As the temperatures drop, knitwear becomes the cornerstone of our cold weather wardrobes. However, creating effortlessly chic outfit with a knitted piece can often be a challenge. So we're taking inspiration from Angelina Jolie's 2023 layered look that perfects practical and elegant cold-weather styling.
The beauty of this outfit lies in its simplicity. Starting with a foundation she wears flattering wide leg trousers, a go-to staple that pairs beautifully with either the best wool jumper or cardigan. And opting for soft, neutral knitwear tones—like a heathered grey, makes this look cohesive and effortless, meaning you wear this combination anywhere.
She layered a cosy long grey jumper over a simple white t-shirt and some sleek wide leg black trousers. To finish the look, she chose black platform sandals and a small black purse, which instantly elevates this outfit into something you could wear to any occasion, from daytime outings to evening events. What we love about this look is that it's made of staples that almost every winter capsule wardrobe already has.
