Well, you can love or hate it, but not ignore the impact that fashion makes in this highly competitive world.
With social media offering tons of inspiration to find the right aesthetic that matches your personality, this winter comes with new trends that are here to stay. Let us see what’s in store for us this autumn, from all the sweatshirts, trench coats, and scarves that have made their way to the top.
Here are 15 winter trends that are here to make a statement and stay for long!
- JUST LAYER IT LIKE A BOSS
Search for winters on your Pinterest or Google feed and all you see are piled up sweaters, jackets, and puffers. Layering is just never out of style and can hike up your fashion game if done right getting the shivering cold out of your body too (An extra practical bonus there)! Finding the right pieces of clothes and accessories to layer discretely yet forming a great combination can create great outfits doing no destruction to your look. A little peek-a-boo of interesting prints or stripes from beneath your coat can spice up your ensemble.
Let me suggest you wearing a turtleneck top layered over by a sweater and then by a leather coat, that’s just class right there! Or a flannel and a puffer vest over it to make it wintery yet casual as it can? Getting a denim overcoat on some random sports hoodie can elevate your character away! These are just a few; you still can figure out the right layering and make the cake with all the flavors you love!
- GET CREATIVE WITH COLOR & TEXTURE
Well, in winters, it just gets as plain and neutral as it can get. Let me tell you this incredible tip, a splash of color can enlighten your persona to another level. A pinch of creativity with some blue or green stripes or a colorful belt pouch in a vibrant shade is all that takes to add that needed spark to your winter outfit. Or even play with textures, switch between ribbed or cable-knit sweaters, faux fur or leather coats, pants, short skirts, or even quilted jackets. Go beyond the normal, with some floral prints or pastel hues, and bring the summer in the winter!
- NO NUMB FOOT WITH BOOTS
Winters are your sign to get that pair of boots out from your wardrobe for these over-the-knee marvels can up your fashion game just in a snap. With a short skirt or dress that stands just above the boot line or tight leggings of a single color, you’re ready to take it fashion-forward. Be the showstopper of your life even with light-hued jeans or an elegant jumper with them, for cold weather is not an excuse to look low! Couple them with thick woolen socks to stay away from chilled frostbite.
Here’s what we recommend, the pointed toe Acne Jensen boots that match any material worn above or layered, or you may go for the pocket-friendly option if you’re running on a low budget. If needed, get one with pointed toes to make it one step above graceful, and an all-black outfit with boots can be a life savior. Fashion knows no economy, and hence is everyone’s cup of tea!
- NO TO COTTON, YES TO WOOL!
No offense, cotton is incredible with its breathability and comfort but with winters, it’s always a big no. With the chill in the air, cotton often retains the moisture and makes it all damp in the cold season. As the snow and cold wind onsets, get all of those flannel shirts, polyester pants, and college corduroy clothes back into your fall wardrobe. If you’ve got an alternative, stay away from denim too, we would say.
Then what is the right material to depend on? Wool, with no second thoughts! It keeps you warm and rightly dry for the winters. A little of Merino or Cashmere wouldn’t be a bad choice too for base layers and cardigans or beanies respectively.
- THE HAT-COAT MATCH
With you being covered from head to toe, your hats are what attracts eyes the first and hence is worth the investment. Match your hat, cap, or your beanie with the shade of your coat or sweater and keep your whole body warm as the signals begin from your head. Often, you might be dressed well for a specific occasion, but one hat or the casual winter cap puts everything in a big mess. Having a complimenting head accessory to your coat can make your chic ensemble take an intentional spike.
If you ask me, I would go for the ear-covering ones on chill days and a woolen hat in a wide-brimmed fashion or a classic fedora on other comparatively chill-free days. Here’s something I fell in love with and you will too, an accessory that you can trust.

- ACE THE SCARF GAME
When your outfit demands it or not, a scarf or neckpiece can just elevate the purpose of shielding your body from the cold and enhance your overall look. Make it a layer intentionally, one in woolen or faux fur to look the absolute chic of the autumn season. On not-so-cold days, you might feel better having plaid blanket scarves, economic and classy. Another benefit of having a scarf on is to reduce sweating caused by the piling of sweatshirts and coats; you could easily skip one!
Get them from your wardrobe, all kinds of them, and wrap them around your neck, wear it on your head in the retro fashion, wrap it around your clothes if it’s lengthier, or even knot it down on your shoulders.
- GET YOUR HEMLINES TRIMMED
Not a big fashion twist, but a very important fact to be taken note of. Your hemlines are all that keep you confidently walking in the cold outdoors. You do not want saggy hemlines dragging across the streets and floors taking up all the dirt and moisture. It can turn out to be the most unstylish factor ever, hence make sure to have all your hemlines tailored to your height and boot wedges.
- THE LEATHER LATHER
You can’t have a winter wardrobe complete without the elegant and evergreen leather jackets! Keeping you warm and classy in winters, these can never go out of style and can be a great fashion idea all around the year too if styled appropriately. Goes with anything, be it jeans, skirts, leggings, or floral printed dresses, it can be a blessing in disguise. Catch the trend with a hoodie or a jumper beneath to make it casual and cool or blend it with a formal shirt or a t-shirt to make you ready for work and hustle. Couple them with a tint of black, white, or camel and look the absolute gentlemen or diva on the street!
Leather jackets are well and good when in the right size and no two people get it fit on a single piece. Get yours from the LeatherCult offering rightly fitting leather jackets in every color and design. Be aware of the false faux leather ones, get an original one, put your buttons up, and leave your sleeves down; that’s winter-ready!
- SMELL GOOD, LOOK GOOD!
No outfit is wholesome and complete without the right fragrance. Spray a little of your favorite winter perfume preferably Eau De Parfum along the powdery musk range, woody, spicy, or sensually gourmand scents.
Our recommendations would be Florentina Powdery Musk, Tom Ford Black Orchid, Hermes Elixir, or Louis Breton L Homme! All of these incredible works in keeping you warm and cozy and are a must-buy to fill up your winter closet!
- BELT IT TIGHT
Ah, yes, it doesn’t help you in getting warm but can change the direction of your outfit completely. The boring same winter coat every day can make the process of getting ready and going out a tedious task, but with a coupled belt to alter your outfit and fashion score just sees a rising graph. With layers over layers, a belt on your waist can define your body silhouette better and give it a new life with same old clothes. Wear the same coat with different belts and watch compliments pouring in as if you’ve worn a completely different outfit the day.
With coats that have invisible buttons, belts of the same hue work brilliantly being a safer fashion style. If you are an adventure in yourself, you may opt for contrasting shades. Our recommendation would be the ever-classic Michael Kors masterpiece with any basic faux fur coats; just a pure treat in motion you will turn to be!
