Every year when winter rolls around, a style conundrum rears its ugly head. Warmth is key for battling the bitter cold, but naturally, you don't want your outfit impact to be dulled by a sea of layers.

Rather, if you're going for calculated depth, think about which pieces can be easily styled together – like a chunky sweater vest and timeless chain necklace over a puff-sleeve blouse.

Functionality is important, but you needn't compromise on style. Plenty of the coats we're currently lusting after are packed with cosy down or crafted from sumptuous faux fur to combat the glacial temperatures.

Likewise, a super easy way of retaining heat is by incorporating a standout accessory. Knitted hoods are having a moment among the street style set, otherwise it may be time to expand your trusty scarf collection with one of this season's plushest offerings. And that's a wrap.

Hello! Fashion shares the winter outfits we're wearing on repeat this season:

Knitted Hood + Baggy Jeans

Style advice

Once deemed eccentric, the balaclava has entered the mainstream, and we're totally here for it. Toast, Cos and Arket are all getting in on the action – team yours with a relaxed-fit jacket and baggy jeans for maximum casual cool.

Fur Coat + Thigh-high Boots

Style advice

The faux fur coat is a winter classic, but accent colours offer neutral colourways lift and energy. Style yours open over thigh-high boots for a sense of drama.

Statement Coat + Platforms

Woman wearing silver large earrings, a black and white checkered tweed pattern with white oversized fluffy sheep collar and sleeves buttoned long coat — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

A distinctive piece of outerwear is a super easy way to make an impact either if what lies beneath is slightly lacking, or if you're erring on the side of caution for when you leave the party. Plus, the tights-platforms combo allows you to get some extra wear out of your open-toe heels.

Vibrant Trench + Argyle Knit

Woman wearing red trench coat with argyle sweater tied around neck — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

Lean into winter brights by styling a knitted co-ord with a classic coat style in a singular, stand-out hue. A preppy favourite, wearing a statement sweater around the neck is an interesting way to inject some colour around the face in place of a scarf.

Fluffy Jacket + Monogram Jeans

Woman wearing blue earrings, a pale purple large fluffy fur jacket and jeans — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

Winter lends itself to chic texture, and this sumptuous lilac jacket totally fits the bill. Dial it down for daytime with baggy jeans – this monogram pair by Chanel feels super cute.

Beret + Belted Poncho

Woman wearing white wool felt beret hat from Last, green sunglasses, a white ribbed wool turtleneck pullover with fringing — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

Ponchos and capes can be tricky to style – we love the belted look for silhouette emphasis, especially if you have a chunky knitted layer in the mix. And the beret? Not a want, but a need.

Cropped Blazer + Metallic Trousers

Woman wearing gold pants, Coperni bag, black cropped blazer, top, sunglasses, ankle boots — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

Blazers in cropped lengths were all over the SS24 runways, from Sergio Hudson to Christian Siriano, but there's no reason why you can't get ahead of the game. Metallic trousers – silver in particular – are on the rise, but we could totally be persuaded by a flash of gold.

Bodysuit + Corset + Bomber Jacket

Woman wearing black and orange large sunglasses, gold earrings, a white high halter-neck tank-top body, a black puffer jacket, blue and yellow faded denim large pants — Milan Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

A bona fide display of cool-girl layering. Wanting to get some extra daytime wear of your bodysuit? Consider layering it over a corset and topping things off with a bomber for added interest.

Quilted Gilet + Slouchy Sweatshirt

Woman wearing pale yellow sunglasses, a beige oversized sweater, a beige quilted pattern sleeveless / oversized puffer jacket, a beige matte leather handbag, blue denim wide legs pants, blue suede platform soles — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

The finance bros have staked a pretty strong claim for the gilet, but why should they get all the fun? Mulberry and Anine Bing are both offering some stylish quilted versions right now that would layer easily over an oversized sweatshirt.

Alternative Trench + Striking Scarf

Woman wearing denim jacket, jeans, Acne scarf with multi colors, brown bag — Copenhagen Fashion Week AW23

Style advice

Switch things up the trench department and trade in classic camel for a more off-beat design. This pinstripe version feels simultaneously timeless and fresh , especially when teamed alongside a vibrant, thicker-striped scarf.
