my bag is from Timberland.

How would you describe your style?

I dress formally, and for warmth and comfort.

Where do you like to shop?

What do you do for a living?

I am the front of house team leader at the new Perth Museum in the former City Hall, which will open on Good Friday!

What are you wearing?

My jacket is from M&S, my dress is from Monki, my shoes are from Aldo and my tote bag is from Monki.

How would you describe your style?

It changes all the time. In winter I live in big jumpers and in summer it’s dresses.

Where do you like to shop?

Monki is my favourite and I also like Zara and Next. I also love & Other Stories but it is so expensive I mostly just browse!

Who is your style icon?

The cast of Daisy Jones & The Six, which I binge-watched this summer. I love their ’70s-style outfits. I’m a big fan of ’70s trends – especially wide-leg cord trousers.

What do you do for a living?

I am a retired solicitor.

What are you wearing?

My coat is from New Look, I’m wearing a cashmere jumper from Revival on George Street in Perth, my skirt is from White Stuff, my boots are from River Island and my bag is from M&S.

How would you describe your style?

Eclectic. That is what my daughter always says!

Where do you like to shop?

Who is your style icon?

I don’t have a style icon. I just dress the way I feel like dressing.

I think if you look in the mirror before you leave the house and you like the way you look and you feel comfortable – that is much more important than being fashionable.
