Socks are not only an important item of clothing for comfort and warmth, but can be used as part of a fashionable look. For anyone trying to replicate the Downton Country Club style, I recommend the Bulington Riding Socks from Sock Shop (£15) or the Toast Organic Fair isle Socks (£25.00).
Trousers are a potentially trickier area to get right, but how about these for a gentlemanly style with a fashionably feminine twist, how about these checked trousers by NW3 by Hobbs (available from ASOS - £119), or the contrast dogtooth trousers by Unique at Topshop (£120)?
Nothing says country chic like a classic tweed jacket, and these gorgeous examples are by Barbour (£229); one of the ultimate names in British Heritage clothing, and Joules (£169).
I like that the Tweed Buckle Cape from Newlook (£44.99) leaves your arms free for riding, shooting and any other leisure activities available tat Downton Country Club. The Waistcoat is by Libery Freedom (£175), a brand whose basis is 'the idea of English tailoring with a punk edge.
Finally, for a more feminine take on the traditional fairisle knit is this YMC dress, available from ASOS (£185), and the classic fluted bow cloche from Accessorize (£28) is the perfect finishing touch to many a Downton inspired outfit.
