Six new-season pieces worth a place in your wardrobe
The most covetable new trends and updated classics to make this your best-dressed winter yet
We know it’s not just the weather that’s changeable right now, but whatever the next few months have in store for us all, one certainty is that the colder days lend themselves to a world of new wardrobe possibilities. Following on from a very casual summer, this winter’s laid-back approach to dressing still features some feel-good investment pieces that’ll give you a lift. So whether you’re stuck in a style rut or just need something to gently pull you out of the start-of-winter funk, read on.
1.
The Overcoat
You’d be hard pressed to find a better investment than this heavyweight wool coat. Unstructured yet smart and comfortable, it’s a modern take on a traditional coat and just what your wardrobe needs. The subtle check looks as good over a suit as with jeans.
2.
The Cashmere Hoodie
We’re all at home more and have become accustomed to loungewear, but those pieces are surely due an update. The cashmere hoodie is a fine place to start. Less bulky than jersey, it has warmth, comfort and style, and versatility too – add matching joggers or an overcoat and chinos.
3.
The Elevated Joggers
While we encourage you to welcome back less casual pieces (if you ever let them out of your sight), we’re not anti-loungewear. Try replacing old faithfuls with smart joggers with added details like an elasticated cuff and tailored silhouette.
4.
The New-Season Blazer
Zoom calls may now be more common than face-to-face meetings but when you do leave the house, you want to make a good impression – cue a blazer. This is classic enough to be a go-to for years to come. It’s not often you see a piece this perfect, so snap it up.
5.
The Stretch Chinos
Built-to-last chinos are a wardrobe staple. If the past months have been a bit more indulgent than usual, it’s worth getting a pair with stretch. Kin’s are known for their versatility, boxy shape and innovative materials, so you know you’re buying the best.
6.
The Ribbed Beanie
Whether you’re yet to find the perfect hat or even dip your toe into headwear, the beanie is a style essential – particularly when it comes in cashmere. This is a piece that gets bonus points for being flattering and easy to wear to boot.
