Queen Mary's chic snowy weather look is the ideal style for freezing winter days, keeping you warm and cosy while still looking elevated and put-together.
As we head into the cold half of the year, with the days becoming shorter and frighteningly cold, picking out practical wardrobe staples often takes precedent over choosing stylish, chic pieces.
But your winter capsule wardrobe doesn't need to forgo style in order to keep you warm and Queen Mary's chic winter wear look is proof that we can keep things practical and still look effortlessly elevated and put-together.
Enjoying the slopes in snowy Switzerland back in 2014, the Queen of Denmark stood out in the sea of white snow in a striking pair of purple ski trousers and a flattering, fitted black puffer coat from Moncler with a cosy high neck and insulated padding.

The black coat is not only the perfect warm winter coat but also an incredibly flattering coat for the colder months, nipping Mary in at the waist to highlight her figure and create a sleek silhouette while also ensuring she is kept warm thanks to the structured padding.
Mary's brown snow boots, while barely visible thanks to the layers of snow coating them, featured practical gripped soles and incorporated some chic features in the form of black leather detailing and a striking squared toe. A great and practical winter boot option, especially if you're someone who enjoys walking no matter the weather forecast, snow boots will make sure your feet are dry and kept cosy, while also offering ample foot support.
Keeping her hands warm, Mary added a pair of sleek black gloves to her look and protected her eyes from the blinding winter sun with some oversized, round-framed sunglasses.
Creating a more elevated look with her winter wear, Mary opted for a glamorous though appropriately casual hairstyle, styling her strands in a bouncy blow out style, with her layers flicking out at different angles to create some sleek texture while tonnes of volume at the root framed her face beautifully.
Fresh faced, Mary's makeup look was natural though perfected. A flawless base, which we'd recreate with a natural looking and glowing lightweight foundation, evened out her skin tone and a pink-toned blusher (though it could just be a flush brought on by the searing cold wind) brought a lovely and natural pop of colour to the apples of her cheeks and high points of her cheekbones.
