Who else is need of a little outfit inspiration? I think a brand new month always calls for a hefty injection of style to keep annoying wardrobe dilemmas at bay. I know I’ve had a few days lately where I’m feeling a little stuck for what to wear and a quick scroll through Instagram can often spark an idea or two. Whether it’s identifying the perfect accessory to pair with a new ensemble or the new hues to start adding to your closet, I’ve got just the inspo you need. So, if you’re in desperate need of a winter outfit to add to your weekly rotation then look no further than the following 12 ladies who will ensure that you walk out the door looking stylish and oh-so Insta-worthy.
Amp up your accessories
A classic suit is taken up a notch with strong accessories—brogues worked back with a ladylike top handle bag make for a pairing that pops.
Printed pants
Jeans are always a go-to during winter but sometimes you may just be in the mood to mix things up and that’s when a fun printed pant works beautifully. Pair it with a simple tee or alternatively take it up a notch with vibrant colours and striking accoutrements.
Go bright
The addition of a bright red jacket can instantly turn any outfit into a showstopper. There will always be a place for neutral shades but sometimes you just want to go for something that makes a statement.
Revert to the classics
There’s no other classic pairing quite like a white shirt and blue jeans. If you’re ever stuck for an outfit turn to tried and tested combinations that you know will work.
Add an oversized shirt
A man style shirt, that’s slightly looser in fit can be the most magically flattering thing you can wear. It’s sharp, chic and works to elongate your frame.
Try relaxed neutrals
I’ve written about my love of suiting before and I’m only becoming more of a fan. If you want something that’s a bit more relaxed try a neutral blazer with wide leg pants and for a look that’s polished but without looking too ‘done’.
Invest in a punchy knit
A great way to turn a winter outfit around is by adding a healthy dose of colour. An easy way to do this is with a vibrant knit that can work with everything from denim to classic black pants.
Roll your pants
It takes a few seconds but this nifty styling tweak can transform the look and feel of your favourite pants. Obviously it only works for a slimline pant but other than that you could employ this trick with everything from your fave skinny jeans to colourful cords (which are quickly becoming very much a thing).
Dress down elegant pieces
There are certain things in most of our wardrobes that I’m sure are just a little too dressy to wear during the day. Well, it’s time to rip up the rule book because behold: two tone denim paired with mules with an ornate buckle, a white tee and a classic top handle bag. It shouldn’t work but it really, really does.
Break out your skirts
A flowy skirt would ordinarily be relegated to spring/summer wardrobe territory but why not extend its wear into winter? Topped with a colourful knit and boots and you’ve got yourself a boho-inspired look that won’t leave you freezing your butt off during the next few months.
Just add sneakers
Never underestimate the versatility of the good ol’ fashion sneaker. Try pairing it with a slightly more formal outfit and see it give your ensemble a totally different vibe. In fact, why not challenge yourself to try switching out your fave dressy flats or heels for a pair of sneakers and watch as it makes your look feel fresh and new.
Go for a satchel
Whilst a roomy tote is great and backpacks have become a stylish staple, don’t forget how awesome a crossbody bag can be. Not only does it leave your hands free but it adds just the right relaxed touch to almost any outfit. Practicality and style combined!
