My attention has changed to cool months as Al Fresco’s dinner and sun-soaked days are officially behind us. As a fashion editor, I have been able to get my first glimpse into this season’s collection back to the beginning of this year, and since then I have secretly counted the layers, cozy knitwear and soft coats back to everyday. In my office yesterday I realized that I wasn’t alone in this. My fellow editors are also ready to reunite with a precious winter purchase and are already planning a new season of wardrobe. Surrounded by such a stylish bunch, I thought I would tap the experts for the top pieces of their winter wish list.
As a group, we all have our own personal style. To bring refined charm, he leaned against the shapes of the sculpture and finer details to devote his wardrobe to refined minimalism. Others are masters of prints and patterns, pulling bold styles seamlessly to show maximum status. And in the meantime there are people who place color palettes and textures before every outfit decision. But one thing that holds us back is our approach to shopping. New additions are thoughtfully considered, overwhelmed by the longevity in our wardrobe, and styling options and seasonality are considered before checking out. Here, each bookmarked for the season was done through a series of checks to ensure that it was a valuable addition, regardless of price. Now we have a very advanced compilation of new season purchases worth watching.
With cool days getting caught up in, many of us have been paying attention to ensuring that it’s perfect Winter coat. It is a staple that allows us to see us all the way to the first blooming flowers of spring, thus demanding equal versatility and styling skills. Once our linens were stored and rested again, the denim was back to take over as a reliable trouser fabric that supports our daytime and evening looks. Some editors have returned to classics with wide leg silhouettes and cropped styles, while others have leaned towards important season trends, particularly indigo shades and barrel leg silhouettes. One aspect of winter dressing we mutually worship is the return of accessories to everyday life. It’s easy to make the simplicity of summer dressings, but from cozy gloves to luxurious scarves and some outstanding jewelry options, you can add depth and richness to your winter look through accessories that will become your daily feature.

I bought a Rebecca pick:
Diotima
Marcus Wool Turtle Blazer
“I’ve had a tailored wool coat for a long time, but this season I’m in the market for shorter options. I love the silhouette of this, the way I finish just below my waist.
Dara
Twisted Alley Hurricane Jeans
“Darla is one of my favorite denim brands. I’ve been looking at this pair of jeans for a while, and I’m very obsessed with running back and forth through the details of these almost jeans.
Monica Vinader
Sterling Silver Aria Cord Necklace
“If the shell pendants appear to reign at its best in the summer, I feel that the winter alternative is a more sculptural style, using ropes, natural stones and organically shaped metals.

I bought a poppy pick:
róhe
Mandarin Double Face Wool Jacket
“I’m a summer girl so I always have a hard time dressing in autumn and winter. Every year I try to make a high staple wardrobe that will look at me through the cold months. This year I’m focusing on this gorgeous wool jacket from Roge. Massimo Dutti has a similar style of shirt shape. This is a great option.”
” Speaking of jeans, I have to desperately invest in a new pair this season, because everything I have now is too big, too small, or too waning. Like most people, Denim’s shopping finds daunting, but I’ve heard some great things about COS’ arch jeans.
Le Monde Beryl
Luna Slipper / Ecru Leather
“There’s a soft spot for what my boyfriend calls ‘silly shoes’. These are not the most practical color choices, but they are undoubtedly chic and anyone who said my winter shoes look classy can change these shoes! ”

Shopping Natalie’s Pick:
cos
Leather gloves lined with cashmere
“Gloves are not only a practical addition when the weather inevitably cools, but also an elegant finish when constructed with supple leather.
Damson Madder
Marissa Sia Midi Dress – Multi Check
“The rising trend of check prints in autumn is expected to become itself this winter, and Damson Mudder’s rather long-sleeved dresses are difficult to wear in the past. Wearing them on their own, they’ll stand up to a fair day and well laid out with chunky knits and biker boots that keep the weather cool.”
Paris Texas
Jane Leather Knee Boots
“A little western, a little leaning forward, these block heel boots offer everything you’re looking for in winter shoes, and I often wear them in mid-lengths and mini dresses.
I bought a Marina pick:
cos
Knit Alpaca Blend T-shirt
“The moment I slid through this alpaca blend tea I felt cocotted with softness. The wool drape feels luxurious, but it feels light. I pair it easily with everything from tailored trousers to denim.
reform
Gail Satin Mid Rise Bias Pants
“You rarely find these easy yet elegant pants, but these satin bias cut pants nail it. The mid-rice sits comfortably, and the fabric gives a beautiful, scuffy look on your body.
nour hammour
Suede trench coat with tate belt
“With this belted suede trench, it feels like armor in the chicest way. The warm suede tone and tailored wrap silhouette give it a moment’s presence. I can’t wait to wear it over my black jeans or slip dresses.

Charles & Keith
Gale scattered crossover straps Bow Mary Janes
“A fair bit and practical part, these Charles and Keith ballet flats are back with me this season. We really live in the ballet flat era. These are the perfect finishers for any look, whether it’s jeans, skirts, floor-length dresses.”
