First up is some statement-making outerwear: This winter, nothing is as essential to capsule wardrobe dressing as Zara’s menswear-inspired double-breasted coat. Styling-wise, wear the It item with H&M’s ribbed-knit dress and a pair of chunky loafers—also from Zara. Then, there is H&M’s timeless trench coat, which is a perfectly polished mate for Everlane’s striped crewneck sweater and a pair of Toteme trouser-esque black leggings. Second-skin sweaters, like those from Naadam, Deiji Studios, and Cos, are another MVP in any given minimalist outfit formula. Wear yours with pairs of faux-leather trousers or denim midiskirts.
Meanwhile, a selection of quietly chic accessories from Nothing Written to Massimo Dutti are not to be missed out on. Other prized picks include Dolce Vita’s winter white loafers and a masterfully minimal moon bag from St. Agni. Get the quiet luxury look, below and shop twelve affordable minimalist outfits—all for under $300.
The Ladylike Jacket With a Metallic Ballet Flat
Nod at spring with this minimalist outfit formula; the foundation being Mango’s tweed ladylike jacket in classic black. Its closet cohorts include a pair of dark wash baggy jeans from Everlane and Mango’s metallic ballet flats. Meanwhile, Nothing Written’s croc-embellished tote bag adds just the right amount of shine.
The Timeless Trench With a Trouser-Esque Legging
For easy, effortless outfit elevation, few things beat a timeless trench coat. From H&M, style yours with Everlane’s seasonless striped crewneck and a pair of trouser-esque leggings from Toteme. Complete the look in a pair of trusty Adidas Sambas.
The Chic Gray Cardigan With a Clean-Lined Maxiskirt
Thanks to Miu Miu’s fall 2023 collection, chic cardigans transition from catwalk to closet seamlessly. This winter, sport the top trend by way of H&M’s fine knit style. Then, pair the polished pick with a clean-lined maxiskirt from Max Mara Leisure and Sam Edelman’s little black loafers. Cos’ double-faced wool jacket pulls the entire look together.
The Menswear-Inspired Overcoat With a Notable Knit Dress
Sometimes you just can’t beat borrowing from the boys. And in this case, we’re slipping into Zara’s menswear-inspired overcoat with H&M’s cozy ribbed knit dress. A pair of glossy lug-sole loafers (also from Zara) toughens up the look, while J.Crew’s black bucket bag is classically cool.
The Fabulous Faux-Leather Pant With a Kitten-Heel Boot
This affordable minimalist outfit combines two of our favorite winter trends: the faux-leather pant and kitten-heel boot. For slightly edgier attire, sport Max Mara Leisure’s croc-embellished trousers with Jeffrey Campbell’s pointed-toe boots. Zara’s toggle-adorned hooded jacket and Cos’ chunky crewneck are other crucial elements to the final look.
The Winter White Outfit Formula With a Minimalist Mary Jane
Is there anything more (quietly) luxurious than sporting an all-white winter outfit during the cold weather season? Get the masterfully monochromatic courtesy of Mango’s soft-knit coat, a pair of barrel-leg white jeans from Frame, and Jardin Des Oranger’s cable-knit cardigan. This outfit’s pièce de résistance is none other than Everlane’s little white Mary Janes.
The Double-Denim Look a Minimalist Moon Bag
When it comes to foundational wardrobe essentials, a great pair of denim is tried and true. Go one step further this winter and style H&M’s Western-inspired denim overshirt with Agolde’s signature criss-cross jeans. Other minimalist must-haves catching our eyes include a pair of Coach textured loafers and a minimalist moon bag from St. Agni.
The Baggy Brown Corduroys With a Matching Cardigan
Baggy brown corduroy pants have officially gone from classic to cool-girl–and this Citizens of Humanity pair is proof. Continue the all-brown look courtesy of Splendid’s textural cardigan, Reformation’s suede bucket bag, and Massimo Dutti’s chocolate brown penny loafers.
The Minimalist Miniskirt With a Classic Black Overcoat
The minimalist (and mature) miniskirt is a must-have in any capsule closet. Dressed or down, we’re wearing ours from Loulou Studio with Zara’s classic black overcoat and H&M’s roomy cashmere turtleneck sweater. Meanwhile, Mango’s knee-high riding boots complete the downtown aesthetic.
The Faux-Fur Jacket With a Denim Midiskirt
Yes, a fabulous faux fur jacket is minimalist in our eyes, especially this classic brown version from Pixie Market. Styling-wise, Ganni’s denim midiskirt is a go-to; and same goes for this buttoned-up cardigan from Deiji Studios. Dolce Vita’s square-toed loafers are another pared-back, but never boring pick.
The Cherry Red Crewneck With a Statement Jean
Statement red clothing is the top trend of the season–and all eyes are on Naadam’s cherry red crewneck. Styling-wise, pair the covetable shade with Zara’s statement velvet jeans and an oversized shearling jacket also from Zara. Then, Jeffrey Campbell’s mesh Mary Janes prove that sometimes, less is really more.
The Feather-Trimmed Going-Out Top With a Tailored Trouser
Allow us to introduce you to your new minimalist (with a twist!) going-out top: Veronica Beard’s feather-trimmed mockneck. Complete the elevated ensemble with Loulou Studio’s tailored gray trousers, H&M’s leather jacket, and a pair of silver-embellished kitten heels from Cos.
