Minimal, Tailored Wool and Cashmere Coats

During the autumnal season, we were coveting layered, eclectic looks from the boho chic trend. We are taking a more minimalist approach for winter, styling simple yet chic looks with beautifully constructed wool and cashmere coats. Investing in a tailored, high-quality coat will guarantee many warm and stylish winters for years to come.

Look out for cashmere, wool, or wool blend fabrics in simple ivory, grey, or black to pair with your winter wardrobe. If you feel bold, opting for a color like olive green will help inject more vibrance into your winter wardrobe.

Stay Snug in a Duffle Coat

Duffle coats are the perfect outerwear staple for a more playful style of coat for the winter season. The adorable toggle fasteners and looped straps add an extra dimension to your look, almost like your coat is wearing jewelry. As a bonus, the toggles are easy to fasten and undo while wearing thick, fuzzy gloves or mittens on a cold winter day.

Available in short or long lengths, duffle coats are a versatile coat option for winter that can be dressed up or down for a variety of cozy yet chic looks.

Hibernate for Winter with a Stylish Puffer Jacket

You can’t go wrong with a puffer jacket for the winter season. If you live in a cold part of the world, a thick padded coat is a must-have investment for warmth, style, and comfort. Nothing is more comforting on a cold winter’s day than being hugged by your cozy puffer jacket on your way to work or school, except perhaps for a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.

Look out for puffer jackets with unique collars, colors, and shapes to differentiate yourself from the crowd.

Styling Notes for Winter: Balaclavas and Warm Accessories

When it comes to styling with accessories for winter, it’s all in the details. This season, we are noticing the use of buttoned-up accessories, balaclavas to keep your head warm, long gloves, and leg warmers to keep your hands and legs warm this winter! With the popularity of the balletcore trend in the summer, we are excited to continue wearing our leg warmers in the cold season to achieve the stylish off-duty ballerina look.

Complete Your Stylish Winter Look with Statement Boots

This season’s must-have shoes are mid-calf and knee-high leather boots in beige, brown, and black colors. A classic pair of mid-calf or longer knee-high boots, with or without a chunky sole, are versatile for a wide range of winter looks.

These boot lengths are the perfect in-between when an ankle boot isn’t warm enough, but your outfit doesn’t quite work with an over-the-knee boot. In addition to being versatile, a chunky-soled taller length boot will keep you safe in the snow while keeping your feet cozy and warm.
