Staying stylish in winter is simple—just match this jacket with these jeans and these shoes.
Perhaps it's because I am the eldest daughter, or I might attribute it to my Virgo moon, but I take a very structured approach to many areas of my life—especially when it comes to choosing outfits. I find that keeping a few simple styling formulas in mind makes my mornings much more efficient. That's why I'm always excited to expand my styling options by nailing down classic outfit combinations featuring wardrobe essentials. This leads me to Elsa Hosk’s easily replicable look. Instead of layering on heavy garments that she would soon shed, Hosk chose a lighter approach that fits well with these early winter days. She started with a vintage Chanel piece, a white jacket accentuated with elegant black piping that falls to a hip-grazing length and offers a fitted silhouette. The white layer adds a notable brightness to her ensemble, which feels refreshing against the backdrop of early winter.
To create a classic outfit, Hosk avoided both loose jeans and trendy flares in favor of an enduring straight-leg cut. This polished denim style skims the legs without clinging, giving it a more refined appearance than other styles trending on my social media feeds. For accessories, she embraced preppy classics with a pair of sleek loafers and added a modern twist with Chanel’s much-discussed 25 handbag, crafted from luxurious suede. Refined, thoughtful, yet not overly complicated, Elsa, I plan to return to this formula for the rest of the season. If you do too, continue reading to shop her outfit, along with my curated selection of white jackets, jeans, and loafers to recreate the look.
