The Real Chic Life

We’re continuing our How to Dress Like series today with a look at another show that I couldn’t help binge watching- The Perfect Couple on Netflix. The Perfect Couple is a murder mystery drama centered around an affluent family in Nantucket. Nicole Kidman stars as the family’s matriarch, Greer Garrison Winbury. The frequent plot twists and slow unraveling of family secrets kept me highly entertained, but what I loved most about the show were the glossy scenes and glamorous setting. To accompany the laidback opulence of the family at the center of the drama, each character had a gorgeous wardrobe that matched their personality and personal motivations. Greer’s queen bee status and devotion to appearing perfect were reflected in her personal style- a chic mix of quiet luxury, timeless silhouettes and high-quality fabrics. Here’s our guide to achieving this look:

Greer favors timeless silhouettes that fit well but aren’t too trendy. To achieve Greer’s signature look, pair silk or satin tanks and tie neck blouses with flowy, wide-leg pants. Her wardrobe often includes classic neutrals like white, beige, navy, and black, occasionally accented with subtle pops of color. A pastel or jewel-toned blouse can bring a sophisticated flair to an outfit without overpowering it.

Greer wears classic dresses that are flattering yet modest. Subtle prints like florals or abstract designs can add interest without being overly bold.

For chilly weather, Greer favors timeless knits in luxe fabrics like cashmere. A classic cardigan is an easy layering pieces that adds a touch of refinement.

Greer’s signature look for special occasions is a fitted sheath dress with a demure midi length and dramatic shoulder details like bows, flowers or one shoulder. Opt for well-fitted pieces that highlight a refined, feminine silhouette.

To complete the Greer Winbury look choose simple, classic accessories like a pearl necklace, diamond studs, or a fine gold bracelet. For bags, opt for designer totes or clutches in neutral colors—structured shapes and high-quality leather will make them look luxurious. Keep makeup subtle, with a focus on enhancing natural beauty. With these elements your look will reflect polished, quiet luxury.

As always I’d love to hear what you think of the show or of the styles featured. Let me know if there are any other characters you’d like us to cover.
