Fresh winter weather means we're craving layered looks more than ever, and the chicest way to execute this look is by teaming up complementary neutral hues, for an elegant but cosy look.
Neutrals are everywhere this season, from the runway to red carpets, but it's Dakota Johnson we’re turning to for outfit inspiration, after she nailed this relaxed yet elevated style while on set for her upcoming thriller Verity in March 2025.
In a fuzzy, taupe knit and oversized tailored coat in a matching hue, it was her choice of rusty brown, straight-leg jeans that added a fashion-forward spin to her look. The warm, muted tone brought just the right amount of colour to her winter-ready outfit, while a pair of chunky, black boots finished off her look with style and practicality.
Get Dakota's winter-ready look
Coming in a warm-toned, rusty brown shade, these Levi's jeans can add a burst of bold colour to neutral outfits without being overwhelming or too bright on cold, winter days.
This warm-toned stone shade is an ideal neutral, working well with brown and grey hues to create a versatile colour palette that emulates Dakota's look.
With a similar relaxed fit to Dakota's style, this coat will slip effortlessly over everything from straight-leg jeans to midi dresses or tailoring. The neutral tone is elegant and unfussy, allowing it to work from AM to PM.
A rich, terracotta shade makes these denim jeans the perfect muted pair to recreate Dakota's look with; the rusty hue is ideal for styling with more muted shades.
A slouchy, cosy fit makes this jumper one to wear with anything and everything, from your favourite leggings as loungewear to jeans or tailored trousers for a more elevated, everyday style.
Made from premium leather, this pair of practical and sleek boots makes an ideal addition to any winter-ready outfit. Their chunky sole is thick but lightweight and will add an elevated edge to jeans, midi skirts and dresses alike.
As we look forward to the denim trends for 2026, slim and straight leg silhouettes are set to remainat the forefront of our winter capsule wardrobes. Sleek but not as form-fitting as the skinny jean, Dakota is already a huge fan of a timeless straight-leg, with her rusty-hued denim delivering a fresh take on the classic look.
With the length of her jeans finishing just above the ankle, she proves exactly why the style is such a flattering staple. The cut creates the illusion of a leaner, longer leg, thanks to the ankle-crop showing off her boots, even with her oversized coat falling to the mid-thigh.
The taupe shade of both her coat and knitted jumper are ideal for January’s muted weather, with the warm tone playing into a beautiful neutral colour palette while a hint of grey gives a nod to the spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026.
Finishing her cosy ensemble with a pair of black, lug sole boots, Dakota knows that when it comes to winter dressing, practicality is still key to nailing the winter chill. Her sleek black boots are a solid investment piece that will never go out of style and go with pretty much everything.
