Back to Basics
When you’re starting to build your winter wardrobe, start off with the foundations. These are the classic, basic pieces that can be dressed up or down (and will still be stylish for seasons to come). In terms of bottoms, slouchy denim, wide leg trousers and long skirts are trending (and are perfect for wearing overtop some thermal layers without looking bulky), while the crisp white shirt reigns supreme when it comes to tops thanks to its versatility.
Ralph Lauren
Reformation
Timeless Black Coat
Moncler
Aritzia
If there’s one thing you’re investing in this winter, let it be the classic black coat. A tailored version can dress up loungewear and sweatsuits, while a slouchier version adds a touch of cool to your winter ensembles. And there’s the option to play with fabrics, too – from wool to alpaca, cashmere and leather, you truly can’t go wrong with this timeless piece.
Top-Notch Textures
Winter 2023 is all about textures – from cozy shearling to dramatic faux fur and ultrasoft mohair. They’re the perfect pieces to layer over your foundational pieces and add a soft touch to any winter look, especially when incorporated into accessories like bags, mittens and even footwear.
Canada Goose
GANNI
Cozy Knits
Alo
Emporio Armani
Arguably the best part of winter dressing is indulging in cozy knits – keeping you warm and toasty through cold months. Knits are an opportune time to play around with textures to add some extra interest to your winter basics. From merino wool sweaters to cashmere cardigans and cable knit sweater vests, there are plenty of ways to play around with this classic trend.
Above and Beyond
Combat the winter blues with some dopamine dressing in the form of bold, over-the-top accessories. From over-the-knee boots to platform UGGs and statement-making jewelry, these pieces will bring instant life to any dreary winter day.
Tiffany & Co
Van Cleef & Arpels
Reinvented Clutches
Versace
Bottega Veneta
Finish off your winter ensembles with a twist on the classic clutch. Gone are the skinny envelope versions – instead it’s all about jumbo versions seen on Versace’s runways, with models tucking the typically handheld bag nonchalantly underneath their arms. Again, texture can come into play here with canvas, faux fur, shearling and leather options available. If you’re looking for something a little less oversized, opt for a smaller version in an interesting shape.
