Capsule wardrobe: 5 timeless pieces for the Brazilian winter
How to put together elegant and versatile looks with staple items for cold days
-
Classic turtleneck knit
Combination: Wear under a structured coat or pair with tailored trousers and dark-wash jeans.
Style tip: The turtleneck helps frame the face and adds an instant touch of sophistication to the look, in addition to protecting against the wind.
-
Soft-touch long cardigan
Combination: Works very well over basic t-shirts or long-sleeved blouses in neutral tones, accompanied by straight-leg pants or a skirt.
Style tip: Wear the piece open to create vertical lines that elongate the silhouette, or add a thin belt to cinch the waist.
-
Structured tailored trousers
Combination: Pairs perfectly with button-down shirts, light knits, and low-heeled shoes, flats, or casual sneakers.
Style tip: Neutral colors, such as black, navy blue, or gray, make it easier to coordinate with other colors in your closet.
-
Full-bodied midi skirt
Combination: Looks excellent with ankle or mid-calf boots and body-fitting turtlenecks.
Style tip: Models in slightly heavier fabrics ensure thermal comfort and maintain the elegant structure of the piece while walking.
-
Classic trench coat
Combination: The ideal third piece to layer over any combination, from basic jeans to winter dresses with tights.
Style tip: Shades like beige, khaki, military green, or black are timeless and easy to match, besides being great for windy or drizzly days.
