Winter really is the best time of year for those who love to compile a good outfit. Flighty summer dresses and easy T-shirts are all well and good, but they simply don’t have the depth of texture and the creative potential that comes from layering up knits, coats, jackets and boots. Plus, you also can’t beat a beautiful outerwear piece when it comes to dressing up wardrobe basics – and luckily, we are truly spoilt for choice this season in the coat department.

So what are team Vogue wearing as the mercury drops? The secret lies in re-working old favourites to feel fresh – on-trend outfits don’t always have to rely on newness, after all. Take the humble legging, which can be given a high-fashion-meets-equestrian twist when styled with a knee-high flat boot, oversized leather jacket and layered knitwear. Or a tailored miniskirt, which will take on a Prada-inspired spin with smart shirt layered over a rib knit top.
Those who prefer something a little more classic, meanwhile, should play with tonal shades of brown and navy. A knitted navy hoodie will be kicked into 2024 when paired with a colour-match trench coat, brown cords and polished loafers. Or, if you have a cosy kilt or blanket skirt, we recommend using it to balance out a roomy bomber jacket.

Hoodie + bomber jacket + checked shirt + jeans
The classic Burberry check is looking pretty appealing right now, especially when layered under a bomber jacket and paired with slouchy jeans. Finish the look off with Puma Speedcats and a roomy tote bag.
Barn jacket + mesh top + cardigan + jeans
For those who love a little print and pattern, look to a colourful Fair Isle knit, which will create interest when styled over a photographic print top and embroidered jeans.
Oversized leather jacket + polo leggings + knee-high boots
Everyone seems to be wearing leather jackets this year, and Cos’s funnel-neck style will inject polish into a pair of black leggings. Meanwhile, a striped roll-neck will give your autumn polo a little more longevity on sub-zero days.
Bomber jacket + layered top + blanket skirt
A sturdy biker boots is the perfect way to transition your summer skirts into winter, and Arket’s black pair make for a tempting addition to Cos’s fringed blanket skirt. Complete the pairing with Weekday’s roomy, khaki-coloured bomber.
Knitted hoodie + cord trousers + navy trench
When it comes to minimalist dressing in winter, you can’t go wrong with tonal layers, and this season navy feels suitably fresh. Filippa K’s navy knit bring an elevated spin on the traditional hoodie silhouette, and will layer nicely under Studio Nicholson’s navy trench. Finish with a pair of brown cords for that “dark academia” vibe.
