Old money style is not about logos or the newest trend. It is about a few good pieces in calm colours that look right together, year after year. Here are six winter outfits, three for him and three for her, built from pieces you can wear all season.
The colours that make it work
Stay with warm neutrals: camel, cream, stone, brown, charcoal and navy. Pick three colours per outfit, one large (the coat), one medium (the knit or trousers) and one small (shoes, belt or bag). Keep your leathers in the same family: brown with brown, black with black.
For him
1. The camel coat over cream and grey
A camel overcoat, a cream roll-neck and grey trousers is the most classic winter outfit there is. Try the 70% wool double-faced double-breasted coat with the wool roll-neck sweater and suede shoes. Or take it complete: The Camel Coat look.
2. The quarter-zip and pleated trousers
For a weekend that still looks put together: a cable-knit quarter-zip, high-waist pleated trousers and suede derbies. See the marled cable knit quarter-zip, the high-waist Gurkha trousers and the suede derby shoes.
3. Charcoal from head to toe
Dark tones work best in one family: a charcoal coat, a grey knit and black Chelsea boots. The ready-made version is the Charcoal Wool look.
For her
4. The long beige coat with wide trousers
A long coat that falls past the knee makes every outfit look finished. Wear the long notch-lapel coat over a white knit with the 100% cotton wide-leg trousers and warm ankle boots.
5. The belted trench and a leather tote
The trench is the easiest coat in a woman's wardrobe. Belt the belted double-breasted trench, add jeans and carry the genuine leather tote.
6. The soft knit coat for slow days
For days at home or a long lunch, a knit you wear like a coat: the long round-neck knit cardigan coat over cream trousers, with the fur-lined winter ankle boots.
