Through icy mornings and chilly winds, winter is slowly easing its way in, and in response, I've started to prep my winter wish list. The first item was a seriously chic coat from Reformation, ready to take on the shift in weather and become a reliable piece for many years to come. As a timeless style sure to be a hit, I figured it might also feature on some of our reader's wish lists, so I headed in-store to get an idea of sizing and fit. Strolling through the beautiful Reformation store, I started to build an outfit to show off the coat in question, but quickly found my wish list growing as I went. By the time I hit the dressing rooms, I had five new hero pieces that were set to come home with me, and I simply couldn't keep them to myself.

Whilst most known for excellent dresses that have amassed cult followings and seriously quick sell-out rates, the brand has proven that its wares can rise to any occasion. Grand or minor, an elegant party or a simple stroll for coffee, the answer to looking chic while doing anything is, in my opinion, Reformation.

In total, five pieces swiftly joined my wish list, some of which are key styles for the colder months, and others ready to support elegant outfit builds throughout the year. Either way, these are all pieces that I know I'll get serious use out of. As ever with my try-ons, I like to give as much information as possible on size, fit and texture, making your shopping experience that much easier. For reference, I'm 5'2" and find that Reformation's trousers are often quite long, but they have a great selection of petite options, and for pieces that don't I know that any dry cleaners will be able to take off a few inches for a reasonable price. In tops, coats and dresses, I tend to wear a size small, and have given guidance below on the fit of each piece.

Keep scrolling to explore the 5 Reformation pieces that joined my winter wish list and more standout styles from the brand.

Style Notes: The first thing on my winter wish list is a great coat, and I've had my sights set on the Lucas since it first released. The classic double-breasted silhouette is destined to stand the test of time, bolstered by the heavy-weight fabric and soft recycled wool finish. In terms of sizing, I went for the XS in this coat as I wanted a neat fit on the shoulders, and whilst I love a longline silhouette, if you are shorter and want a more classic fit, the style does come in petite too. The chestnut shade is ready to integrate immediately with the rest of my wardrobe, but it also comes in four other shades so you're sure to find the perfect iteration for you, be it bold red or classic black.

Style Notes: Whilst the duo of jeans-and-a-nice-top is heralded for its reliability and ease, I've often found finding the nice-top aspect slightly tricky. Anytime I want a top that stays true to my minimalist aesthetic, yet with enough edge to take on cocktail dates or evenings out, Reformation is my first port of call. And the Elio currently has all my attention. Ideal for winter, the cosy fabric is primed for the cooler evenings, and the unique neckline brings an elegant twist to a simple piece. Here I've styled the top with the Mason Pants, a best-selling tailored trouser that comes in petite, regular and curve silhouettes, and you can find it below in the Shop More section. I tried the size small here which fit perfectly. This top also comes in extended sizes.

Style Notes: I spent many years avoiding dresses of all forms, and it was Reformation that broke that cycle for me. The brand is known for this category in particular, excelling in dressier styles that are often spotted at weddings and cocktail occasions, whilst the day dresses are a favourite amongst the fashion set. For winter, Reformation offers an elegant, refined Merino wool style that completed my shift in status from devoted trouser wearer to dress enthusiast. The fabric is lightweight, adding an ease and movement to the silhouette that can transfer from day to nighttime styling. The open back adds a romantic finish and the midi length completes the polished silhouette. Here I've tried the size small which fit perfectly. To complete the look simply add a pair of elegant boots, here I've tried the Remy Boots by Reformation that can be found in the Shop More section below.

Style Notes: If you read my latest article, you'll know that I've been infatuated by Wholesale Replica Bag knitwear trend that's been spotted across Copenhagen and London, the scarf knit. Reformation taps into the trend with a sumptuous style made from 95% recycled cashmere and 5% cashmere. With a vest silhouette and long draped scarf finish, there's a contemporary edge to this piece whilst still retaining an eternal appeal in muted shades of neutrals. The scarf is detachable, so you can wear the top simply without, or bring a serious level of chic to an ensemble with the sleek combination. Here I've tried the size small which has just enough ease to have a bit of slouch to it, or you can size down for a neater fit.

Style Notes: As a handbag enthusiast, I believe that no outfit is complete without a great bag. Whilst trying on the beloved Dusk Knit and Val '90s Mid Rise jeans (both of which I truly adore) I needed a pop of colour to bring it all together. Enter the Patrizia bag. When Reformation first ventured into the handbag space, I knew we were about to see great things, and this bag proves it. With a bowling bag silhouette, this tote is undeniably refined and in turn undoubtedly practical. The shape feels compact thanks to the elongated silhouette, but inside there's plenty of room for all the essentials and more. Tucked under an arm, carried by the handles or slid into the crook of your arm, the Patrizia bag is a highly premium-looking accessory that can bring any outfit to all new heights. Now it's available in this deep burgundy shade, along with a classic black and breathtaking brown suede.
