As winter takes hold, practical fashion becomes essential, and Ruth Langsford is proving that winter accessories can be both functional and stylish. The TV presenter recently demonstrated how to incorporate practical winter items into a chic, monochrome look, elevating the outfit with a checked scarf and a sophisticated burgundy handbag.
In a 2018 outing in London, Ruth kept it casual yet stylish with black skinny jeans, a leather coat, and black heeled boots. While the monochrome outfit was already sleek, it was her winter accessories that truly brought the look together, adding texture and colour.
Ruth’s winter-ready accessories are a perfect balance of style and comfort. A checked scarf from M&S, priced at £15, offers a lightweight, cozy feel with playful tassel trims that add a touch of fun. Paired with a structured burgundy handbag, also from M&S, the look exudes sophistication. The handbag’s crocodile texture and versatile design—featuring both top handles and a detachable shoulder strap—make it an affordable luxury that suits any occasion.
Her black heeled boots from M&S, priced at £49.50, also stand out. With a chunky block heel and antibacterial padding for all-day freshness, they offer both comfort and style. The sleek, rounded toe and buckle detail add a fashionable edge to any outfit.
If you’re looking to recreate Ruth’s look, there are plenty of alternatives. New Look offers a black-and-white checked scarf, now £11.39, made from a brushed, wool-like fabric that is both practical and stylish. Meanwhile, Amazon’s Ashioup burgundy handbag (£12.99) provides a similar rich hue and spacious design at a budget-friendly price.
For those seeking a leather blazer, Zara offers a faux leather option for £59.99. The structured silhouette and sleek texture make it an ideal layering piece to dress up any winter ensemble.
Ruth’s accessories are not just about style—they also bring practicality to the table. The checked scarf adds a geometric pattern and texture that complements the heavier leather materials of her coat and handbag. The monochrome shades of white, grey, and black in the scarf tie the look together, creating a sleek, tonal outfit.
This winter, you can channel Ruth’s chic vibe by opting for burgundy elements that add a pop of colour to any look. Finish off the ensemble with maroon nails and a bold red lip, and you’ll be ready to embrace the season with both style and comfort.
