My Style Is Chic, Classic and Understated—23 Luxury Winter Buys That Nail the Brief
If there's one thing I've learned about my personal style, it's that less really is more. My wardrobe is built on an aesthetic that prioritises timeless silhouettes, quality fabrics, and neutral tones—pieces that feel elevated but never overdone. While I have my foundations perfected (think tailored trousers, luxe cashmere knits, and the perfect ankle boots), I find that each winter brings a handful of new seasonal pieces that perfectly complement my curated closet. These are the kinds of items that make you feel instantly polished, whether you're running errands or heading to a festive gathering. For me, this season is all about layering those understated classics with a few statement touches.
When it comes to finding these pieces, NET-A-PORTER has always been my go-to. It's the one retailer that just gets my style, curating an edit of classic-with-a-twist items that feel both current and investment-worthy. This season, as I prepare for a calendar full of festive soirées, coffee dates, and cosy nights in, I'm once again turning to NET-A-PORTER's expertly curated collection. It's a place where practicality meets luxury, with pieces as versatile as they are beautiful. Whether it's a tailored miniskirt that's perfect for a winter dinner party or sneakers that are equal parts stylish and comfortable for weekend errands, the luxury retailer's edit speaks to every corner of my lifestyle.
This winter, NET-A-PORTER's selection feels particularly spot-on. From party-ready separates to everyday essentials, it's packed with pieces that blend seamlessly into my wardrobe while still making an impact. A few items already sitting in my cart? The Frankie Shop wool-blend coat—a perfect layer for crisp winter mornings—and the Khaite knit midi skirt, which I can see working well for day-to-night dressing. Then there are the chic sneakers—because even on my most casual days, I like my footwear to feel just as intentional as the rest of my look. Below, I've rounded up my 21 favourite pieces from NET-A-PORTER's winter edit. Trust me, you'll want to bookmark these for yourself (or for some stylish gift ideas).
