Ladies, for some of you, being stylish during the harsh bitterly cold months is something that many may not give much thought to. However, it is not as hard as you may think! If we want to exude elegance throughout the year, we must not forget to ensure our winter wardrobe is also up to standard. By adding these pieces to your wardrobe, you can ensure that you are as stylish, elegant and warm during the winter.

Wool coat

Woolen or wool mix coats are such a great staple as not only do they look great, they provide such good insulation to help keep the cold at bay. If you are looking for something more luxurious, invest in a cashmere blend coat with feels and looks sublime. It can also keep you warm when you have to endure sub zero temperatures.

Leather gloves

Ladies this is a must! There is nothing more elegant than coming well prepared-fabulously! Leather gloves look great and keep your fingers very warm. Thinner gloves look great but are not as insulating as thicker gloves. If you also want to add a luxurious feel, invest in a pair with gorgeous fur trims.

Fur Coat

Wearing this wardrobe staple is probably one of the easiest ways to look luxurious in the winter. Depending on how you do wear it, you could instantly level up your look and look amazing at the same time. When choosing a fur coat (or a faux fur if you are that way inclined), choose a coat that is true to size. If you go a size up, you risk looking like a giant furball. Go a size down, the sleeves and the body of the coat will look short and could ruin your look. If you are wearing a long evening gown, opt for either a full-length coat or a midi coat if you find a full-length coat too opulent looking.

A short fur coats looks great with a pair of jeans but avoid when wearing with long dresses. Stick to neutral colours such as brown, navy, black and white. You risk leaning towards street style fashion with louder colours.

Don’t over accessorise when wearing a fur coat if you hope to exude elegance; you may risk looking overdone. Remember that quality is key- there is nothing worse than seeing faux fur coats that look borderline plastic. If you are choosing a faux fur coat, please invest in a good quality coat as this will improve your overall look.

Elegance, style, class. In order to be able to truly ‘level up’ or improve your overall look on the road to becoming an elegant woman, it is essential you invest in the following:

Level up your look with a Timeless Bag

A timeless handbag is always a worthwhile investment. It is a piece that you can wear for years to come. Also one that has the potential to go up in value. It is important to stick to neutral colours when you are investing in a piece for the first time. This will enable you to wear it with almost every outfit.  Also, choose a size big enough to fit in all your essentials but one that you could wear in the evenings too. Timeless handbags to invest in.

A pair of good quality leather court heels

Leather court heels in neutral shades, a wardrobe staple. Due to its versatility, these can be worn with jeans for a smart, casual, elegant look, or with a skirt, dress or a pair of tailored trousers. Not only do they give you an air of sophistication, a good quality pair of leather heels will instantly elevate your look. If you are completely against wearing any animal skin, opt for a good pair of satin shoes.

An elegant ¾ length coat

Three quarter length coats are a perfect wardrobe staple.  This is because the length enables you to wear it with all kinds of outfits, from jeans to mini, midi and maxi skirts and dresses. Anything longer would look too formal and out of place, and anything shorter could run the risk of looking inelegant. Invest in excellent fabrics such as cashmere and wool mixes. Remember, fabrics are just as important as the cut on a tailored coat, so do not cut corners on your purchase. Again, stick to neutral colours such as camel, black, navy and very light blush pink as these work well with most colours.

A knee length shift dress

A shift dress is a classic piece that every elegant lady should have in her wardrobe to level up your look.  When seeking to make a purchase, look out for styles that accentuate your figure. Shift dresses are designed to elevate your look and hide parts of your body that may frustrate you. However, if you wear the wrong styles for your body shape, you could run the risk of looking bulky or shapeless. If you are on the curvier side, a shift dress can run the risk of being tight on your hips and looser everywhere. Should this be the case, think of swapping a shift dress for a loose tunic with a waist belt.

A tailored skirt or trouser suit

Buying a suit is a great idea especially if you are on a budget due to its versatility. You could wear the blazer with jeans, a turtleneck and skirt and you could wear the corresponding bottoms with many different tops of blouses. It is an excellent must have and something which can be used over and over again.

You may be quite junior in your style at the moment and/or not the experimental type. You may be accustomed to dressing for comfort more than anything else so your wardrobe may be functional as opposed to fashionable. However, you’d be surprised to discover that accessories, such as elegant gloves have the ability to instantly change your outfit from mundane to chic.

  • When choosing a pair of elegant gloves ensure that the colour is appropriate.
  • Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. Fingerless gloves look fabulous when worn as a casual, chic look and long gloves look stunning with a ¾ sleeve fur coat. Think outside the box when choosing a pair to wear.
  • Stick to high quality fabrics; supple, soft leathers are always a great choice; however, if you do not wear animal skins there are excellent faux leather choices available.
  • Fur trims instantly levels up your look. Tip: If you have a favourite pair of gloves which don’t have fur trims on, you can purchase a pair of fur trims to wear on your wrists over the gloves.
  • Avoid materials such as polyester and latex. These cheapen your look.
  • Satin gloves are only really suitable as evening wear. If you are wearing long gloves, make sure the fabric of your gloves matches your dress. This goes for velvet gloves too. Long leather gloves are very chic and versatile and can be worn with a variety of outfits.
  • Avoid wearing jewellery over your gloves. This tends to look odd.
