Cosy has never been so chic

The family have left, the bins are full of wrapping paper, and many bottles of booze appear to be empty. Yes, Christmas Day is over and it’s time to relax – and this year I am recommending you do that in a tracksuit. Worry not, my sense of style has not been diminished by port and cheese.

I’m fully aware there’s nothing chic about a typical ‘tracksuit’ but once you preface it with the word cashmere it shifts to the other end of the sartorial spectrum. So just how chic can it get? The pinnacle must surely be the Carmel tracksuit from the Queen of Loungewear, Olivia von Halle. This will set you back £1,495. Yes, you read that correctly (and, unsurprisingly, it isn’t featured above).

Cashmere specialists Chinti & Parker are not cheap, but their rich green boxy jumper and joggers (both now £147.50), are worth every penny. You’ll be hard pressed to find better quality or fit and the pieces look great worn as separates. These twinsets are far too fabulous to be kept hidden away at home and can be surprisingly hardworking, both now and in the chilly months ahead.
