6 Winter Outfits That Are Guaranteed to Make You Look Rich

Here at Who What Wear, we love to hunt down those special, expensive-looking pieces that no one would guess are actually from the high street. And we're pretty good at it, if we do say so ourselves. Our editors are highly skilled at finding these noteworthy gems, and spend plenty of time searching the new-in pages of some of our favourite brands to bring you the very best edit of said pieces. 

When it comes to spotting a high-street piece that looks and feels premium, there are a few pointers we swear by. Yes, the fabric composition is important: Natural fibres like wool and cotton will always stand the test of time, look more polished and are better for the planet when they are responsibly sourced and processed. But taking care of your clothes makes all the difference as well. We firmly believe a lint roller, decent hangers and a sewing kit should all be making an appearance in your wardrobe. Finally, there's fit. There's something about an oversized silhouette that can instantly make you look effortlessly put-together—blame it on the Olsens.

Head-to-toe black is always a winner when you're after a chic, expensive-looking 'fit. 

But what about inspiration on how to style these affordable yet expensive-looking hits? That's where I, and a mass of the team's favourite influencers, come in. I've rounded up six expensive-looking winter outfits that I've spotted on IG recently, and provided you with everything you need to recreate the look without breaking the bank. In fact, I'm fairly sure you'll already own the majority of these items.

Whether you are looking for easy weekend dressing ideas or what to wear on a date, I've got you covered. Scroll on for my six, chic winter outfits that you'll be tempted to recreate for yourself this season. You can thank me later.

1. WOOL COAT + BLACK KNITTED DRESS + BIRKENSTOCKS

Style Notes: Pay attention to the fabrication of your coats. I always choose natural fibres like wool, cotton and silk for a more elevated look. A simple knitted dress will serve you well all year long, while Birkenstocks are just the coolest of footwear choices.

2. OVERSIZED JUMPER + BLUE JEANS + MINI BAG

Style Notes: When it comes to elevated denim, step away from rips and distressed detail and try a classic blue, relaxed fit instead. An oversized grey jumper and chic mini bags ties the whole look together.

3. ROLL NECK JUMPER + BLACK DENIM + COAT + MULES

Style Notes: Black never fails to look expensive, especially if worn head-to-toe. Swap out the heels for ankle boots to nail this look all year round.

4. BRETON STRIPES + JEANS + BALLET PUMPS 

Style Notes: So simple but so chic, don't under estimate the power of classic elevated basics like a breton stripe shirt and skinny denim.

5. OVERSIZED TAILORED BLAZER + WIDE LEG TROUSERS + STILETTOS

Style Notes: Taking a size up often makes clothes look more expensive, especially when it comes to tailoring. If you're quite not sold on the boxy silhouette cinch, then your blazer in with a belt. 

Shop The Look:

6. CREAM COAT + PUDDLE PANTS + ANKLE BOOTS

Style Notes: Head-to-toe neutrals will never let you down in the style stakes. Note how even Babba's bag and shoes work tonally with her outfit. I'm obsessed!
