Bold Coat
Using a bold coat or jacket will instantly make your whole look appear richer. Thinking of bright colors, jewels, or even faux fur might be scary, but trust me. It will be an instant stylish piece; you will find it a statement piece.
Monochrome
Monochrome is when you wear all the same colors. It offers a splash of elegance that looks effortless and brings a look of luxury. Think colors like all white, black, neutrals, or a stunning camel color.
Jewelry
Whether you reach for bold statement pieces or simple and elegant jewelry, add it to your wardrobe. I love to layer necklaces, bracelets, etc. It will create dimension to the whole outfit, an instant fashion boost.
Faux Leather
Add some edge and style to your look with faux or genuine leather, from faux leather pants to jackets. Pair with softer textures to help make the look not appear so harsh and bold. Or go full sassy if you would like. Own the look, and you will be fierce.
Scarves
Scarves are incredible for elevating and offering a look of elegance to your style. I used one to add a pop of color to my outfit. It wrapped around my shoulders, and then fixed a belt to hold the scarf. It truly adds such a stunning look.

Structured Bag
There is something about a structured bag that can instantly transform a look. It offers a designer profile with clean lines, stunning hardware, and a sleek design. Structured bags tend to offer a more expensive price tag appeal. Go bold and even look for bright-colored bags if you feel your personality can pull it off.
Cashmere
Investing in a cashmere sweater or even a scarf can really elevate your look. Cashmere is so soft and offers a luxury appeal, and you can find great deals if you shop after season! Or, to save a bit of money, look for a cashmere blend for a more affordable buy.
Gloves
If you know you will be out in the elements, faux leather gloves can protect your skin and give you a luxurious look. Depending on your coat and outfit, aim for black, brown, or burgundy.

Footwear
An outfit can be ruined if you are not head-to-toe chic! Skip the worn boots or shoes and reach for winter ones with a nice, clean, and well-kept design. Make sure to clean scuff marks, polish leather, etc. It will provide a refined look.
Bold Prints
Sometimes, we view winter as needing darker colors, muted tones, etc. But step out of the box and play on prints and bold colors. It will give you a sophisticated or bright-colored look that will help you stand out in a crowd.
Turtlenecks
Turtlenecks offer old-money vibes. You can layer them with an outfit to help add depth. Layer with a dress sweater or even a blazer. It can give you a really polished look, and pairing it with some statement jewelry can modernize the look. It is a great way to incorporate color in a new way or print.
High-Waisted Trousers
Enhance the natural silhouette of your body with a high-waisted trouser. This will offer sophistication and help you with that stunning presentation. You will find corduroy, tweed, or wool perfect for the winter chill. Pair with a tucked-in blouse that will provide that effortless style.
Hair And Makeup
One way to richen up the look is to ensure your hair works with the outfit. A sleek low bun is always a way to offer that stunning appeal. You could also add some nice curls. Don’t forget if you enjoy wearing makeup. Add a neutral or bright red lip to enhance the look even more.
Let me know which of these you already do or what you might want to begin incorporating into your wardrobe and styling!
