When winter comes, you know it’s also time to renew your wardrobe to stay warm and stylish. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you can’t look good. With just a few pieces of clothing, you can create cozy outfits that work for any occasion. In this post, I’ll be going over a list of winter outfits every girl needs!
1. Trench Coats
A trench coat is a timeless and cute piece that works for just about any occasion. It adds a touch of style to an outfit, from sweaters to dresses to t-shirts.
How to Style Your Trench Coat:
- Wear with a chunky sweater, skinny jeans, and ankle boots for a chic look.
- For work, wear over a pencil skirt and blouse with knee-high boots.
- I also think adding a turtleneck or scarf would be super cute and adds more warmth to those colder days.
2. Knee-High Boots
Knee-high boots keep you warm and are SO stylish. They come in various fabrics such as leather and suede and can be worn in formal or casual outings.
How to Wear Your Knee High Boots:
- Wear these with a sweater dress and tights for that “feminine look”.
- Wear with skinny jeans and a chunky knit for that ultimate cool vibe.
- Tuck dark pants into boots for that sleek office outfit.
3. Turtleneck Sweaters
Turtlenecks are my favorite piece of clothing to layer with. They’re warm, comfy, and you can style them in so many ways from loose to fitted.
How to Style Your Turtleneck Sweater:
- Throw on a fitted turtleneck underneath your sweater or dress for that extra bit of warmth.
- You can also wear a chunky turtleneck with high-waisted jeans and ankle boots.
- Wear a fitted turtleneck under a blazer or coat for a classy look.
4. Stockings & Tights
Stocking and tights are AMAZING for keeping your legs warm all while staying stylish (and that’s what we’re here for). From classic black tights and stockings to fun patterns, they’re all out there!
How to Style Your Stockings & Tights:
- Wear black tights with a mini skirt, knee-high boots, and a chunky sweater.
- Layer sheer or patterned tights under a dress.
- For a more classy style, wear textured tights with a wool dress and tall boots.
5. Purses
I personally think everyone should have go-to winter purses, I like mine practical and stylish. Look for ones that are large enough to hold your winter essentials like gloves and scarves, yet sleek enough for everyday use.
How to Style Your Purse:
- A medium sized leather crossbody purse works well for casual and formal looks.
- If you want a dressier look, satchel handbags are structured and stand upright, you can wear them to match your coat and boots for a chic style.
- Large tote: Wear one to carry extra winter accessories.
6. Cardigans, Scarves, Hats
I always say, Cardigans, scarves, and hats really tie a good winter outfit together. They are just the ultimate in winter accessories, not only for aesthetics but also for keeping you warm when it really matters.
How to Style Your Winter Accessories:
- Wear a long cardigan over a turtleneck and jeans for the simplest casual and relaxed look.
- Add a thick scarf and a cozy hat to your outfit for extra warmth.
- Wear a wool scarf over a dress with tights, both cute and elegant!
7. Sweater Dresses
Sweater dresses are one of the simplest and most comfortable options to wear during winter, they’re also one of my favorite types of clothing to wear and they come in so many different styles: fitted, oversized, or anywhere in between.
How to Style Your Sweater Dress:
- Wear a fitted sweater dress with tights, knee-high boots, and a long coat.
- You can wear an oversized sweater dress with sneakers for a casual and boho chic style.
- You can add a belt to an oversized sweater dress to give it a little more definition, this will also make you look more put together.
8. Puffer Jackets
You won’t catch me out and about without one! Puffer jackets are essential when it gets cold outside, and the best thing about them is how they can be worn to make a stylish statement while still keeping you cozy. Plus, they go with pretty much anything.
How to Wear Your Puffer Jacket:
- Throw on a puffer jacket over a sweater dress or skinny jeans for a warm and cute outfit.
- Wear a cropped puffer jacket (these are my favorite to wear!) over high-waisted pants or with a skirt, if you’re feeling brave on a chilly day.
- You can just keep it simple with a neutral puffer jacket over a chunky knit sweater and boots.
9. Faux Fur Accessories
If you’re into faux fur (not real fur, obviously) this is a great option for that touch of luxury and elegance to your winter outfit. It’s a stylish way to stay warm without using real fur.
How to Style Your Faux Fur:
- Put on a faux fur scarf with a sweater and jeans for that chic look.
- You’ll get an elegant yet fashion-forward look by adding a faux fur vest over your sweater and leggings.
- If you want to get even extra, wear a faux fur stole. This will add the perfect touch to any coat on those special occasions.
10. Chunky Sweaters
A chunky knit sweater is perfect for when the temperature is freezing. These types of sweaters are cozy and are always in style no matter the size, shape, or year. They’re a winter staple!
How to Style Your Chunky Sweater:
- Wear an oversized chunky sweater over your leggings or skinny jeans, and pair them with ankle boots.
- Tuck your chunky sweater into your high waisted jeans for a more put together look.
- Layer it under a pleated skirt with knee high boots for a cute and girly vibe.
I know how overwhelming it might get, especially with the amount of options out there, but planning your winter wardrobe really doesn’t have to be hard. With these winter essentials, you can easily stay warm and stylish all season long. Complete with scarves for layering, tights, and cardigans for that added warmth and charm. Enjoy your winter in style!
