If there’s one thing our favourite celebrities have mastered, it’s the art of timeless winter dressing. Think polished layers, tailored outerwear, and versatile staples that work just as well for a city brunch as they do for a weekend getaway.
Let’s be real, winter style can go one of two ways—either you’re buried under five layers of fleece and regret, or you’re Bella Hadid, casually turning a puffer, scarf, and oversized blazer into a full-blown fashion moment.
This season, we’re aiming for the latter.
The secret? A killer winter capsule wardrobe made up of pieces that actually work together—and look good doing it. We’re talking elevated knitwear, tailored trousers and chic outerwear that can be layered, mixed, and styled a million ways.
So if your current winter wardrobe screams ‘last-minute panic,’ it’s time to upgrade; these are the pieces you’ll build your whole season around.
