To build an elegant capsule wardrobe, you need a double breasted coat, a double breasted blazer, a tweed jacket, a bow blouse, a midi pleated skirt, tweed skirt, wide-leg pants, black pointy-toe boots, black pointy-toe ankle boots, small top handle bag, smooth leather gloves, fascinator, black boater hat, wide brim wool felt hat, unadorned hair accessories. A double breasted coat (like this one from Max Mara) is the most important piece in an elegant winter capsule wardrobe. A double-breasted coat will make your winter outfit look elegant instantly. Even sweatpants set and sneakers look elegant when styled with a double-breasted coat.
A double breasted blazer made of wool (like this one from Sandro) is a chic winter jacket that can make you look elegant even in leggings. Indeed, you can wear leggings as pants if you style them with a double-breasted blazer. You did see how I styled my black leggings with a double-breasted wool blazer from Sandro, right? Another even more elegant winter jacket is a tweed jacket. Tweed makes everyone elegant instantly.
Apart from being one of the most fashionable blouses of the season, furthermore, the most popular top for Zoom meetings in 2024, a bow blouse is undeniably elegant too. Put on this pink blouse and blue jeans, and you will see how dressy can a casual date outfit be. A midi skirt is another piece that shouldn’t miss in an elegant winter capsule wardrobe in 2024 – apart from being elegant it is also fashionable for 2024. Upgrade your capsule winter wardrobe with a pencil skirt, Dior tulle midi skirt, a black A-style midi skirt, or a midi pleated skirt.
Wish to look elegant yet don’t want to lower your hems? Put on a tweed skirt, then! A short tweed skirt is as elegant as a midi skirt. Wide-leg pants prove you don’t need to sacrifice comfort for elegance. Wide-leg pants are as elegant as comfortable. Furthermore, wide-leg pants can make any outfit look more dressy and elegant. And my wide-leg pants and cable knit sweater outfit you will see in this article proves that quite well.
Pointy toe boots and pointy toe booties might not be the most fashionable winter 2024 boots, but they are the most elegant boots ever made. Pointy toe boots are sleek and chic and go well with anything. While you don’t need to match your bag with shoes to look elegant, you should opt for a small top handle bag.
A small top handle bag is the most elegant handbag in winter. Even though smooth leather gloves will not make you look elegant instantly, they will make a difference. In short, to dress elegantly in winter, wear leather gloves instead of wool gloves. Last but not least, unadorned hair accessories. Either a fashionable black headband, or a precious barrette are the winter accessory that can make you look classy instantly.
