1. The Blanket Coat Reimagined
Forget stiff tailoring—this winter, coats are taking a softer turn, wrapping us in wooly, oversized comfort. Imagine the coziness of your favorite blanket, but make it structured enough to strut down the street.
Wearing
A simple gold chain necklace or stud earrings add just a touch of polish.
If you’re stepping outside for family photos, drape a plaid blanket scarf over your shoulders for an extra festive touch.

3. Ultimate Multitasker Boots
Winter boots are the ultimate multitaskers, expected to withstand weather tantrums while looking sharp. Weather you are going for the slouchy knee-high or a chunky-soled Chelsea: it's a matter of seeking contrasts. Comfortable boots go extremely well with shorts or tight feminine shapes. Alternatively, a kitten heel matches perfectly with straight jeans or an oversized blazer. Pick your player.

Ribbed turtleneck maxis and slinky sweater dresses with strategic slits.
Gabriela Hearst’s refined knits.
Over knee-high boots, cinched at the waist, and layered with a floor-sweeping coat.
