Look of the Day
Sibusiso was spotted at Sandton City donning the sophisticated and refined urban look. He looks stylishly casual in a cream jersey, beige scarf, brown leather jacket, fitted jeans and dark brown shoes.
The "Refined Gentleman" is one of the key looks this season and Sibusiso is a prime example of this.
To get this look, go for leather jackets, trench coats, scarves, hats (we love fedoras, newsboy hats, ski caps and bowlers hats) and vests worn over button-down shirts. Try stick to neutral colours in your key pieces, but you can throw in a splash of colour in your accessories.
Versatility is the main essence of the look and it lets you go from the office, to the mall, to evening drinks and dinner in style and looking "the part".
Icons of Beauty
There are many great things that we love about winter: the fabulous coats and boots, the delicious comforting soups and stews and the cosy evenings spent in front of a fire. However, what we don't enjoy is dry skin, chapped lips and brittle hair that goes hand-in-hand with the chilly months.
To help combat this, the Woolworths beauty experts put together a list of "Icons of Beauty" every winter. These are beauty products that are acknowledged for their amazing performance and innovative ideas. In a nutshell, they are the products that your body can rely on during the harsh winter months.
Here are the products that make the list this year:
- Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream - Contain 30 roses in every tube and promises to nurtures and protects sensitive, dry and weather-damaged skin.
- Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfection Powder – A powder that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

- Fekkai Protein Rx Reparative Spray – A leave-in treatment that strengthens and rehydrates weak or over-processed hair.
- Benefit Benetint – Al rose-tinted stain for lips and cheeks. We love that it suits all complexions.

Most Wanted
We love this season’s off-duty look. Call it chic combat or utility, the stores are awash on olive green and khaki for a very fashionable army.
We love Woolworths’ carefully edited selection of key items and the cuffed trousers and combat palette of their new summer must-haves had us running for the rails.
While you’re there hunting down your slub cotton teeshirts and casual trousers, don’t forget to check out their new collection of statement heels.
They are hot off the international catwalks and prices start at around R300, which is super fantastic in anyone’s book!
