Takapuna is the destination for building a winter wardrobe that’s cosy and undeniably cool. This season isn’t just about surviving the cold; it’s about thriving in it.
Layer up and let’s explore some fashion tips that will make you look as hot as your favourite winter beverage.
The power of polished basics
Even on the busiest of mornings, basics are the backbone of your closet. A strong selection of polished basics is essential for any winter wardrobe. Think of them as your secret style weapon: always appropriate, and always ready to pull an outfit together in a flash.
Consider a crisp white shirt, a perfectly fitting pair of black trousers.

Invest in enduring quality
Building a wardrobe isn’t just about buying clothes; it’s about making smart investments.
The real trick to a sustainable and stylish closet is choosing quality pieces that will last for many winters to come.

The third piece rule
Elevate any ensemble with the third piece rule. Your top and bottom are your first and second elements. The third piece is that extra something something that combines the whole look. It could be a scarf, a hat, sweater or blazer. A finishing touch can change an outfit from good to great.
The third piece is a power move in disguise. It is a way of saying that you care about your presence and are worth the extra effort to look your best.

Embrace unique textures
Winter is the perfect canvas to play with rich textures. Forget simply matching colours; elevating your outfit means mixing unexpected combinations – a chunky knit paired with something sleek, or a bold coat over a smooth layer. This adds depth and dimension.

Thoughtful storage
We know the magic of a great outfit, but wizardry also happens before you even put it on. It’s in the quiet art of thoughtful storage. Think of quality hangers and proper organisation as your wardrobe’s protective spells: they banish wrinkles, maintain garment shape, and keep your favourite pieces looking fabulous.
A tip for the wise: a well-chosen laundry basket isn’t just for dirty clothes; it keeps your outfits from unnecessary creasing or damage before laundry day.
