A good winter coat is essential. A great winter coat, in elegant off-white bouclé, is a lifetime investment. Off white bouclé wool blend coat, €299; www.arket.com.
There’s nothing like a carry-all that really does fit the kitchen sink. This woven style – recently spotted on Katie Holmes – has gone viral. Black Deliberate extra large woven shoulder bag, €200, at Dune.
A cinched-in blazer is the kind of feminine nod that’s perfectly ladylike, without being too much of a commitment. Grey asymmmetric wool-blend blazer, The Frankie Shop, €447; www.net-a-porter.com.
A surefire way to enliven even the most simple of winter outfits is with a statement hat. We love the feathered detailing and novel shape of this one from the Atelier range at COS. Black feathered hat with tie, €89, at COS.
Invest in the right black dress now and you’ll feel smugly ahead of the rest (and stylish, to boot). The frou-frou style of this one goes well with relaxed hair and makeup. Black A-line taffeta dress, €149; www.arket.com.
Day or night, a pair of metallic flats are an easy upgrade that will lend a bit of winter sparkle (and edge) to any outfit. Silver soft ballet flats, €89.95, at Massimo Dutti.
Not sure about the season’s obsession with barrel leg jeans? Never fear. Try a loose-fit wide-leg jean instead. The high waist is perfect for tucking in knits or slinky camisoles. Black Hugh vintage-wash relaxed wide-leg jeans, €250; www.aninebing.com.
Leopard print, tick. A hard-working party heel, tick. Point-toe shape, tick. These maximalist ankle boots speak to both the AW24 trends and the timely pieces you always come back to for going out dressing. Animal print stiletto boots, €45.95, at Zara.
Speaking of going out, don’t forget about a good top. This tank top embellished with silver discs is a stand-out buy – and it goes perfectly with jeans. Silver sequin disc top, M&S Collection, €47.50, at Marks & Spencer.
Winter isn’t just about practical shoulder bags, it’s about pretty, party bags, too. This one by Irish fashion designer Aoife Mullane feels nicely decadent. Navy Cloud bucket bag, Aoife Mullane, €225, at Brown Thomas.
