When the temperature drops, dressing warmly doesn't have to mean compromising on style. Because just as cosiness becomes a top priority, winter also gives us beautiful textures, rich colours and luxury fabrics to enjoy.
Discover our guide for dressing warmly in style as the colder days arrive. With clever tips, inspiration and winter dress ideas, you'll feel ready to enjoy the coldest months in comfort and style.
Choose the right base layers
There's rarely a perfect temperature in winter. One moment you can see your breath in the cold; the next, you're feeling far too warm on a bus or train. The secret lies in clever layering, giving you versatile winter outfit ideas you can adapt with ease as you move through your day.
Layering does more than keep out the cold – it's where winter outfits become more interesting. Think of a neat roll neck peeping out from beneath a favourite dress, or a soft top layered under a wrap. These simple additions make an outfit feel more considered while giving you warmth when you need it.

Winter outfit ideas with texture
There are so many lovely textures to enjoy now that winter has come around. So many, in fact, that it becomes hard not to add texture. Think of the cold-weather favourites we're welcoming back into our wardrobe now, such as denim, suede, wool and corduroy – all of them add beautiful texture and interest to your outfit, as well as welcome warmth on chilly days.
Our designers' tip for winter clothes style ideas is to layer different textures for a put-together look. Try a silk scarf with a soft wool dress, or pair corduroy trousers with a smooth jersey top or cosy knit. It's a simple way to make familiar pieces feel fresh and give your winter outfit ideas a little more character.
Make outerwear your statement
You can't be without a coat in winter, so why not make it stylish? Don't let the cold cramp your style with a warm coat in a rich colour or luxurious fabric.
Timeless neutrals like chocolate, grey or camel will go with so much you already own and give you plenty of winter dress ideas, while a bold pop of colour will brighten your look and feel so good to wear. Discover our new collection of coats and jackets for versatile winter clothes style ideas.
Consider the practical details that will make your coat wonderful to wear. Is it roomy enough to layer over your favourite knit? Are there thoughtful touches like pockets and taped seams that will keep you warm and dry and winter days? These are the all-important details that make a big difference on cold days.

Embrace seasonal shades
Feel beautifully ready for the season with a palette of rich, deep shades. As summer's lighter colours give way to warmer hues, look to burgundy, emerald and deep navy – beautifully wearable shades that pair easily with so much in your wardrobe.
For a sophisticated winter look, try combining different tones of the same colour. This simple approach to dressing creates depth and makes your whole outfit feel sophisticated and put-together with very little effort.

Add cosy accessories
If you want to fend off the chill, cosy accessories are a must.
Look to a snug pair of gloves – touchscreen styles are especially helpful so you can still take calls – to complete your winter outfit and give you a great opportunity to add colour and pattern too.
And what would winter be without a collection of cosy scarves? Look for styles made from naturally smooth merino or enriched with silk for a touch of luxury. Drape one over a neutral coat to add warmth, texture and a welcome touch of colour.
