I've Studied Victoria Beckham's Winter Capsule Wardrobe—These 5 Pieces Are It
This autumn has been a lucky season for all Victoria Beckham fans. With the release earlier this month of four-part docuseries Beckham, which chronicles the lives of Victoria and David Beckham, as well as her highly acclaimed runway show in Paris during Fashion Month in September, we've had a full helping of Beckham sightings and fresh fashion inspiration. Since her Posh-Spice days of the '90s, Beckham has held a special place in my heart for her considered, chic and on-brand personal style that leans on classic silhouettes as well as new and trending pieces. As a fashion writer, I spend a good amount of time analysing the nuances of celebrity style, and as an unabashed Beckham fan, I am delighted to share with you my learnings of how she keeps her winter outfits looking both timeless and bang on trend.
Read on to discover Beckham's winter-wardrobe staples, as well as how she likes to style them.
1. TALKING-POINT TIGHTS
Style Notes: Well acquainted with the power of subtle accessories, Beckham was spotted last week wearing a surprising pair of fishnet tights with her long black dress. Soon afterwards (pictured above), she opted for a minidress pairing in a chic evening look I'll be copying this winter.
Shop Statement Tights:
Printed tights add a playful element to any party look.
Style with an all-black outfit like Beckham, or inject some colour with a red knit.
These shimmery fishnet tights were practically made for festive socialising.
Printed tights are re-emerging as the go-to accessory this party season.
2. A WHITE SUIT
Style Notes: Nothing makes getting dressed for event season easier than an excellent suit. In a chic, longline cut, this bright white shade comes to life. Style with black accessories for an impossibly chic outfit that will look like it came straight from Beckham's wardrobe.
Shop White Suiting:
Wear with the matching blazer or style with your favourite navy knit.
White suiting is the unexpected winter trend I'll come back to every year.
These relaxed trousers have a stunning drape.
3. FULL-COVERAGE DRESSES
Style Notes: I'm buying into the draped-dress trend this season for its flattering and wearable qualities. Opt for a long-sleeved version just like Beckham and there's no need to pack away your dresses when it gets chillier.
Shop Full-Coverage Dresses:
In my opinion, this is the perfect event-season dress.
A rib-knit dress will keep you cosy without the bulk of normal wool.
4. WIDE-LEG TROUSERS
Style Notes: Add a dramatic element to a simple look by forgoing jeans for a pair of anti-trend flared trousers. They can be styled up or down with sky-high heels or worn casually with trainers—a leather jacket and Hermès bag (or affordable equivalent) will work either way.
Shop Wide-Leg Trousers:
This season, I'm shopping all of my denim in dark denim and black washes.
5. A TRUSTY BLACK DRESS
Style Notes: If you've studied Beckham's style as I have, you'll know her best outfits often feature a sleek black dress. And as we head into winter I'm following suit, opting for elegant black dresses all season long.
Shop Black Dresses:
Asymmetric shoulders add a point of difference to an otherwise plain dress.
