The Met Office has hinted at a possible snow surprise for parts of the UK, and yes, it could make its debut as early as next week. Get ready for a weekend of icy chills, misty mornings, and heavy fog—but that’s just the opening act.
Snow could make an appearance in northern and eastern regions right at the beginning of November, adding a dash of wintry magic to our autumn landscape. Love or loathe the cold, let’s admit it: winter fashion is top-tier. We're talking cosy knits, fuzzy boots, chunky socks, tights, balaclavas and beanies, what's not to love?
"Into the start of November, there is a chance the weather could (briefly) turn much colder/brighter, with a chance of snow showers in northern and eastern areas, but it’s equally possible these could stay clear of the UK, or the milder conditions could remain in place,” explains the Met Office's long-range forecast.
Just like how when travelling the most important outfit is the one you wear to the airport, whilst holidaying to snowy pastures, it's not about what you wear on the slopes, it's the casual after-ski fit that we care about. With snow on the horizon for the UK we revisit some of the best 'snow day' looks to inspire you this season, even if you don't have a trip to the alps planned.
What to wear when it snows:
Layer up, friends. Start with a thermal base, throw on a chunky knit, and finish with a water-resistant puffer or parka. And don’t forget those statement winter boots—functional and fabulous. Add a scarf, gloves, and a beanie to keep things extra toasty. Snow day style means comfort meets Instagram-worthy vibes.
How to dress for UK snowfall:
It’s all about warmth without too much bulk. Opt for fleece-lined leggings or wool trousers and layer with a thermal tee and an oversized jumper. Top it off with your favourite parka coat and gloves. For extra style points, rock a chic snood or a scarf that doubles as a cozy hood.
