Old money style is at its best in winter. Chunky knits, wool coats, soft scarves and suede boots all fit the look. The trick is layering: a few warm pieces in calm colours that work together. Here are six outfits you can copy.
The winter rules
- Colours: navy, charcoal, camel, cream, brown and forest green.
- Fabrics: wool, cashmere, flannel, corduroy and suede.
- Layers: shirt or roll neck, knit, jacket or coat. Each layer a little longer than the one under it.
- Shoes: suede boots or loafers with wool socks.
1. Overcoat over a half zip
A long charcoal or camel overcoat over a half zip cable knit, grey flannel trousers and suede boots. Add a wool scarf. The easiest smart winter outfit.

2. The fisherman's cable knit
A thick cream or beige cable knit with grey wool trousers or dark jeans. Warm enough to wear without a coat on a dry, cold day.

3. Suede-look jacket and roll neck
A brown suede-look jacket over a cream roll neck, grey trousers and brown boots. Country style that also works in town.

4. Navy on navy
A navy field jacket, a cream knit and navy pleated trousers. Tone-on-tone navy looks sharp and hides the wear of a long day.

5. Cardigan for dinner
A cardigan over a knitted polo or shirt, with pinstripe or wool trousers. Softer than a blazer and perfect for dinners and holidays with family.

6. The weekend quarter zip
