While the winter season may bring its own set of challenges, there’s a certain charm to the holiday period. As we navigate through the cold weather, rushing to get to work or running errands, it’s easy to forget that the festive atmosphere is just around the corner. The idea of snuggling up with loved ones, indulging in warm treats and drinks, and exchanging gifts becomes a welcome respite from the daily grind.
To make the most of this time, I’ve curated a selection of wintertime outfits that blend style with practicality. From cozy layers to statement accessories, these looks are designed to keep you warm while still allowing you to shine.
Cable knit vest and animal print bag
One of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe has got to be jeans – they truly do go with everything! If you find yourself with a plain long sleeve shirt and a reliable pair of boots, the only additional items you need to complete the look are a cable knit vest and an animal print bag. And don’t worry too much about matching – the bag can stand out on its own, adding a pop of personality to your overall ensemble.
Cable knit turtleneck and mini skirt
When shopping for a cable knit vest, consider pairing it with a sweater that will complement its warm and cozy vibes. A mini skirt is an excellent choice to create a stylish outfit. If you already have one in your wardrobe, now’s the perfect opportunity to bring it out. To keep things modest, team the skirt with opaque leggings. For added charm, swap long boots for ankle boots that will elongate your legs while showcasing the skirt.
Brown and taupe with animal print scarf
For those who live to dress up, there’s no need to compromise on style when embracing a dressy casual approach. A harmonious combination that complements various skin tones is brown and taupe, with its warm and feminine undertones. As seen here, this palette offers a versatile canvas for expressing personal flair without being too matchy-matchy.
Taupe, in particular, allows for creative freedom to explore different shades and textures, making it an excellent foundation for building a unique look.
Button down shirt, cable knit cardigan and riding boots
The resurgence of leggings as a fashion staple has led many to accumulate a sizeable collection. Fortunately, this trend also offers an opportunity to create versatile outfits with existing pieces. For instance, pairing a button-down shirt with a cable-knit cardigan instantly elevates the look. Add a pair of riding boots, and you’re ready for a leisurely morning stroll or a romantic evening out.
Hoodie with leather accessories
Whether you’re planning a skiing adventure or just want to elevate your everyday style, this versatile outfit has got you covered. By combining a long sleeve shirt with a hoodie, you can create a streamlined look that’s perfect for colder weather without the bulkiness of a traditional coat. The addition of leather accessories takes it to the next level, adding a touch of sophistication and maturity that would be lost if paired with casual sneakers.
Apricot sweater with brown accessories
While neutrals often dominate during winter, there’s no rule against incorporating brighter hues into your wardrobe. A vibrant apricot sweater is a great example of how to add some excitement to your outfit. When paired with earthy brown accessories, the sweater becomes an effortlessly stylish combination that will elevate any look.
Sweater, tank and plaid tote
For many women, finding an outfit that maintains warmth outside without causing overheating indoors can be a conundrum. However, this issue has a simple solution! Layering a sweater over a tank top provides effective insulation against the cold, while also allowing for easy removal when the indoor temperature rises. And don’t forget to complete your look with a stylish plaid tote bag – it’s a hot trend right now!
All black with a touch of color
This winter, one trend that’s generating significant excitement is an all-black ensemble, from head to toe. While this look exudes sophistication, adding a pop of color can be just the thing to break up the monotony and add visual interest. This could be achieved through the strategic incorporation of accessories like scarves or jewelry.
Large sweater with sunglasses
While some people may think that just because it’s winter, they can skip out on protecting their eyes from the sun, we’re here to remind you that sunglasses are still a must-have accessory. In fact, this stylish ensemble featuring a large sweater and shades is proof that you can rock all-black attire while still prioritizing eye health. To ensure you’re getting the best protection, consider investing in a new pair of high-quality sunglasses.
Thermal top, jean jacket and high top Converse
The fusion of a thermal top, distressed denim jacket, and sleek high-top sneakers creates a effortlessly cool ensemble perfect for a casual first date or even a lively outdoor event. What was once considered an undergarment staple has surprisingly evolved into a fashion-forward choice for everyday wear. Case in point: this thermal top’s bold design, which pairs beautifully with a rugged jean jacket, statement-making kicks, and a thoughtful scattering of accessories.
