Usually, I spend the winter months in black and chocolate brown—a palette that's elegant, timeless, and well within my comfort zone. However, for 2026, I’m on the hunt for easy winter outfits that feel just that little bit fresher. Now, as a self-proclaimed minimalist, this will never include bold hues or out-there prints; however, I’ve recently spotted a particular trending outfit colour that’s pared-back, neutral, and fresh for the new year and season. Enter the white winter outfit.
I must admit a head-to-toe white outfit feels daunting to a basic dresser like myself. The hue can feel very stark and out-there, not to mention that the colour comes with the risk of spillages on my way to and from the city centre. However, its elegance is undeniable, with the colour adding an instant sense of polish to your outfits. Plus, this monochrome look is one that we don’t usually see throughout the colder months, making it guaranteed to earn you loads of compliments. And the best part is that this frosty colour can be broken up and paired with accents of black, brown, and beige to make you feel just that little bit more comfortable.
Below, I've rounded up some seriously chic white winter outfits to help you tackle the trend in style. My main tip? Play around with textures, detailing and accessories to keep your outfits from looking too intimidating or clinical.
5 Elegant White Winter Outfits to Copy in Winter 2026
1. Blazer + Funnel-Neck Knit + Trousers
Style Notes: If you’re feeling brave, a head-to-toe white outfit is sure to look polished and elegant, as well as earn you many a compliment. Monochrome outfits will never fail to look put together, and I’m very into the relaxed blazer paired with the more refined funnel-neck knit and trousers.
Shop the Look:
You'll reach for this throughout the warmer months as well.
There are so many ways to style this neutral knit.
Such a nice shape.
This is high up on my luxury wishlist.
2. Turtleneck + Midi Skirt
Style Notes: If all-white feels too out-there, you can utilise leather accessories to break up your lighter separates, and I love how Sylvie has mixed white, black, and chocolate brown in the outfit above. It’s proof that you can always rely on the French fashion set for elegant winter outfit inspo.
Shop the Look:
This will act as the basis for so many of your cold-weather outfits.
Every wardrobe needs a versatile belt.
The lace-trim hemline is so sweet.
Square-toe boots bring a touch of refinement to an outfit.
3. Wool Coat + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: It wouldn’t be a winter outfit round-up without featuring a wool coat, and there’s something about this wardrobe staple in a white hue that feels inherently chic, no matter what you pair it with. Follow the ‘2x2’ outfit formula to make it feel a bit more wearable.
Shop the Look:
This sells out every winter.
100% cashmere for under £100? Straight into my basket.
Great for in or out of the office.
The perfect everyday heel height.
Dreamy.
4. Jumper + Track Pants
Style Notes: When winter comes around, comfort and warmth are the main priorities, but this doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. Adidas’ track pants have had a resurgence over the last few years, and they look especially chic in the white iteration shown above. Paired with a tonal jumper and black trainers, this is an outfit that I’d wear both in or out of the office.
Shop the Look:
This looks so cosy.
I already own these in black, but the white is calling to me as well.
Mexico 66 trainers are well-loved by editors and fashion influencers alike.
5. Faux -Fur Jacket + Jeans
Style Notes: I’ve been very into the faux-fur look this season, but I’ve yet to invest in a coat or jacket. Lovisa’s outfit above is tempting me to buy into a white iteration for winter 2026. It looks especially cool with jeans, but can also be worn with white midi skirts, satin trousers or dresses as well.
Shop the Look:
I'm obsessed.
Cable knits will never go out of style.
Agolde jeans come editor-approved.
For those really chilly days.
I'm very into the subtle logos on the sides of these.
'90s chic.
