Winter always begins with festive celebrations and continues with the excitement of the New Year, which means there are plenty of opportunities to show off beautiful outfits. This season also offers an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and explore bold textures, pops of color, and heavy fabrics. Whether you’re dealing with a cold climate or you’re lucky enough to bask in a warm winter paradise, there are plenty of ways to stay stylish throughout the winter months.
Relax and Unwind
This winter, we’ll think of shearling-lined jackets, and of course, Sofia Riche Grainge is the pinnacle of inspiration for this trend. Here, she pairs a comfy biker version with casual light-wash jeans, platform boots, and a pair of colourful sunglasses.
Monochrome Fur
Monochromatic clothing sometimes shifts to basic areas, but clever combinations of textures keep the all-black outfit exciting. Take a look from Selena Gomez and build yours around a loose-fitting faux fur coat. Since then, she has paired a delicate coat with flared pants and velvety black heels. Drinking martinis after work, anyone?
Pleated Mini
Super miniskirt season is just around the corner, and model Kaia Gerber is here to show it off elegantly. Follow in her footsteps and opt for playful styles – mini ruffles and ribbed textures – that pair seamlessly with a semi-sheer turtleneck.
Bold Blazers
Think of this chic tailoring as a blueprint for winter evenings, happy hours, and everything in between. In the picture, Insecure alumnus Issa Rae pairs a sleek oversized blazer with a white mini dress. Gold rings and relaxed western boots complete this sleek look and make you feel more confident than ever.
Modern Penny Lane
Dressing to impress at a weekend brunch (i.e.: creating a relaxed and chic vibe) can be a delicate balance. Emily Ratajkowski opted for a relaxed and lively coat here that reminds us of a free-spirited star from “Almost Famous”. She continued the ’70s trend by pairing her ’70s inspiration with turtlenecks, riding boots, and striking gold hoops.
Sky-High Shorts
A pantsless look isn’t for the faint of heart, but we guarantee it will pay off in high fashion, especially when you pair your ultra-shorts with a luscious button-down cardigan. What’s the secret to making this statement piece more wearable (and the right winter outfit ideas)? Slip on a pair of leggings or sheer leggings underneath for added coverage and warmth. Look at!
Pink Polish
We’re all on the lookout for inspiration for the sweater weather, so it’s safe to say we’re very interested in this look from Toni Bravo. Bold knitwear – Barbie-esque bubblegum hues – bring life to the gloomiest of winter days. A pink crewneck sweater with a pleated maxi skirt and a sleek handbag adds a new level of elegance.
Keep It Colorful
When it comes to transforming unexpected basics into beautiful garments, Ashley Graham always does just that. Here, she layered up a classic striped sweater with modern wide-leg leather trousers. Put on thick shoes and you have a recipe for successful dressing in cold weather.
Don’t Sweat
Looking for inspiration for your office’s upcoming holiday party? Look no further: this sweet combination of a thick sweater and a satin maxi skirt is just fine. Elevate the cool girl with a statement necklace and knee-high shoes.
Silent and Moody
Chriselle Lim knows a thing or two about creating effortless and chic winter outfits, and this pastel-hued look is no exception. Consider this skirt and sweater combo as your go-to for seasonal celebrations. Pair a chunky knit in forest green with a skirt in a similar shade, then pair it with some platform boots with rough edges to enhance the contrast.
