Winter is the season of opulent textures, cosy layers, and timeless elegance. While you don't need a limitless budget to look expensive, mastering the art of winter dressing can elevate your style game. On top of that, to a degree, you’re a bit limited anyway on how you can give off an expensive look (especially as a busy mum). When you’re out and about, you could be wearing the cutest outfit, but it’s most likely going to be covered up by your coat.

So then you only have your accessories, your makeup, and your hair to play as the biggest components in looking expensive and elegant in general. So, even in the winter, it’s 100% totally possible to achieve an expensive look. So, here’s exactly what you need to know!

Invest in Quality Outerwear

As mentioned above, your outfits will usually be covered up, and what takes most of the notice will be your outwear. An expensive-looking winter wardrobe begins with top-notch outerwear. So why not look into highly elegant outerwear brands such as Moncler Gilet? The materials itself is going to count just as much as the brand; you might want to look into cashmere, wool, or even shearling.


Opt for classic styles like a tailored wool coat, a timeless trench, or a chic faux fur coat that exudes sophistication. So, to sum it up, the brand, the material, and the style of the coat are going to play such a big role in looking expensive and feeling elegant. 

Tailoring is Key

The fit of your clothing can make or break an expensive look. So, you’re obviously going to want to ensure that your winter pieces fit you impeccably. Nice fitted clothing is key, nothing too tight and nothing too slouchy or baggy either. So, if you can, try to invest in tailoring to adjust coats, blazers, trousers, and dresses to your body shape. Honestly, well-fitted clothing instantly elevates your appearance. This isn’t just for winter clothes either; all of your clothes should be tailored to your body as this is the number one way to look better in them and look expensive overall. 

Footwear is Everything

Honestly, just like tailoring your footwear, it can also make or break your outfit. So, you’ll need to invest in a pair of high-quality winter boots or some type of fashionable winter shoe (that’s not trainers). Look for classic styles like knee-high leather boots, suede ankle boots, or chic over-the-knee boots. You’ll want to ensure they are well-maintained to keep them looking pristine.

You Can Never Go Wrong with Monochrome

Other than the Mod Fashion of the 1960s, monochromes have been essentially timeless and elegant, and everyone just looks incredible! Monochromatic outfits create a streamlined and expensive appearance. The concept is the same for interior design, and it’s hands-down still prevalent in fashion too. So it’s really about using a single colour, and even slight variants of that shade are totally fine. This not only elongates your silhouette but also exudes confidence and sophistication. Shades like beige, brown, black, and white are perfect when going monochromatic.
