Shall we dive in? Get ready to define your new winter wardrobe.
Statement Coats
Your coat is the first thing people notice in winter, so make it unforgettable. Statement coats this season are all about boldness and creativity. Try jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue and bold large prints like animal, houndstooth and ethnic. If you’re looking for something bolder, try cape shapes and coats with a mixture of fabrics such as vinyl, faux fur and leather. Pair your statement coat with understated base layers to let it truly shine.
Gloves
Gloves are no longer just functional; they are the key piece to turn your outfit into a look. Opt for buttery-soft leather gloves in rich shades like burgundy or forest green. Or try something bolder: long-sleeve gloves, delicate accessories, and embroidery. Match your gloves to your scarf or hat for a polished, coordinated look.
Hats
A chic hat can transform your winter outfit while keeping you warm and cozy. Channel some French elegance with wool or leather berets in classic and bold hues. If you’re looking for something fun, try a Faux fur bucket hat, they are both playful and practical this season. And lastly, a timeless classic knit beanie or cashmere cap is a casual, cozy staple. Choose hats in contrasting colors to make them pop against your coat.
Scarves
Scarves are the layer between you and the cold, so they are essential for your outfit. Blanket scarves with exaggerated fringes double as cozy wraps that will keep you warm all season long by opting for chunky knits and soft cashmere. If you’re looking to brighten up your winter wardrobe, choose scarves in vibrant stripes, florals, and geometric designs. Drape an oversized scarf over your shoulders like a shawl for an effortlessly chic look.
Winter Boots
If your feet are warm, you are warm, but that is no easy task. Choose shearling-lined boots, cozy and warm, they’re a staple for casual winter outings. If you live in or go to snowy places, you’ll need some chunky lug-sole boots, the rugged look will keep you from falling on the snow.
With these trends, winter becomes the perfect opportunity to experiment with style while staying warm and comfortable. These pieces may be cozy and warm but they’re also all incredibly chic. Make sure to add some under layers as well, especially if you’re wearing a skirt or a dress.
