6 Winter Outfits That Are Guaranteed to Make You Look Rich


If there’s one thing I’ve always been drawn to, it’s a designer wardrobe. From the classic silhouettes of Saint Laurent blazers to Max Mara’s buttery-soft camel coats from Max Mara, I admit I have a soft spot for luxury fashion.

But let’s face it: whilst I might have an appetite for a wardrobe that looks straight out of a Paris showroom, my budget doesn’t always stretch that far. Thankfully, having an eye for the finer things doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. In fact, curating an expensive-looking wardrobe is as much about knowing where to look as it is knowing what to buy. These days, high-street brands are dialled into the quiet-luxury trend, creating pieces that not only look but also feel incredibly high-end.

There’s something especially satisfying about finding a piece that has all the hallmarks of designer but at a fraction of the price. A few favourites in my wardrobe (and amongst the Who What Wear UK team) include structured blazers from Mango, elegant loafers from Arket, and COS knits that look triple the price. The high-street has seriously upped its game, offering luxurious fabrics, thoughtful cuts and timeless designs that let us channel that impossibly chic aesthetic. And believe me—if it’s good enough to make it into the wardrobes of our editors, it’s worth a look.

What makes these pieces work isn’t just how they look but how they feel and fit. A rich-looking outfit is more than just label-driven; it’s about finding pieces with elegance and sophistication. Neutral tones, tailored silhouettes, quality fabrics and subtle, refined details are key elements to create a luxe vibe. Trust me: I’ve worked with many stylists over my years as a fashion editor, and they’d all agree. Most importantly though, when you feel at ease in what you’re wearing, that confidence naturally shines through and elevates your look.
