It’s time for a winter wardrobe reset, possibly my favorite shopping spree of the year (after Christmas, of course).
This season, all your favorite supermarkets (F&F Tesco, Tu at Sainsburys, Nutmeg at Morrisons and George at Asda) have some irresistible items that will sweep you off your feet.
In fact, I’m so impressed that I’ve selected the essential key pieces that will refresh your look, whatever the occasion. From designer coats and jackets to party-perfect pieces, check out our edit of the best luxe, purse-friendly ensembles. With prices starting from just £12, see you at the checkout!
Red hot coordinator
Jacket, £35 and skirt, £19.50, F&F at Tesco; tights, £34, heiststudios.com
Prissy pretty outfits aren’t going anywhere fast. Because? Because they are versatile, very easy to use and are your secret style weapon to take you from the office to a night out.
Make a statement in this bold Chanel-inspired F&F red bouclé jacket (£35) and skirt (19.50). Wear it with matching red tights for extra fashionable recognition. If that seems a little extravagant, simply pair the jacket with pants or a polo collar with the skirt.
Cozy and elegant
Jumper, £25 and jeans, £22.50, F&F at Tesco; bag, £19, Tu at Sainsbury’s
Fair Isle sweaters are a safe purchase if you’re looking for contemporary knitwear with a traditional touch.
This F&F design (£25) looks much more expensive than it is, with its rich chocolate hue, cream motif and super loose neckline. Wear it with the brand’s jeans (22.50) and a Sainsbury’s tote bag (£19), then you’ll be ticking all the boxes for a cool, casual weekend away when the temperature starts to plummet.
The luxury look
Blazer, £28, dress, £30, boots, £38 and bag, £18, Your at Sainsbury’s
A flattering evening dress for €30? Yes please! This short-sleeved green satin shift dress from Tu has party-chic written all over it. And for a sense of extra stealth wealth, the brand’s black faux leather blazer (£28), paired with a rich chocolate-toned clutch (£18) and £38 boots are hard to beat.
perfect combination
Cardigan, £20, Nutmeg at Morrisons; skirt, £29.50, F+F at Tesco; boots, £30, Tu at Sainsbury’s
As seen on the runways of Erdem and Richard Quinn, sequins can be worn year-round, but this time of year a party-ready sparkly skirt is a safe bet.
This side-split F&F creation (£29.50) will sell out, so don’t say we won’t let you know if you don’t buy it in time. When it comes to style, remember that if you’re showing a little leg, keep it demure on top with this gorgeous cardigan (£20), encrusted with pearls and delicate pearl buttons.
metallic gold
Shirt, £14, George at Asda; Brisket, £20, Nutmeg at Morrisons
Morrisons isn’t the first store that springs to mind when you think ‘trend’, but they’ve really upped their game this season, and this metallic gold skirt (£20) is a steal.
There are several ways to style a metallic skirt: wear it with a crisp shirt for the office, like this classic striped one from George at Asda from £14, throw on a slim, luxe knit for evening or a satin or sequin top to game when we’re hitting the dance floor.
Cool cover-up
Coat, £45 and scarf, £12, George at Asda; boots, £40, F&F at Tesco
Let me introduce you to your new coat! This winter you want a wrap style with a longer, flattering silhouette.
We love this maxi number from George at Asda (£45). Style Tip: Go one size up for an oversized Saint Laurent-style fit. The Houndstooth Tassel Scarf, a bargain at £12, adds a touch of elegance while keeping you cozy and warm, as do the F&F Boots (£40).
