From puffer jackets to cargo pants, this edit of high-street heroes has every winter box ticked.
When it comes to stocking up on style staples this season, you could do far worse than turning your attention to the great British high street.
Most of the best fashion sales started in December last year, so now some brands have even started to offer additional discounts to draw the sales to a close. Meaning fresh new pieces are already dropping into the new-in sections, so there’s no better time to have a browse online at the items worth adding to your winter wardrobe.
After all, nobody forms the backbone of a capsule wardrobe – the pieces that do an outfit’s heavy lifting – better than the high street. So we’ve rounded up the affordable and achingly cool high-street gems that will not only provide the basis for all your winter outfits, but will also stand the test of time as you whip them out of retirement again and again.
Best winter buys
Mango rounded neck cotton T-shirt
A basic long-sleeved Breton top can be the base to many non-basic outfits. Layer under a shirt, with a blazer or even under a slip dress with boots – the outfit possibilities are endless.
Cos merino wool turtleneck maxi dress
There’s no doubt about it, every capsule wardrobe should include a knit dress. One of the most versatile styles around, this cobalt beauty needs minimal styling to look premium.
& Other Stories wrap cardigan
Like the wrap dress, a wrap cardigan is universally flattering. & Other Stories are so sure this cosy cardie is a winner, the high-street hero made it in not one, not two but 15 other colours!
Vagabond Vivian tall boots
Sometimes, love-forever pieces are worth that extra spend. Enter: Vagabond’s Vivian boots. The knee-high leather style is so sleek, everyone will mistake these for a designer pair.
H&M+ oversized bomber jacket
The bomber jacket is back, and it’s a spring/summer 2023 mini trend. Buy now, wear all winter (over chunky knits) and keep wearing through to next season over mini dresses with sandals.
Monki classic bright pink beanie
As temperatures drop, no winter outfit is complete without all the additional accessories. Hats, scarves, gloves and even ear muffs and balaclavas are key to staying warm when you have to leave the house.
Kitri Petra multi floral dress
Invest in a brilliant floral midi dress and it’ll work hard for you no matter what season or even year you buy it in. Fact. This Kitri frock with shirred detail is as flattering as it is stylish.
Marks & Spencer Per Una longline puffer coat
Fashion naturally takes a more practical turn during winter. This quilted coat is ideal for those who don’t like a chunky puffer as the more streamline fit is ideal for layering over thermals and knitwear.
Arket relaxed poplin shirt
Arket is well-known for being top tier when it comes to elevated basics. You know, the kind you’ll invest in and wear for years to come – just like this striped shirt. Add over a roll neck jumper and tuck into wool trousers for a staple winter look.
New Look cargo trousers
Cargo trousers were everywhere last year, and they’re not going anywhere for 2023, either. Wear with trainers to keep them casual or add heeled boots and a blazer for a more polished look.
Nobody’s Child funnel neck jumper
Winter is dull, but your wardrobe needn’t be. Add a splash of colour to your everyday outfits with a citrus knit that you’ll also be able to style with linen shorts come spring.
