THE CAMILLA WINTER EDIT OF EXQUISITE COATS AND CLEVER STYLING
As winter envelops us in its chilly embrace, our thoughts naturally turn to cozy knits and snuggly blankets, but before you run for the safety of your and favorite Nanna-blanket and formless grey fleece combo, take a moment to consider the positives: cooler weather means more opportunities to showcase your style, highlight your most beloved wardrobe investments and embrace new ways to wear your most cherished pieces.
Whether you wrap yourself in a statement coat that exudes bespoke beauty or add a touch of opulence with delicate tiers of velvet and silk twill, there’s never been a better time to master the art of luxurious layering. Playful layering goes beyond warmth. Even the simple addition of knitwear in luxuriously tactile fabrics can add an exquisite harmony to your symphony of style.
One of the greatest joys in the longevity of CAMILLA keepsakes is exploring fresh ways to transform your summer pieces into winter treasures through skilful layering. Here, we unveil the secrets to curating a winter wardrobe that expresses your unique sense of fashionable flair.
Coats: A Winter Style Statement
At CAMILLA, a coat is not merely outerwear —it's a canvas for self-expression. This season, express yourself with coats that feature captivating details of feathers and faux fur in unexpected silhouettes. Imagine a resplendent oversized faux fur coat in a bold leopard, or a vibrant hue. A sleek leather trench adorned with shimmering embellishments, or a lavish gilet with faux fur lined collar and cuffs make for deliciously dramatic winter moments. For those seeking a touch of romance, sumptuously tailored wool and silk coats in beautifully bespoke prints adorned with intricate crystals are the perfect plus one. The new season offers a lavish array of covetable coats designed to become the crowning jewels in your winter edit.
The Art of Layering
Layering has always been the cheeky secret to successful winter styling. Begin with delicate base layers, like a jersey turtleneck that sits like a sumptuous second skin, creating a warm and cozy foundation. Let your imagination ignite in a rhapsody of layered prints, textures, lengths, and colors with every addition to your cooler weather canvas. A chunky knit sweater embellished with golden chains or encrusted in crystals carves a sculptural silhouette when worn over a printed palazzo pant. Be playful with proportions and drape a longlined silk layer over a matching mini dress with boots. Or pair a cropped silk bomber with a sleek bias midi dress for captivatingly clean lines. With an endless horizon of lengths and layers, a winter wonderland of limitless possibilities and perfect pairings awaits.
Summer Treasures Transformed for Winter
Your cherished summer pieces need not be hidden away as a new season unfolds. With a sprinkling of layering magic, they can shine bright even in the depths of winter. Take a slip dress and transform it into a winter-worthy star by layering a delicate turtleneck underneath the strappy silhouette. A lightweight wool or cashmere sweater over a flowy maxi dress breathes new life into the skirt’s luscious lengths. A mini dress transforms into a tunic with matching printed pants or leggings to create clever coverage in cooler climates. Reimagine a button through maxi dress open as a luxurious outerwear piece with a cami and slim fit ponti pant to update your winter style. Let your fashion ingenuity flourish to create unexpected combinations that showcase your impeccable eye.
Clever Curation of Your Winter Treasures
Coveting the right pieces for your winter wardrobe is an art form in itself. Seek out versatile silhouettes that effortlessly elevate. Invest in a beautifully tailored wool coat, a lavishly embellished knit sweater and a pair of exquisite leather boots. These foundation pieces will become the breathtakingly bold building blocks of your winter wardrobe; the palette that will inspire you to create myriad looks. And let’s not overlook the impact of accessories. A luxurious silk scarf draped over a soft trench or a chic jacquard beanie brings an added layer of warmth and adds that final touch of finesse to your winter style statement.
If you master the fine art of luxurious layering, you’ll rarely find yourself in an ‘I have nothing to wear’ moment. As winter unfolds, compose a symphony of layered textures, prints and proportions. Repurpose your beloved summer pieces and explore clever new ways to wear. Carefully curate your wardrobe with eternal essentials and embellish your ensembles with artful accessories. With just a few savvy investments and clever seasonal adjustments, you’ll be the proud owner of a winter wardrobe that expresses your true essence. (And your favorite Nanna-blanket and formless grey fleece combo can return to its hallowed status as a conscious, joyful indulgence.)
