Sponsor Content Created With Free People

With winter just around the corner, my wardrobe prep is in full swing, and if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that classic, understated layers are my winter essentials. My style leans towards the minimal and timeless, focusing on pieces that layer well—think tailored outerwear, cosy knits and versatile separates that feel as chic as they are functional. Whilst knitwear is always at the front of my mind, I’m finding there’s so much more to lean on to build out a winter-ready wardrobe. The season of layering brings with it an abundance of beautiful textures and thoughtfully designed pieces that make getting dressed a real joy, and I’m embracing it all. So, when I turned to Free People to hunt down those key pieces for the season, I found just what I was looking for.

Known for mastering the balance of bohemian charm and practical design, Free People has become my go-to for winter staples that feel both elevated and effortless. A coat I picked up last year became my winter uniform; it kept me cosy and stylish from brunches to festive dinners without ever feeling overdone. And this year’s winter collection doesn’t disappoint either—it’s full of items that fit perfectly into my streamlined wardrobe whilst adding a bit of Free People’s signature warmth and character. Each piece feels carefully curated for real life; perfect for everything on my calendar this winter, from weekends away to casual get-togethers.

After discussing winter essentials with my fellow Who What Wear UK editors, it’s clear we’re all drawn to a few standout Free People pieces this season. From a double-breasted tweed coat for really cold days to elegant knitted dresses that make outfit planning a breeze, these are pieces we’re all coveting. I’ve spent a good chunk of my morning sifting through the latest offerings to pick out my top pieces so you don’t have to.

Below, you’ll find an edit brimming with cosy, versatile and seriously chic pieces to consider adding to your winter wardrobe.
