7 Elevated Outfits to Recreate in February 2026:
Congratulations! You’ve survived the longest (and arguably dreariest) month of the year. Now that we’ve made it to February and will soon be entering spring(!), figuring out what to wear can feel tricky, and after starting the year with a carefully curated capsule wardrobe, the ever-changing elements have left me fighting the winter blues. At this time of year, outfit inspiration can be lacking, and everything can feel a touch samey. But don’t worry: that’s what I’m here for.
Those of us who live in the UK are likely to have a few more weeks of fur coats and fleece-lined thermals ahead, but the end is in sight. Having invested in some up-to-date denim silhouettes (think stovepipe and bootcut jeans) and dusted off my spring midi skirts, I’ve decided to use the new month as a reset of sorts, injecting some optimism into my looks.
As someone who desperately needs that extra 10 minutes of shut-eye before embarking on their commute, the inspiration I was searching for needed to be chic, but at its core, pretty low-lift. Having searched through my favourite fashion people’s social media feeds, I stumbled across a treasure trove of enviable outfit inspiration. From olive tights used to create visual interest to statement fur jackets, they keenly reminded me of just how fun dressing can be.
So, if you, too, have fallen into a rut, look no further. I’ve compiled seven easy outfits aimed at taking the guesswork out of dressing for February 2026. Happy browsing!
7 Elevated Outfits to Recreate in February 2026:
1. Leather Jacket + Jeans + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: Let’s keep it simple, shall we? Once the weather improves, dressing for February is all about layers. Not only will you keep warm during unpredictable temperatures, but when paired with cord jeans and structured leather for some edge, you can create an unfussy, low-lift look that feels fashionable. Double points if you finish with a larger-than-life pendant necklace.
Shop the Look:
Nour Hammour
Doran Paneled Textured-Leather Jacket
The grained leather! The soft, structured fit! This is a timeless leather bomber if I’ve ever seen one.
You can never go wrong with a classic white tee.
&Daughter
Sligo Wool Sweater
Handcrafted in the Scottish highlands, this slightly shrunken wool V-neck is one you’ll pull out year after year.
SUPERDRY
Mid Rise Baggy Jumbo Cord Pants
Cord trousers are set to be everywhere this spring.
Maison Margiela
Tabi Split-Toe Leather Ballet Flats
After all these years, Maison Margiela Tabis are still at the very top of my shoe wish list.
Reiss
Large Resin Pendant Necklace
Big pendant necklaces show no signs of slowing in popularity any time soon.
2. Faux-Fur Coat + Barrel-Leg Jeans + Boots
Style Notes: ICYMI, faux-fur coats are everywhere right now. A fail-safe way to make a statement (even with the most pared-back ‘fit), a well-insulated fur will keep winter’s icy chill at bay. Low-slung, barrel-leg jeans and pointed-toe boots will look more polished with these slouchy, supersized coats, even on winter’s greyest days.
Shop the Look:
NOUR HAMMOUR
Elsa Belted Shearling Jacket
Find me a more elegant faux-fur jacket—I dare you!
I own so many pairs of COS jeans.
Massimo Dutti
Leather High Heel Ankle Boots
With a small, on-trend curved heel, you’ll be able to walk comfortably (and stylishly) in these slouchy ankle boots.
Saint Laurent
SL 903 Howl
If you’re looking for a way to block out the rest of winter, these Saint Laurent sunnies are my recommendation.
Good Stone Inc
Classic Huggie Hoop Earrings
These timeless hoops will stay in your rotation for decades, not years.
3. Coat + Leather Skirt + Heels
Style Notes: Just because we still need a wool maxi to keep the chill at bay doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Keeping her base simple, Coco Schiffer injects visual interest through a pop of green in her tights and a fresh white coat. With Cloud Dancer (a soft white hue) named Pantone’s colour of the year, there’s never been a better time to pull out your winter whites.
Shop the Look:
The Frankie Shop
Gaia Oversized Wool-Blend Coat
Nothing looks chicer than a fresh white coat in the middle of winter.
The leather looks comfortably supple.
FALKE
Family Women Tights
Go for khaki rather than a brighter green to keep things understated.
The Row
Peggy Clutch in Leather
The Row does luxe minimalist bags like no other brand.
