How to Elevate Your Style This Winter
Choosing bold colours such as red can inject strength into your work wear.
Winter is the perfect time to embrace snug, stylish fashion with flair. Whether you're looking for new work outfits or something to wear out and about, our tips are here to help you showcase your unique sense of style this season.
Mix Classics with Trends
Every great winter wardrobe is built on timeless classics, but blending them with seasonal trends is how you keep your look fresh. Pair your favourite tailored trousers with a trending metallic knit or chunky-soled boots for a modern edge. Classic trench coats can feel new again when cinched with a bold, embellished belt and choosing bold colours such as red can inject strength into your work wear. This season, watch out for luxe faux fur, oversized scarves and pops of red. Incorporate some of these subtly into your existing staples for a current, sophisticated look.
A longline cardigan or sleeveless vest can help you layer up with a contemporary twist.
Layering for Depth
If layering is an art, Winter is its canvas. To add warmth and depth to your outfit, start with thin bottom layers. Fine-knit turtlenecks and fitted, long-sleeve t-shirts trap warmth without being too bulky. A chunky jumper or blazer on top adds further insulation for a warm, cosy fit, and some nice structure.
A longline cardigan or sleeveless vest can help you layer up with a contemporary twist. Don’t be afraid to contrast textures – pair a silky women's slip dress with a wool coat, or leather trousers with a cashmere knit. You’ll stay warm but also create an aesthetic that’s sure to turn heads.
Statement Outerwear
Outerwear is the hero of any winter look, especially with our chilly, unpredictable weather. Invest in a standout coat that speaks to your style. Bold colours like cobalt blue, rich emerald or even soft lilac are making waves this year. Even when the layers beneath are simple, a statement coat ensures you're well-dressed.
For a timeless yet striking option, a camel coat with an exaggerated collar or a belted puffer in a metallic finish is effortlessly chic. Don't shy away from interesting textures like quilted designs, shearling trims or even patterned coats that can be the ultimate outfit transformer.

Leopard Print is a classic print for statement outerwear.
Consider adding accents with jewellery. Layered necklaces, oversized earrings or chunky bracelets bring personality to even the simplest of ensembles.
Elevate with Accessories
Accessories are the finishing touches that set your outfits apart. Perfecting your winter look could be done with a statement scarf – bold prints, luxurious materials or oversized proportions can help you find the right vibe for you.
Hats are another winter essential. From classic berets to chunky knit beanies, they keep you warm but also add a playful or polished element. And don’t forget gloves! Leather or suede with embellishments or contrasting stitching can be a stylish addition.
Finally, consider adding accents with jewellery. Layered necklaces, oversized earrings or chunky bracelets bring personality to even the simplest of ensembles.
