Here's How We Styled This Editor-Approved Brand for Winter

If you've been keeping up with me on Who What Wear, you know I have a slight obsession with AG. Every season, the brand puts out new pieces that are just next-level good, and this winter is no exception. Who What Wear's editor in chief, Kat Collings, and senior fashion editor Eliza Huber were just as excited about this new drop of luxe pieces as I was, and I caught up with them to get a peek at how they're styling the collection. They gave me all the deets: the sweater that's a must, how they're wearing their favorite pieces, and so much more. Keep scrolling to see their looks.

Give me the low-down on how you styled this look.

All the fashion people I know are styling their knits in one specific way: with a white crewneck tee peeking out at the neckline or hem. The subtle layered element is a simple addition that packs major style points. Classic pieces like a knit turtleneck and dark jeans are the perfect canvases for accessories. Red is the most important color this season, so I thought I'd add a pop with cherry-colored patent ballet flats. A cream shoulder bag, cat-eye sunglasses, and my favorite headband from Paris were the finishing touches.

What's your favorite thing about these pieces?

I love how the jeans have little details that make them stand out. The raised seam that goes down the front of the legs creates an incredible lengthening effect. Normally, I'd wear heels to add some height to my 5'4" frame, but because the pants were that flattering, I felt just as confident in ballet flats. I always find turtlenecks to be quite elegant, especially in the classic charcoal color.

Knits plus body-skimming jeans are my winter uniform. It's a combination that never goes out of style. You can always update the classic look with the current denim style. These form-fitting flares have a really cool energy.

A lot of the fall 2023 runway looks that I loved the most featured interesting layering tactics, like layering a button-down shirt with a cashmere sweater and allowing the collar and hem of the shirt to peek out. Usually, I'd imagine this combo with trousers in a suit-like outfit, but I love how it looks with casual denim. There's a cool juxtaposition about it. I knew I needed to style it with something sleeker and sexier for even more balance, so I threw on fishnets, a black structured bag, and pointy kitten heels.

What's your favorite thing about these pieces?

These pieces epitomize luxury. The cashmere sweater is buttery soft as is the silk blouse. It's so lightweight and luxe in quality and feel. The jeans fit like a glove while still being super comfortable and oversize in an intentional way. Mostly, I love how they all look paired together—the outfit is casual yet classy, a combo I strive for this time of year.

How is this look perfect for winter?

Winter is the season for smart layering, especially if your goal is to avoid looking frumpy in a giant down coat. I'm more of a wool-coat person, so if I want to be out all day without freezing, I have to layer and layer and layer underneath, which is how I created this outfit. First, I have a thin, long-sleeved tee hidden underneath for extra warmth, and then I added a silk blouse and a cashmere sweater on top. This sweater is so cozy—I can't stop wearing it. A good, hearty pair of jeans can stand up against any cold temperatures (I'd know—I'm from Chicago), so this pair is perfect for chilly days, but to make them even warmer, I added a pair of fishnet tights. I know that doesn't sound like it would make a difference, but somehow it does. Plus, it adds a fun touch to the outfit.