Striped cardigan with “nature” earrings
The power of accessorizing is perfectly illustrated in this outfit. At first glance, the jeans, shirt, and shoes may seem unremarkable on their own. However, the addition of a long striped cardigan injects a touch of visual appeal into the overall look. To take it to the next level, consider pairing the cardigan with nature-inspired earrings, such as leaf-shaped studs, which add an organic touch that complements the textured cardigan nicely.
Pale pink clothing and rose gold accessories
While winter white may be a popular choice for brides-to-be, pale pink is another trendy hue that’s gaining attention in the wedding world. This softer alternative offers a romantic and festive touch, making it perfect for any season. When paired with rose gold accessories, the combination is both elegant and eye-catching. Whether you’re planning your big day or simply looking to add some glamour to your everyday style, pale pink and rose gold are a winning combination that’s sure to turn heads.
Maroon, grey and white
Imagine a triumvirate of hues that exudes opulence and sophistication – maroon, grey, and white. This majestic trifecta is nothing short of enchanting! We’re absolutely smitten with the idea of pairing those sumptuous maroon boots with this harmonious colour scheme. If you’re fortunate enough to stumble upon a pair in this exact shade, we can almost guarantee that strangers will be green with envy, asking ‘Where did you find those incredible boots?’ wherever your adventures take you.
Desert sage cardigan with dark brown riding boots
The desert sage hue has gained significant popularity recently. For those who share a fondness for khaki tones, incorporating a cardigan or even skinny jeans in this color into their wardrobe is a great idea. When paired with dark brown riding boots and a neutral-toned top, the overall look becomes stylish enough to even inspire mom’s fashion choices.
Grey with pastel accessories
One of our standout favorites in this feature is the visually striking combination of grey and pastel colors. The subtle contrast between the shirt’s grey hue and the vibrant infinity scarf creates a stunning visual effect that ‘pops’ against the neutral backdrop. We’re also fans of the bracelet, which adds a touch of elegance when paired with beaded hoop earrings. This effortlessly chic look is sure to exude a sense of ‘casual refinement’.
Sweatshirt, ripped jeans and fur booties
When embarking on a shopping spree, it’s essential to prioritize comfort and warmth. The combination of a sweatshirt, ripped jeans, and fur booties checks all the boxes. While we’re fans of distressed denim, it’s worth noting that adding leggings or tights underneath can make a big difference in terms of coziness. Furthermore, take a closer look at those fur booties – specifically, the thick laces or ribbon used as accents. These subtle details can greatly impact the overall aesthetic.
As you accessorize your outfit, remember to pay attention to these small but significant elements that can elevate your style.
“Ugly Christmas sweater” and UGGs
If you’re holding onto last year’s (or even the previous year’s) UGGs, don’t let them go just yet. When paired with your trusty ‘Ugly Christmas sweater’, these retro boots can be given new life. Simply add some leggings or skinny jeans and a knit hat to complete the look, and you’ll still exude a sense of stylish flair.
Grey top with silver and red accessories
When it comes to incorporating the spirit of Christmas into your outfit, red is a natural choice. However, to add some sophistication and balance out the boldness of this color, consider pairing it with grey and silver accents instead of green. Not only will this create a more subtle look, but it will also allow you to showcase other festive details like black-and-white striped scarves that add visual interest without overpowering your overall aesthetic.
Hot pink and black with animal print scarf
Making a statement with fashion is all about confidence. Imagine walking into a room and commanding attention – it’s exactly what hot pink is designed to do! To elevate this bold color from ‘little girl’ to ‘woman’, consider pairing it with an animal print scarf. The contrast between the bright, playful pink and the sophisticated, natural-inspired print creates a look that’s equal parts sassy and chic.
Two-tone layered look
The allure of layered clothing doesn’t have to mean sacrificing sex appeal. A striking two-toned effect, as seen in this outfit featuring burgundy and black hues, can add a sultry touch. Additionally, the addition of high-heeled knee boots elevates the overall look. If you’re searching for the perfect foundation piece, be sure to seize the opportunity when you find a fitted knit top like the one pictured – it’s truly irresistible.
