Forget the Trends—Our Fashion Editors Are Bookmarking These 15 Elegant Buys for Winter
When it comes to winter dressing, my wardrobe mantra is always minimal, classic and wearable. I lean on clean lines, neutral tones, and timeless pieces that work just as well for brunch as they do for boardroom meetings. Winter is my favourite season to refine my style further with luxurious knits, tailored outerwear and elevated basics that I can layer. For me, it's not about chasing trends but curating a wardrobe that feels effortlessly chic (okay, maybe chic and practical). One place I consistently find those perfect updates? NET-A-PORTER. The luxury retailer's winter curation hits all the right notes, from cosy to polished, so it's fitting that my fellow WWWUK editors and I are keeping an eye on these new arrivals.
NET-A-PORTER always seems to have just what I'm looking for, whether it's that perfect investment piece or a key seasonal update. Last winter, I found a Toteme wool-blend scarf coat that carried me through every cold-weather event with ease. This year, my eyes are on the selection of knitwear and structured blazers that can seamlessly elevate an outfit. The site's curation never feels overwhelming— instead, it's filled with pieces that can genuinely transform your wardrobe. Take the Margaux bag from The Row—it's practical enough for daily wear, yet elegant enough for dinner plans (just be sure to grab it before it sells out again!). I'm looking for items that will carry me through every seasonal event, and NET-A-PORTERr is the one-stop shop that always seems to get it right.
Of course, I'm not the only editor here at Who What Wear updating my wardrobe for winter. Rebecca spotted an oversize blazer from The Frankie Shop that's perfect for transitioning into cooler months, while Florrie's got her heart set on Toteme's long draped wool-blend coat for those days when you need to look effortlessly put-together. Brittany can't wait to get her hands on Joseph's double-breasted coat for those brisk winter walks, and let's not forget Remy, who's been raving about the cosy cashmere cardigan from Guest in Residence. We're not just here to tease you with a few favourites, though. Below, we've rounded up the pieces currently in our online baskets. From chic boots to the perfect knitwear, these staples are guaranteed to make winter dressing feel easy and elegant.
