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.

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.

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.

5. Maxi Coat + Bright Scarf + Wide-Leg Trousers

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:

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.
