Winter 2026–27

The Winter Style Edit

Six defining directions for the season—plus outfit formulas that help you style what you own and choose only the pieces your wardrobe is missing.

Use what you own. Shop what’s missing.

Polished Shine

Metallic finishes and light-catching details that work for celebrations and everyday outfits.

A little shine, an everyday base

Metallic knit + straight-leg jeans + simple heel

Keep your familiar jeans and simple heels. Let a metallic knit change the mood without rebuilding the whole outfit. Try a small front tuck to show the waist; keep the rest of the finish quiet.

Start with what you own: Straight-leg jeans and a comfortable simple heel.

Satin with a softer edge

Satin skirt + soft sweater + ankle boot

Let the sweater sit loosely above the satin, then check the length against the boots. Flat suede ankle boots make the skirt feel less formal. A small front tuck opens up the waist; the dotted skirt gives you enough pattern on its own.

Start with what you own: A soft sweater and ankle boots you already enjoy wearing.

Velvet After Dark

Rich velvet adds dimension to evening looks without requiring an entirely new occasion wardrobe.

Evening texture, familiar tailoring

Velvet blazer + fitted knit + tailored trousers

Use velvet as the finishing layer over a fitted knit and trousers. The smooth base keeps the jacket’s texture visible. Try the outfit with your everyday tailored trousers before shopping for a matching pair.

Start with what you own: A fitted black knit and tailored trousers.

One dress, a longer line

Velvet dress + long coat + minimal jewelry

Let the black velvet and red rosette be the focal point. Add a long coat and small silver hoops, then look at the whole combination. Keep the neckline clear and choose a coat that closes comfortably over the dress.

Start with what you own: Your long coat, small earrings and occasion shoes.

Winter Reds

Cherry, cranberry, merlot and oxblood bring depth to winter neutrals.

Red with depth

Cranberry sweater + dark denim + oxblood accessories

Start with dark indigo denim, then add a berry-red knit and an oxblood detail. Tie the silky bandana loosely at the neck, or around a bag handle if you prefer an open neckline. The reds can sit close together without matching exactly.

Start with what you own: Dark denim and everyday brown or neutral shoes.

A richer neutral mix

Merlot trousers + cream knit + brown coat

Cream softens deep red-wine trousers; a brown coat brings the palette together. Velvet adds texture without another color. Leave the knit’s detachable scarf off beneath the coat, then try a small front tuck if you want a clearer waist.

Start with what you own: A cream knit and brown coat.

Modern Heritage

Familiar winter classics refreshed through cleaner shapes and contemporary proportions.

Let the plaid lead

Plaid coat + solid knit + straight-leg jeans + loafers

Build around the plaid coat with a solid knit and straight denim. Black penny loafers give the familiar pieces a clean finish. Let the check lead, then try the formula with the jeans you already wear most.

Start with what you own: A solid knit, straight-leg jeans and loafers.

Heritage, with room to move

Tweed jacket + relaxed trousers + leather boot

Balance tweed with relaxed trousers and a black leather boot. The lace-up boot gives the jacket a less formal finish. Check that the trouser hem falls freely over the shaft, with a plain top to give the weave some breathing room.

Start with what you own: Relaxed trousers, a simple top and leather boots.

Soft Monochrome

Cream, oatmeal, camel and gray layered through contrasting textures.

Light layers, clear texture

Cream sweater + winter-white trousers + camel coat

Cream knitwear and winter-white trousers do not need to match. Look for a visible difference in texture, then add camel to give the pale layers definition. Try the knit without its detachable scarf so the coat sits smoothly.

Start with what you own: Cream knitwear, winter-white trousers and a camel coat.

Gray from light to dark

Gray knit dress + charcoal outerwear + suede boot

Layer a gray knit dress under charcoal outerwear, then add brown suede boots. The change in texture keeps the dark layers distinct. Check the space between the dress hem and boot top on yourself and choose the proportion you would wear again.

Start with what you own: A gray knit dress and suede boots.

Sculpted Warmth

Defined shapes and considered proportions bring structure to winter layers.

Shape the outer layer

Belted coat + fitted base layer + tall boot

Close the coat over a fitted base, then adjust the belt until it feels comfortable. Tobacco suede boots soften the brown layers. Check the boot shaft against your own leg measurements and make sure the base layer lets you move and sit comfortably.

Start with what you own: A fitted base layer and tall boots.

Volume, kept intentional

Funnel-neck knit + wide-leg trousers + structured bag

Let the standing neckline and wide trousers create the shape. A structured bag gives the soft knit a clear finishing detail. Try the sweater untucked first, then a small front tuck if you want more definition at the waist.

Start with what you own: Wide-leg trousers and a structured bag.
