Hey everyone! Ready to talk about winter style? If you’re anything like me, you want to be warm without sacrificing your fashion game. Good news: these amazing photos prove you can absolutely do both! From sunny winter days by the water to cozy nights out in the city, I’ve gathered some major inspiration to keep you looking stylish and toasty all season long. Let’s break down these looks and figure out how we can steal their style!
The Looks: Winter Outfit Inspiration
1: Sunny Lakeside
This look is pure winter daydreaming. She’s rocking a gorgeous cream cable-knit sweater belted over a dark, patterned skirt—a genius way to transition a summer skirt. The white pom-pom beanie and long, flowing hair just complete that soft, ethereal vibe. It’s the perfect balance of cozy and chic for a bright, chilly day outdoors.
How to get the look: Layer a fitted black or brown belt over your thickest knit to define your waist. Pair it with a contrasting knitted beanie (pom-pom optional, but highly recommended!) for that perfect, effortless winter accessory.
2: City Lights
I love this effortless city style! A simple, cropped navy puffer jacket instantly adds warmth and a modern edge. The bright olive green scarf, tied casually, breaks up the darker colors and frames her face beautifully. Paired with classic blue jeans, this is your go-to outfit for a day of running errands or a casual weekend wander under the city lights.
How to get the look: Find a cropped puffer in a versatile dark color like navy or black. The key is the scarf: choose one with great texture or a pop of color to make the whole outfit feel intentional, then knot it loosely for an easy, stylish look.
3: Golden Hour Break
Even in cooler weather, you can still embrace a relaxed, layered look! She’s styled a classic striped shirt and jeans with a beautiful, chunky mustard yellow cardigan draped over her shoulders. It adds texture, a vibrant pop of color, and serves as a cozy layer you can easily throw on or off. The small yellow crossbody bag pulls the whole sunny palette together.
How to get the look: Layer a bright or textured chunky knit over a more tailored piece like a button-down shirt. Drape the knit casually over your shoulders for a stylish, relaxed effect—it’s a great way to use a favorite cardigan on a slightly warmer winter day.
4: Parisian Chic
Talk about sophisticated winter layering! This long, flowing berry-colored trench coat is the star, giving the outfit beautiful structure and movement. Paired with a neutral knit underneath and dark pants, it’s stylish without being fussy. Of course, the black beret is the quintessential accessory that ties this classic, slightly mysterious look together.
How to get the look: Invest in a stylish, dramatic long trench or duster coat in a rich color like plum or burgundy. A simple beret immediately elevates the look. Keep the base layers neutral to let the coat and hat shine.
5: Patterned Cozy
This is the definition of cozy-chic for a crisp autumn or mild winter day. The warm, earthy tones of the rust-colored coat are so inviting. The extra-long, patterned tartan scarf provides amazing contrast and texture, which is instantly eye-catching. Wrapping it right up to the chin adds maximum warmth and a great bundled-up effect.
How to get the look: Grab a timeless wool or felt coat in a warm hue like camel or rust. Pair it with an oversized, chunky patterned scarf and wrap it tightly around your neck—the bigger and cozier the scarf, the better the final look!
6: Russian Trapper
This is how you do seriously warm winter style! The combination of the shearling-lined coat and the classic, plush faux-fur trapper hat is both practical and incredibly chic. A black turtleneck and scarf underneath keep the layers sleek, letting the texture of the shearling and fur do all the talking. She looks ready for anything!
How to get the look: Embrace the texture! Layer a shearling or teddy coat over simple base layers. The key piece is a playful, warm trapper hat—look for one with faux fur details around the face for ultimate warmth and style.
7: Street Style Warmth
This is a cool, contemporary winter look for a night out. The black leather aviator jacket with the plush shearling collar and trim is a true wardrobe hero—it looks tough but feels super cozy. The simple baseball cap and glasses keep the look grounded and effortless, making the jacket the main event.
How to get the look: Find a great quality faux-leather aviator or moto jacket with a warm shearling or faux-fur lining/collar. Pair it with a casual baseball cap in a neutral color to balance the boldness of the jacket.
8: Rainy Day Ready
Who says a rainy day can’t be stylish? This look is all about practicality and a pop of color. The structured black puffer jacket is a winter staple, but the bright teal turtleneck sweater underneath makes the outfit special. The colorful umbrella adds a cheerful touch, proving that functional pieces can also be fashionable.
How to get the look: Master the puffer: Wear a structured, warm puffer coat over a brightly colored, high-neck turtleneck for a hidden pop of color. Finish the look with a contrasting accessory like a bright umbrella or gloves on dreary days.
9: Night Out Chic
This outfit is perfect for a stylish evening out. It blends cozy texture with sleek tailoring. Like Image 7, she’s rocking a fantastic black leather jacket with a cream shearling collar, but here, she’s layered it over a crisp white shirt and dark sweater. The simple gold jewelry adds a touch of subtle evening glamour.
How to get the look: Layer a collared jacket (like the shearling-lined one) over a white button-down shirt and a black knit sweater. Let the white collar peek out at the top to create a chic, contrasting neckline. Simple gold jewelry completes the look.
10: Teddy Bear Love
This look is peak winter wonderland! The gorgeous, voluminous teddy coat in a light beige or cream looks incredibly soft and warm—it’s like being wrapped in a cloud! Paired with a ribbed knit pom-pom beanie and a patterned cowl neck, it’s a bright, cozy ensemble that looks amazing against the backdrop of night lights.
How to get the look: You absolutely need a fluffy oversized teddy coat this season. Look for one in a pale neutral color. Add a chunky knit beanie (bonus points for a pom-pom!) and wear a patterned scarf or turtleneck underneath for subtle detail.
