With mornings getting darker, chillier and fall coming to an end and winter drawing closer it is almost difficult to get out of bed, let alone think about what to wear! Right? But winter styling can be really fun and while some people perceive it as a challenge, others see it as an opportunity.
While it is easy to bundle up and stay warm and cut down on fashion during winters, if you know to play around with layers, textures and gorgeous colors – it’s already a win-win for you! So, to make it sorted for you we have ten essential pieces that will keep you cozy, warm, and stylish – all at the same time.
1) A Basic White Sweater
A classic sweater will never go out of style because they are adorable and comfortable. Chunky knits and cashmere pullovers are the only two styles of sweaters to have entered the Winter Hall of Fame as “timeless” pieces. A pullover cuts a stunningly feminine form, while an enormous, chunky knit is forgiving and cosy. Additionally, white is a timeless colour that looks good on most women. It is surely, a must-have in your winter closet.
2) A Sweatshirt
Sweaters are great, but they may also be a little difficult to maintain. Many sweaters must only be dry cleaned, which is unsustainable. They still need a little additional care in the laundry room, such as hand washing or air drying. So, if you don’t like sweaters, add a stylish sweatshirt to your collection of winter essentials. Cut-off sweatshirts are becoming more and more popular. Although it has the weight and warmth of a sweater, these kinds of sweatshirt looks like a long sleeve t-shirt. Another option is a somewhat oversized crewneck that you may match with a black skirt, pair of jeans, or wide-leg trousers.
3) A Beige Blazer
This has always been a timeless piece in any autumn-winter closet! You could go for a semi-formal one to go with one of those more casual outfits. Otherwise, you can always opt for a statement piece and dress it up or down according to your preference. But sticking to a neutral color like beige will help you create many classic looks with a single piece.
4) A beautiful Scarf
Any winter outfit can be levelled up with a stylish and simple scarf, and the bigger, the better! The styling options with this cold-weather item are endless. You may, for instance, carelessly toss it over your shoulders or, alternatively, wrap it several times to stay warm and cosy.
So, have fun with your scarves by selecting colourful hues, unique patterns, and textured fabrics to help you put together an unusual ensemble. They enhance even the most plain outfits, keep your neck warm, are excellent layering accessories, and significantly improve your styling abilities. We feel, a scarf is an absolute necessity for your winter closet!!
5) A Sweater Dress
Sweater dresses are quite stylish and simple to put together an outfit with. Sweater dresses provide all the warmth you need on frigid winter days while maintaining the femininity of a dress. Choose a silhouette that best reflects your personal style, whether it’s tight and form-fitting or loose with a wraparound waist. There are multiple ways to wear sweater dresses. A white or ivory sweater dress is a great choice. But you can always choose a neutral colour like camel, brown, or black that will look gorgeous with a pair of black tights and boots if you already have a closet full of traditional white sweaters.
6) A pair of Boots
Boots are a given in cold weather! But various boot designs go in and out of favour. Thigh-high boots are fashionable certain years whereas low booties are not. So how can you pick the boots that will last the longest? Avoid fashion trends and get weatherproof boots. Choose neutrals and boots that reflect your individual sense of style. Chelsea boots are a winter and fall wardrobe staple. I strongly advise a Chelsea style boot if you’re seeking for a timeless go-to footwear. Ankle-high Chelsea boots with an elastic side panel to make them simpler to put on and take off. They have virtually maintained their appeal since the Victorian era, when they first appeared.
7) Plaid Trousers
Women wishing to make a statement must own a pair of good plaid pants. In fact, they’re the best method to give an outfit style and personality. The durability of plaid pants has been proven, and they are sure to remain relevant in any winter wardrobe.
A pair of good quality checkered pants also has the advantage of working equally as well with sneakers and a hoodie as they do with pumps and a sharp button-down. They not only instantly make you feel like a cool chick, but they are also perfect for the office. Whether you have a preppy or a grunge aesthetic, you need a pair of plaid pants for the winter.
8) A Turtle neck
A lightweight turtleneck is the underlayer of all underlayers if you’re as obsessed with layering as us! It serves as both a heat protection and a fashion need. For a super-sleek and stylish appearance, layer it with sweaters, a sleeveless dress, or just by itself (perhaps with some high-waisted jeans). This is undoubtedly the most adaptable item in anyone’s winter wardrobe. By making an investment in a turtleneck, you can keep your neck warm and stylish all winter long!
9) A Puffer Jacket
When it’s chilly outside, everyone needs a decent puffer jacket for running errands and remaining warm. Look for a packable, water-resistant down option if you travel frequently or reside somewhere with bitterly cold temperatures. A thin quilted puffer or even a small puffer would do if you reside in a more temperate location.
10) Beanies
Beanies are so functional, keeping your head warm while lending a classy (or cute!) look to your winter outfits, depending on the style you choose. Go for a pom beanie if you like a cute, laid back look, or opt for a simple ribbed or cashmere beanie if the pom isn’t your style.
With these ten simple winter essentials we hope you are ready to style and slay throughout the season! Isn’t staying warm and stylish much easier than it sounds? So, head out and shop for your essentials today.
