10 Must-Have Winter Wardrobe Staples
Real winter is just around the corner, so we’ve rounded up 10 essential pieces we consider the backbone of a solid winter wardrobe - versatile staples you can mix and match to carry you through the season.
FAUX FUR JACKET
Nothing beats a faux fur jacket on a cold winter’s day. They will forever look chic. This Monki jacket is a great alternative to last year’s Phoebe Philo teddy jacket, which was mega bucks!
LONG SLEEVE TEE
Basic long sleeve tees are the backbone of a solid winter wardrobe - find a good one and stock up in multiple colours. They’re perfect for layering, and honestly sometimes there’s nothing chicer than keeping an outfit simple.
TAILORED WOOL COAT
We couldn’t do this edit without a wool tailored coat. They’re SO easy to throw on, day or night, and they instantly make you look put together even when you’re really not. There are endless options out there, but this tie waist version from Zara is really good.
FUNNEL NECK JUMPER
If there’s one thing in your wardrobe worth spending a little extra on, it’s knitwear. These COS funnel neck sweaters reappear every autumn winter because they really are that good. They come in a range of colours, and they’re absolutely worth adding to your collection.
TAILORED TROUSERS
A good tailored trouser just hits different. When you want something a step up from jeans, these are the ones to reach for. Soft, comfy waistband, clean crease, and that smart, pulled together look.
BIKER BOOTS
We don’t usually go for casual trainers, sticking mostly to boots, so of course a boot had to make the edit. These Pull & Bear boots have caught our eye, with that perfect distressed finish and the added interest from the buckle.
GOING OUT CAMI
A cami might sound crazy as a winter must-have, but trust us on this one. December is full of parties, nights out, you name it and a lace trim or sequin cami is the perfect go to. It’s easy to pair with so many trousers, and bonus: you can style it again in the summertime.
BEANIE
You can’t escape a UK winter without a beanie, and this one from H&M is an absolute steal at £7.99.
KNITTED SET
A must have in your winter wardrobe. The knitted set will be your absolute go-to. Perfect for afternoons by the fire, equally as perfect with a tailored coat and boots for a weekend morning coffee run. Super versatile, effortlessly cool and so cosy.
GLITTER SOCKS
We don’t think twice about socks in summer, but once winter hits, they’re suddenly a daily essential. So why not retire those old white sport pair we all rely on and switch to something a little fun? A glittery sock is small but instant outfit upgrade.