WOLFORD
Stretch-Jersey Bodysuit
Reiss
Leather Gloves in Black
Leather gloves have been all over my socials this winter.
4. Bootcut Jeans + Shearling-Lined Jacket + Shoulder Bag
Style Notes: If you’re in the market to invest in a new denim style, bootcut jeans deserve your full attention. Slightly boho, slightly Western, this popular silhouette is only set to garner more fans this year. I especially love the cool-girl edge they bring to Sasha Mei’s cold-weather-appropriate shearling jacket and knee-high boot combination.
Shop the Look:
NOUR HAMMOUR
Portia Shearling Jacket
The plush shearling collar and cuffs will make any outfit that bit more interesting.
Reformation
Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan
A fashion-person favourite.
River Island
Blue Mid Rise Bootcut Jeans
I’ve been wearing these bootcut jeans on repeat ever since I spotted Bella Hadid in a similar pair.
Haven’t you heard? 2016 is back, and ankle boots have never been cooler.
I’ve worn these sunnies almost every day this winter.
5. Bermuda Shorts + Wrap Coat + Square-Toe Heels
Style Notes: With warmer days ahead, now is the perfect time to take last summer’s Bermuda shorts for a spin (though you might want to add tights). Pairing tailored shorts with a soft wrap coat, Liv Madeline adds a playful pop of colour with a well-placed olive scarf, showing one of the easiest ways to brighten up a monochromatic, minimalistic look.
Shop the Look:
Dissh
Lucia Cropped Wool-Blend Coat
A plush wool-blend. I’d advise you size up for a less structured fit.
These tailored Reformation Bermuda shorts can be dressed up or dot.
Sézane
Mélanie Mary Janes
I’ll be swapping Liv’s block heels for a slightly more wearable iteration this month.
Calzedonia
Non-Elastic Cotton Ankle Socks
This is your sign to refresh your sock rotation.
JACQUEMUS
The Turismo Textured-Suede Tote
TBCo
Merino Wool Triangle Scarf
A triangle scarf will add a chic touch to any winter ‘fit.
6. Scarf Coat + Silk Trousers + Boots
Style Notes: If in doubt, stick to timeless classics. Olivia Orza‘s scarf coat and silk trousers might not be the first combination I’d have thought of myself, but it’s the perfect balance of sophistication and ease. Simple accessories elevate this look tenfold, and layering her cuff over her jacket is a simple styling trick I’ll definitely be copying this February.
Shop the Look:
ZARA
Knit Cape With Contrast Thread Scarf
COMMANDO
Stretch-Jersey Turtleneck Thong Bodysuit
You could also pair with your favourite denim and knee-high boots this winter.
Leset
Barb Mid-Rise Satin Wide-Leg Pants
If you’re in the market for a sumptuous pair of satin trousers, look no further.
So many Who What Wear UK editors rave about how expensive-looking these H&M knee-high boots are.
Miu Miu
Miu Regard Sunglasses
To keep the pesky winter sun at bay.
Abbott Lyon
Essence Gold 23 Watch
If Olivia’s Cartier Panthère is just a touch out of budget, this Abbott Lyon iteration is an affordable alternative.
7. Maxi Coat + Striped Polo + Full-length Skirt
Style Notes: If you needed a reminder that dressing for cold weather doesn’t have to be boring, here it is. Striped polos have skyrocketed in popularity thanks to the return of preppy styling, and Francesca Saffari leans into muted colourways and complementary shades to make her look pop. I especially love the addition of her brown Gucci Horsebit bag.
Shop the Look:
THE FRANKIE SHOP
Gaia Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Coat
The Frankie Shop’s Gaia coat is a cult favourite for a reason.
I love a striped polo, and I’ve got my eyes on this one next.
Karen millen
Techno Hardware Detail Woven Midi Pencil Skirt
If you like this skirt, I’d be quick, as it’s selling out fast!
Calzedonia
Short Socks With Cashmere
The grey socks really help tie this look together.
ZARA
Pointed Leather Ballet Flats
All the comfort of a heel with a stylish pointed to. What’s not to love?
Gucci
Gucci Horsebit 1955 Aura Small Shoulder Bag
