At the beginning of each season I like to take a look inside my wardrobe and assess the items that are doing the hardest work for me, as well as the items that aren’t pulling their weight. Keen to give my rotation the best fighting chance of seeing me through the winter season in style, I’ve sought out styling inspiration from a few of my favourite European influencers to help me fill in any gaps.
Familiar with dressing for chilly climates, this elite style set hosts some of the chicest wardrobes I’ve seen. Eager to give my style a winter refresh, read on to discover the seven winter outfits I’ll be copying from European fashion people this season.
7 CHIC WINTER OUTFITS I’VE SPOTTED ACROSS EUROPE
1. FLUFFY COAT + LEATHER BELT
Style Notes: Fluffy coats are quickly coming through as one of the biggest outerwear trends of the season, and European fashion people are wearing theirs with the addition of a sleek leather belt to give them an elevated edge. Style over a warm knit and wear with pointed toe boots to neaten up your fluffy look.
