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.
Timeless Black Coat
Banana Republic
Zara
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 cannot 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.
Cozy Knits

Arguably the best part of winter dressing is indulging in cozy knits – not only do they keep you warm and toasty through those frigid months, but they also are the pinnacle of winter fashion. 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.
