How to curate timeless Winter pieces with stylist, Kate Kohler featuring Aje.

Words, photos and styling by Westfield Kotara stylist, Kate Kohler.

At the center of our wardrobes are core pieces; these items are extremely versatile, are on high rotation and give us effortless style. In Winter, we crave the perfect pair of jeans, the all-rounder coat we can style multiple ways and cozy knitwear that oozes luxury and takes you from day to night. So how does one curate these timeless pieces?
Let me tell you about my recent visit to Aje, and why their core pieces will excite your wardrobe this season!

Diving straight into jeans, you’ve probably noticed wide-leg, relaxed, baggy and barrel have taken fashion by storm. I am obsessed with the STEVIE BARREL; high waist, ankle length and perfect for that cool-girl aesthetic. My next recommendation in the RYLAN WIDE LEG; high waist, wider in the leg and full length. Style either pair with the dreamy CELINE CARDIGAN for a relaxed look or elevate with the SUNBEAM BUSTIER for a sexy Winter look. Don’t worry, the DEVOTE COAT will finish this look with dramatic energy and be a perfect addition for your wardrobe. This coat is a hybrid of relaxed yet tailored in shape with signature Aje, gold hardware and I adore it!

Let’s talk vegan leather. We normally think of a leather jacket at this time of year but let me bring your attention to the ILLUSION MNI SKIRT because the craftsmanship takes this popular style of skirt to another level. While an oversized tee tucked in or the CELINE CARDIGAN would casualise this piece, the matching ILLUSION SHIRT would take you to dinner or a gig in no time. Without question, pair this shirt with your denim and consider the ARLO BELT your finishing piece.

My last try-on has to be one of my favourite Aje, pieces ever.
Meet the CHECK DENIM MIDI DRESS. Featuring a diamond logo wash print, cocoon sleeves, accent buttons and pockets! This classic shape is waiting to be styled for all aesthetics; a sneaker for weekends, chunky loafer for the office, a knee-high boot for a long lunch and black suede pumps for midweek date night! Not only am I an all or nothing branding kind of gal but until now, I’ve never considered myself cool enough to pull off denim on denim which is why you must try styling this piece as a trench over the RYLAN WIDE LEG JEANS in the same wash as the dress – oh my goodness, I shocked myself. Chefs kiss Aje, !
