New clothes in the wardrobe surely take a bit to get a hang of, but versatile items that stay, make for the best fashion investments. Cozy up to StyleCracker’s list of winter essentials for not just this season but also the year to come!
THE SLEEVELESS OVERCOAT
Skinny or curvy, this is one cover-up that hides all and flatters all. Also it adds inches to your height, shape to your waist and definition to your hips. Plus it’s a perfect evening look over an LBD and a trust-worthy throw over ripped jeans for the day. Colours we love? Red, black and sable.

BOOTS
Swapping strappy sandals for boots may be a no-brainer but the key is to discover which boots suit your body and leg shape the most. Ankle boots work great for shorter legs and knee-highs work well for long legs. Ditch boring black and go for colours like marsala, charcoal and tan.

CULOTTES
They’re an elegant alternative to skinny jeans and are infintely more comfortable. Layered up with a trench they are great for chilly evenings and once temperatures start soaring again, you can swap the layering for a stylish tank top.

TURTLE-NECK CARDIGAN
The ’90s are back and how! The ever-classic and sexy turtle-neck cardigan is a great way to stay warm and channel Parisienne-chic. It enhances your neck to look longer and can form that all-crucial base layer for a trendy new jacket. Our pick of the season? The slouchy turtle-neck cardigan!

SWEATER DRESS
The key to finding the right sweater dress is all about the knit. Go for a fine cashmere if you are planning on showing off your perfectly-toned gym bod. But for us, lesser mortals who want to conceal- go for thicker cable knits. Cinch with a wide belt for added style.
