The days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer, which means that some light autumn layering isn’t going to quite cut it anymore. Instead, you need to think about how you’re going to remain both fashionable and comfortable this winter. However, for those who love a little winter style, there are few times to show off that comfy fashion, so you might be looking forward to it a little. Either way, here are some of the staples you want to make sure you have in your wardrobe.
The winter coat
Of course, you’re going to need an excellent winter coat to help you bear the brunt of the season. There are different kinds of coats, such as the big heavy-duty puffer that can make you look extra snug (especially those who like oversized clothing) or you can invest in a more form-fitting wool coat that better highlights the femininity of your figure without exposing you to the freezing air.
The snug sweater
Even when you’re not going out in a full coat, you can still bring all of the cosy and comfy vibes with the most important of layers, the sweater. A chunky top layer, whether it’s from the range of knit sweaters out there or some pretty awesome zip sweaters, is going to be the main visual base layer for many a winter outfit. Of course, you want to make sure that it’s warm enough to do the job that it’s supposed to, too.
The winter boots
Aside from being vital for cold climates and icy ground, winter boots play a fantastic role in the average outfit, as well, due to their chunky and cute aesthetic. Choosing a good pair of winter boots is about making sure that they’re not just aesthetically appealing, but truly weatherproof, as well. You don’t want a pair of boots that surprises you by getting soaked through when you’re trying to make it through the rain or snow.
The wool bodysuit
It’s not part of the average winter fashion lineup but that’s mostly because it spends the entire time being invisible. However, a good woolly bodysuit is going to play a huge role in keeping you warm. It’s the layer that goes beneath the rest. Making sure that your innermost layer is designed to retain warmth as best as possible lets you experiment a little more with the outer layers. You can wear looser or lighter tops but still stay snug and warm.
All of the scarves
While the bodysuit might be primarily for function, a host of scarves can play the biggest role in determining your aesthetic. Scarves are going to be your go-to accessory for the season, not only because they keep you warm, but they allow you to add a variety of different flourishes to the same coats or sweaters, so you can keep looking fresh even if you’re wearing mostly the same outfit.
Winter style is unique and you only get to wear it for a relatively short time a year. Make sure you invest in the staples above so you’re not left out in the cold.
