We have selected for you five items of clothing that are good winter wardrobe basics. Thanks to them, you can always feel at your best whatever the occasion. Provided you mix them well to concoct modern looks and break the sometimes too classic and timeless side of these basics! Follow the leader.
The right sweater
A cashmere knit is always a good option in a wardrobe. Easy to match, the cashmere sweater can be worn just as well with an elegant flared midi skirt as with palazzo trousers, for more comfort. Choose your sweater according to your desires: round neck or rather turtleneck, patterned or not... And always take it a size above yours to feel comfortable and comfortable every day. In terms of nuances, prefer neutral tones such as pearl gray, cream, pale pink, black or camel. The more adventurous will dare orange, yellow, winter bottle green, red or purple, which go wonderfully with salt and pepper hair.
The right coat
Essential, the bathrobe coat remains the sleeved piece of winter, ideal when the cold sets in. We choose it preferably beige, because it goes with everything. But navy, green, or black also work great. Its elegant collar like a bathrobe, its tone-on-tone belt and its wool blend material make it a timeless item in the wardrobe. Opt for a well-made and well-cut model, because buying a coat is an investment over time! Finally, we love its perfect cut that flatters all silhouettes and goes with all looks. So you can wear it on any occasion.

The right jacket
To finalize a nice winter look, you can also count on the blazer jacket which structures the silhouette. This model is a wardrobe essential. In winter, it can even slip under a coat in case of extreme cold. Do not hesitate to bet on details such as shoulder pads (if you are not too big) or golden buttons, which will bring style. Black or navy blue, it will mix with all your outfits. But you can also give yourself a little whimsy with green, purple (very fashionable this season) or even red, for a good-looking effect. The most rockers will go for the perfecto-style jacket in camel imitation suede calfskin, for a result that is both daring and modern. Straight and cropped jackets are also good options.
The right jeans
After 60, there is no question of stopping wearing jeans! Obviously, we ban all models that are too faded, holey or shapeless. Set your sights on 7/8 jeans: they are ultra-comfortable on the thighs and tightened on the calves. Thanks to its open (but not rolled) ankle, all you have to do is add a pair of low-heeled ankle boots to gain leg length. They are definitely the most feminine jeans, which can be worn at all ages with great elegance. Then add a nice little top (sweater, impeccable shirt, etc.) and you're done!
For the evening
You can count on the little black 3-hole dress, the essential for all wardrobes, summer and winter alike. Made essential by Coco Chanel, it crosses the decades without taking a wrinkle. For a stunning effect, choose the model with a slightly flared straight cut, which arrives just below the knee. You can wear it at any occasion. In winter, add a pair of opaque or woolen tights and stylish boots. You will be ultra-chic in this dress which will camouflage any curves around the hips and thighs. Add a bathrobe coat and you'll have it all!
