The chill has hit New Zealand and winter is officially here. As sad as we are to see the sunshine disappear, we can’t help but get excited about the winter fashion that comes with the season. You can dodge the rain and shivers, lounging around in your Home Lee Apartment Pants, or brace the rain in a fabulous, warm coat. Time to layer up as we share our favourite winter fashion essentials from sustainable, premium clothing brands.

There are not enough words to describe this Elsa Puffer Trench jacket by Sills. Made with 90% Down and 10% Feather Fill, this puffer and trench coat crossover is a dream for winter, designed to keep you warm and protected from the wintery cold—from shoulders to knees.

In black and charcoal variations, the puffer trench is a winter staple that’ll last for years to come. The simple colours mean it’ll go with practically anything to bring the perfect winter twist to any outfit. And to make things easier; giant buttoned pockets to keep everything on hand.

Create an effortlessly chic ensemble with Taylor’s gorgeous Covet Coat. Whether you’re running errands, going on a winter walk, or heading out for dinner, just throw your Covet Coat on for extra warmth—you'll look gorgeous too.

Beautifully crafted from alpaca and wool, the Covet Coat doesn’t just look nice, it feels it too with the warmest lining you could dream of. A single large button keeps everything toasty while the big pockets and adjustable sleeves further elevate its function. You’ll have everybody asking about this coat from the moment you put it on.

Every closet needs a casual bomber, and the Raw Edge Cropt Conclusion Coat is a top contender. Nothing too fancy, just a practical, lightweight jacket that you can throw on in a rush. Just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it isn’t stylish. A more muted option, this jacket has a cool and effortless vibe that comes along with it.

Made for quality and longevity, the bomber—both black and white variants—look fantastic with anything. You can always count on the Cropt Conclusion Coat to keep you comfy when the chill hits the air. Wear it with the hood up, zip it, whatever you’re feeling, you can guarantee it’ll look great.

Don’t let gloves be an afterthought; warm hands make all the difference during winter. And there’s no better way to warm your hands up than with merino and wool gloves—soft to the touch. The colour variety allows you to find a pair that suits your style. Keep those hands from shaking and shivering the fashionable way—with gloves! Complete your winter look with these fantastic Noble Wilde gloves.

Staying at home doesn't mean you can't dress in a cute get-up—and nothing will make you feel more at home than sliding into your Cosy Luxe Slippers. An around-the-house essential, everybody should have a pair of slippers.

They may not seem like they’d keep you very warm but sliding your feet beneath the fluffy toe-cover will show you why these are your winter shoe for those cold days stuck at home. Just make sure to keep these fabulous fluffy slippers away from your dog, you won’t want to lose this pair!
