Go Low on Denim
While the average outfit has at least one denim piece, the royal family are not too keen when it comes to jeans on a daily basis. They frequent trousers even for casual outings, paired with blazers and cardigans. Denims are not completely off limits though. Kate Middleton walks her dogs wearing jeans.

The Coat
No winter wardrobe is complete without the perfect coat. An elegant coat is the perfect way to add a hint of class to your casual outfit, and their warmth is a great plus as well. When picking a multipurpose coat, the basic colors are never out of style. Coats in black, grey, burgundy or nude can add a wow factor to a rather daily look.
