Winter dressing: The pieces defining the season’s new mood

Onori the Label

Soft structure

This is Onori the Label at its most refined. A sheer, softly structured blouse with volume through the sleeves meets clean tailoring for a look that feels polished yet easy. The neutral palette keeps it timeless, while thoughtful details, from the delicate collar to the subtle embellishment, add quiet interest. It’s designed to move seamlessly through a wardrobe. Tuck it into tailored trousers for work, pair it with a fluid skirt for evenings, or layer it under a blazer when things turn sharper. Each piece in this capsule works harder than it looks. Calm, versatile, and built for real dressing.Cult Gaia: Party done right

This Cult Gaia style is for the kind of party where you want to stand out without shouting. The strapless burgundy gown skims the body, then moves beautifully from the knee down, giving you drama every time you walk. The texture does the heavy lifting, so styling stays simple. Slick hair, bare shoulders, a strong lip, and minimal jewellery. Add heels that disappear under the hem. In a room full of sequins and sparkle, this feels grown-up and confident. It photographs beautifully, moves even better, and instantly lifts the mood of the evening.

Coach: Retro sparkle revival

This look is quietly confident, and the bag knows it. Worn crossbody against an argyle cardigan and tailored mini, the Coach Shoulder Bag 26 steps forward as the clear hero. Crafted in buttery glovetanned leather, it’s dressed up with vintage-inspired floral appliqué and crystals that catch the light without shouting. The structured shape keeps things polished. The embellishment adds just enough drama. It’s festive without feeling fussy, elegant without trying too hard. The kind of bag that lifts a daytime outfit and still feels right once the lights go low. A winter piece you’ll keep reaching for.

Farm Rio: Easy drama

This Farm Rio capsule dress is all about effortless impact. The silhouette is relaxed and fluid, with slim straps and a soft drape that skims the body without clinging. What lifts it is the print. Rich, intricate, and warm, it brings depth to an otherwise simple shape. It’s the kind of piece you slip into and instantly feel pulled together. Wear it with flat sandals for long dinners that turn into late nights, or add heels and a small bag for something more elevated. Minimal styling works best here. Let the colour and pattern do the talking.

Calm, versatile, and built for real dressing.

Level Shoes: Dressed with intention

This look captures the mood of Level Shoes’ Holiday ’25 campaign perfectly. Thoughtful, confident, and unapologetically personal. A relaxed brown suit is styled with ease, softened by fluid tailoring and sharpened with a bold red tie that does all the talking. Polished leather shoes ground the outfit, proving that the right footwear quietly defines the entire look. It’s about dressing for the moment you’re in, whether that’s an intimate dinner, a late-night gathering, or something in between. Every piece feels chosen, not thrown together. A reminder that festive dressing works best when it reflects who you are, not who you’re trying to impress.

Taller Marmo: Spotlight ready

This look captures Taller Marmo’s love affair with glamour at full volume. A deep plum gown skims the body before unfurling into feathered drama, balancing softness with unmistakable presence. The silhouette is clean and fluid, letting texture do the talking. Feathers frame the movement, catching light with every step. Wear it with minimal heels and pared-back jewellery so the colour and detailing stay centre stage. It’s made for evenings that call for confidence and theatre, when dressing up feels like a performance in itself. Bold, nostalgic, and unapologetically expressive, this is modern diva dressing done with precision and polish.

Noon By Noor: Sharpen your evening

This fall winter look from Noon By Noor leans into structure with confidence. A sharply cut jacket anchors the silhouette, while the textured skirt adds depth and movement, keeping things from feeling severe. The palette stays dark and restrained, letting fabric and form take the lead. It’s the kind of outfit that works best when styled clean. Bare legs or sheer tights, pointed heels, minimal jewellery. Nothing extra needed. Ideal for evenings that call for polish without softness, this is tailoring with presence. Considered, architectural, and unmistakably modern, it reflects the brand’s ability to balance precision with quiet drama.

1309: Quiet impact

This look captures 1309’s strength in restraint. The black halter-neck gown is clean and fluid through the body, then softens at the hem with delicate lace that adds texture without overwhelming the silhouette. It’s the kind of dress that feels calm, confident, and considered. Easy to wear, easy to style. Keep accessories minimal and let the shape do the work, or add a statement earring for evening plans that lean elegant rather than loud. From gallery openings to intimate dinners, it moves beautifully and wears even better. Subtle, polished, and quietly powerful, exactly what modern dressing should feel like.

Nadine Merabi: Feathered moment

This dress is definitely for an entrance. The LuLu midi keeps things clean and fitted through the body, then finishes with a soft feathered hem that adds movement and personality. Subtle embellishment catches the light without overwhelming the look. Style it simply with sleek hair, bare skin makeup, and delicate heels so the texture stays front and centre. It works beautifully for festive evenings, celebratory dinners, and anything that calls for polish with a sense of fun. Available at Endless, it’s a statement you can enjoy, return, or pass on.

MCM: Destination holiday

MCM’s Holiday Express lands somewhere between travel fantasy and real-world dressing, and this look nails that balance. A relaxed, dark-toned outfit keeps things understated, letting the monogrammed travel bag take centre stage. Slung with ease, it feels ready for movement, not just display. The outer layer is casual, the silhouette unfussy, and the styling intentional without feeling styled. Set against an icy, otherworldly backdrop, the look leans into MCM’s From Munich to Mars spirit. It’s about dressing for the journey as much as the destination. Practical, directional, and quietly luxurious, with exploration stitched into every detail.
