Having solid foundations are essential in almost every part of life, and fashion is no exception. When you look at all your favourite fashion people, you'll find they all have one thing in common - great basics. These are the pillars that the best wardrobes are built upon, and therefore it's important to find good quality pieces that will withstand changing seasons, trends and time. As for me, I look to Arket for my essentials.
Like many of you, I've become much more considered when it comes to shopping. In building my dream wardrobe, I'm focused on quality over quantity, and eternally chic styles that I can rely upon for years to go. Lucky for us, this Nordic brand ticks all the boxes. Arket has proven their sartorial worth with supplying elevated basics so good that they're constantly being restocked. Take the classic hopsack blazer that is not only the perfect shape, but a simple style that accounts for endless outfit options. As we enter the cooler months, Arket has (as always) offered up an array of cold weather essentials from coats and jumpers to boots that will make the darker and damper months that bit more bearable. You'll find puffer coats that win in style and function, cosy knits to beat the chill, and chic boots that will take you from dog walk to dinner out.
Keep scrolling for the elevated winter essentials from Arket.
