Channel Nine confirmed this week that Karl Stefanovic will return to host This Time Next Year for a second season.

Karl exuded effortless charm in a trendy sheepskin-trimmed jacket, teamed with a black T-shirt and a pair of blue wash jeans.  

He added several cool highlights to his look, including a silver square buckle belt and multicoloured sneakers.
