Weโre sticking to classy styling here.
As a little editorโs note before we dive in; once you find your favorite classic pieces, remember they donโt have to be the perfect fit. Just the right fit, regardless of your body type. Itโs about how you feel when wearing them. Thatโs the best way to create an elegant outfit. Because how you feel can set a different tone for your overall look. Your best features are in you, not your clothes. So if these chic outfit ideas bring a smile to wear with them, then itโs a good idea to use them to make a great look in your own personal style. Thatโs the best version of you that you can be.

10 CLASSY CHIC OUTFITS TO COPY IN WINTER 2023:
Black Wide Leg Trousers + Neutral Sweater + UGG Boots
Recreate the look:
In case you didnโt know, wide-leg pants are making a huge comeback this season. Everlane and ARKET are my go-to for them. This style of everyday wear and classy means you can look your best, even in your casual chic look. Use that brown belt youโve been wanting to show off. Throw on a sweater in the neutral color palette of your choice with some matching UGGs, and youโre ready for Sunday brunch with Kate Middleton.
Black Knee High Boots + Leggings + Overshirt
Recreate the look:
The knee-high boots are the star of the show here. The easiest way to create that casual look with a classic style is to pair chunky footwear with an oversized top. All the while keeping it tight in the middle. This system works for the entire look and can be done using different styles. Itโs all about balance.

They are a great way to create casual chic outfits that can quickly be styled up when needed. The high neck adds to the elegant style of the black-on-black look. Add a contrasting bag like this Ralph Lauren piece for a bit of color, but keep to typical neutrals.
Beige Oversized Blazer + Flared Leggings

Get an effortless chic look with an oversized blazer worn as a dress. The extra length means you can wear it with leggings, such as the flared leggings Iโm wearing here. You can get the high fashion look without the need for luxury brands. Can also work with a black blazer, but youโll need to grab a contrasting bag and maybe a belt to match. Definitely an option for your work wardrobe.

Brown Tweed Jackets + Wide Leg Trousers + Converse Sneakers
Recreate the look:
Hereโs an example of how to dress classy but casual. A tweed jacket is a great investment for your capsule wardrobe. You can have the Coco Chanel look without the price tag. Vintage shops can be a gold mine for finds like this. It brings a classy style to the mix, with the Converse keeping it casual.
Long Camel Coat + White Turtleneck Top + Black Skinny Jeans + Black Ankle Boots
Recreate the look:
You may not associate skinny jeans with a classy woman, but it can be done when you know how to style them. The long camel coat is the center of attention here (which can be substituted for a trench coat). This means your denim jeans can still make an appearance, but keep it tight with chunky boots on the bottom using the same system we talked about earlier. Simple jewelry is a welcome addition for those last-minute dinner dates.

Recreate the look:
Lightening up our wardrobes with some bright colors whilst still maintaining the neural classy look. Layers come into play this season. Balloon pants and blazer mean we are office ready, while the Converse and cream coat keep things chic. Pairing is key here. Light coat, light shoes. This really brings the outfit together. The winter season doesnโt have to be dark and dreary.
Cream Trousers + Cream Top + Cream Puffer Coat + Cream Boots
Recreate the look:
On that note, letโs turn up the brightness even more. Using shades to construct an outfit that works with your skin tone. Cream variations with just a touch of pastel can be used to create a top-bottom split. This gives the outfit structure without needing to rely on black. You could add pairs of trendy statement earrings as an accessory to pop, but keep it classy.

Black Turtleneck Sweater + Beige Wide Leg Trousers + Black Converse Sneakers
Recreate the look:
Similar to our chunky-tight-chunky method, we can do the same with colors. I.e. Having our top match our footwear, with a contrast in the middle. Here we have a black turtleneck paired with black Converse. It can be a cashmere sweater and black pumps, but the main thing is that they color match. For bonus points, you can match your bag with a high-rise middle. Also, remember to avoid fast fashion, so you can have high-quality fabrics that last.
Stripe Sweater + Oversized Shirt + Black Leggings + Cream Boots
Recreate the look:
Stripes are likely the only pattern youโll see in classy outfits. They stand out enough to be the focal point of an outfit, but not so much that they are difficult to style with. That makes them a great choice for any classic wardrobe. An oversized white blouse or white shirt works wonders as a skirt, so you can keep comfortable in your leggings.
