Hey there! Winter’s officially here, and while the temperatures might be dropping, your style doesn’t have to. I’ve been gathering some of the best looks for staying cozy, chic, and totally bundled up this season, and I’m so excited to share them with you. Think of this as your personal cheat sheet for making the most of your outerwear, knitwear, and layers. From structured coats to cool-girl casual, these outfits prove you can be warm and make a statement. Ready to dive into some serious winter fashion inspo? Let’s go!
Plaid Polish
How cool is this vibe? The oversized trench coat with a subtle plaid pattern is the ultimate layering piece. Pairing it with contrasting checkered trousers and light blue sneakers gives it a fresh, slightly unexpected street-style twist. It’s all about playing with those classic prints but keeping the look relaxed and modern. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns when they share a similar color palette!
How to get the look:
- Oversized Coat: Look for a long, double-breasted coat in a tweed or plaid. Size up for that effortless, slouchy fit.
- Mixed Prints: Choose trousers with a distinct check pattern that complements the coat’s color.
- Pop of Color: Finish with bright sneakers to add a youthful, sporty contrast to the classic outerwear.
Cuddle Coat
Okay, this is what I call a perfect weekend look. The gorgeous berry-red cardigan adds a rich splash of color to an otherwise simple outfit. A cozy, longline cardigan like this is basically a wearable blanket that still looks totally put together. Layered over a simple tee with a positive message, it’s proof that comfy clothes can still be stylish and bright.
How to get the look:
- Textured Cardigan: Invest in a soft, long, textured cardigan in a vibrant jewel tone like cranberry, emerald, or sapphire.
- Statement Tee: Wear a dark, simple top underneath—a graphic or slogan tee works great.
- Subtle Glow: Let your hair and makeup be easy, and catch the natural winter light for that ethereal, bright look.
Snow Day
Pure joy and pure warmth! This look is perfect for those genuinely cold, snowy days. The combination of a cozy corduroy jacket with a sherpa collar and a thick, pom-pom beanie is practical and playful. Her smile says it all—winter adventures require layers that make you feel good! Black leggings and simple brown boots keep the focus on the fun outerwear.
How to get the look:
- Warm Layers: Start with a graphic tee or thermal top, and throw on a mixed-media jacket like denim/sherpa or corduroy/sherpa.
- Chunky Hat: A thick knit beanie with a pom-pom is a must for warmth and adding a cute element.
- Outdoor Boots: Choose functional, warm boots, like fleece-lined or shearling styles, to handle the snow.
Urban Chic
I love the preppy-meets-edgy vibe here. Pairing a chunky maroon sweater over a crisp white collared shirt is a classic move, but those cropped plaid trousers and chunky heeled boots take it to a new level. It’s smart, put-together, and a great way to transition a more formal piece, like the collared shirt, into a stylish everyday look.
How to get the look:
- Collar Pop: Layer a bright white collared shirt under a crewneck sweater, making sure the collar peeks out neatly.
- Checkered Trousers: Find a tailored, ankle-length pant in a grey or neutral check pattern.
- Platform Boots: Finish with black, block-heeled or platform ankle boots to balance the proportions and add a modern edge.
Fishtastic Focus
This look is cozy with a major dose of cool. The oversized, rust-colored chunky knit sweater is gorgeous for winter, and when paired with a simple black skirt, it feels both warm and modern. The edgy element? A pair of fishnet tights peeking out from under the skirt! It’s an easy way to add texture and an unexpected, daring touch to a simple outfit.
How to get the look:
- Warm Knit: Choose a chunky, oversized knit sweater in a rich autumnal color like rust, terracotta, or burnt orange.
- Simple Base: Pair it with a high-waisted black skirt or black shorts.
- Edgy Tights: Add fishnet or other patterned tights for a textured, alternative element.
Sunset Rider
You can’t go wrong with a classic moto jacket! This look is effortlessly cool, especially with that golden hour light hitting the road. The black leather jacket, dark jeans, and beanie create a sleek, monochromatic base, letting the texture of the leather and the knitwear do the talking. It’s a perfect combination of comfort and rock-and-roll attitude for a sunny, but chilly, day.
How to get the look:
- Moto Jacket: Invest in a well-fitting black or dark leather (or faux-leather) motorcycle jacket.
- Simple Tee: Layer a plain white t-shirt underneath for contrast and breathability.
- Simple Accessories: Add a knit beanie and a pair of sunglasses to complete the cool, laid-back road trip vibe.
Biker Edge
Here’s a similar but more bundled-up take on the leather jacket look. The key difference is the heavier textured leather jacket, the warm tartan scarf, and those seriously cool lace-up combat boots. The dark wash jeans and gray background give this a great moody, cold-weather feel. It’s practical for staying warm but doesn’t sacrifice any of that edgy style.
How to get the look:
- Heavy Jacket: Select a thick, black or charcoal leather jacket with quilted or textured details.
- Patterned Scarf: Drape a chunky wool or acrylic scarf in a plaid or checked pattern around your neck.
- Combat Boots: Finish with sturdy, lace-up combat or military-style boots for a functional and fashionable step.
Sweet Prep
This outfit perfectly blends professionalism with feminine charm. The light pink coat and matching cable-knit sweater are so soft and lovely against the crisp white shirt and tailored plaid trousers. It’s an elevated, polished look that shows how to use lighter, pastel shades effectively in the winter months. Perfect for a slightly warmer winter day or a meeting!
How to get the look:
- Pastel Outerwear: Choose a long, tailored coat in a soft pastel like blush pink, powder blue, or mint green.
- Layering Combo: Layer a pastel sweater over a simple white collared blouse—let the collar and cuffs peek out.
- Plaid Trousers: Pair with tailored grey plaid or checkered trousers to ground the look with a subtle pattern.
Bold Elegance
Talk about a power look! This is how you make an entrance. The rich, deep burgundy ruffled blouse is stunning, especially when paired with a sharp, tailored black jacket with those striking gold buttons. The whole look screams holiday party or a sophisticated night out. It’s all about luxurious textures and that beautiful contrast between the red and black.
How to get the look:
- Statement Blouse: Find a blouse in a deep jewel tone (ruby, wine, emerald) with high-neck, ruffle, or pleated details.
- Military Jacket: Throw on a structured, black blazer or jacket featuring bold, metallic buttons.
- Simple Clutch: Accessorize with a sleek black or gold clutch to keep the focus on the top half of the outfit.
