7 Stylish But Low-Effort Winter Outfits You'll Want to Copy Immediately
Winter fosters many mixed sentiments: excitement for cosy dressing, but frustration with the relentless cold; the love of outerwear, but resentment towards its necessity. To top it all off, our energy levels collectively plummet, leaving us with little motivation to assemble suitable looks. The solution is to arm ourselves with a collection of easy winter outfits that will make getting dressed—even on the darkest, dreariest mornings—a less daunting, maybe even enjoyable, prospect.
Getting dressed in winter can be difficult, especially when you want to look chic and stay warm in the process. But somehow, each time I open Instagram I'm met with a stream of influencers who make it look so simple—and I want in.
Below, I’ve rounded up seven impressive winter outfits I’ve spotted lately, all of which include staples that may already be lingering in your wardrobe. And if not, I've included the key pieces you'll need to re-create your favourite looks. Consider your winter outfit rotation sorted.
EASY WINTER OUTFITS TO TRY:
1. Camel Coat + Straight-Leg Jeans + Loafers
Style Notes: When dressing for cold weather, one way to retain a sense of style is by sticking to the classics. Lizzy has done just that with her camel coat, blue jeans and loafers combination.
Shop the look:
H&M's cashmere collection is one of the best on the high street right now.
Citizens of Humanity is a key brand for high-quality denim.
2. Puffer Jacket + Leggings + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: For the ultimate cosy and casual look, team a puffer jacket with your softest leggings (even better: a thermal pair). Finally, sleek knee-high riding boots will add a fashion touch to the outfit.
Shop the look:
A practical and stylish addition to your wardrobe.
3. Wrap Coat + White Jeans + Suede Boots
Style Notes: At this time of year, the temptation to dress in dark, moody hues takes hold. Combat this instinct with a fresh palette of greys, whites and tan.
Shop the look:
This elegant coat will go with every outfit (and make it ten times chicer).
You could also style these jeans with shades of ivory and pearl for a ‘winter whites’ look.
4. Knitted Co-ord + Kitten Heels
Style Notes: Knitwear in all its forms is one of the joys of this season—even those missing summer can't deny their love of a slouchy knit. For a more refined take, swap your jumper and jeans for an elevated co-ord.
Shop the look:
There's something so elegant about slingbacks.
5. Maxi Coat + Bright Scarf + Wide-Leg Trousers
Style Notes: Incorporating a well-placed pop of a trending colour is your ticket to a low-effort, stylish ensemble. See Francesca's use of red accessories for inspiration.
Shop the look:
Abercrombie's tailoring is not to be overlooked.
6. Wool Jacket + Knitted Skirt + Trainers
Style Notes: It's easy to live in jeans through the winter months, but a wool skirt can be just as simple to style while offering double the comfort.
Shop the look:
Massimo's coat and jacket selection is on-point right now.
A refreshing change from the average black cross-body.
7. Turtleneck + Brown Trousers + Square-Toe Shoes
Style Notes: Minor considerations can be the difference between a boring outfit and one that catches glances as you walk down the street. A square-toed shoe is a directional choice, and tonal styling always makes an outfit feel intentional.
Shop the look:
These drawstring trousers strike the balance between laid-back and polished.
