With each new season comes a chance to give my wardrobe a little refresh, but let’s be honest: most of us aren’t here for an endless rotation of trends. Over the years, I’ve crafted a capsule wardrobe that relies on timeless staples. These pieces work hard year-round, but when winter rolls around, I love to add just a few select items that elevate the essentials I already own. For me, it’s all about finding those refined, quietly luxurious pieces that seamlessly update my look without overpowering it. And truly, only a handful of high-street brands consistently deliver on this vision, with Marks and Spencer sitting firmly at the top of my list. The brand’s winter collection is especially enticing this year—think effortless layers, rich textures and classic silhouettes that look and feel far more premium than their price tags suggest.

M&S has been my go-to for winter classics that keep me both cosy and chic for a few years now. There’s something about the brand’s approach to timeless design that just gets it right; every piece is well-made, comfortable and easy to style. I have a cashmere crew-neck jumper from last season that’s seen me through countless dinners, events and off-duty weekends, and it still looks as impeccable as the day I bought it. And it’s not just about style, it’s the way these pieces fit into a busy lifestyle without feeling like high-maintenance fashion. The versatility and practicality of M&S pieces make them ideal for my winter wardrobe, especially as my calendar fills up with occasions where looking put-together is a must.

This season, I’m focusing on adding minimalist pieces that feel quietly expensive—the kind of items that whisper elegance rather than shout it. Think crisp tailoring, rich neutral hues and fabrics that elevate an outfit without much accessorising. Two of my standout picks are the Double Breasted Short Peacoat with Wool (£65), which is perfect for transitioning from casual lunches to evening events with ease, and the Cable Knit Roll Neck Jumper (£35) for the warmth and texture I crave in the colder months.
After spending a good few hours scouring the M&S website, below, I’ve rounded up my favourite winter pieces that exude that high-end feel.
