1. Shearling Outerwear
When it's time to break out your coziest apparel, a shearling coat or jacket is likely the softest outerwear choice for colder weather—and it's super stylish too. Opt for fuzzy details along the collar, cuffs and bodice, or embrace full-on cozy with an allover shearling style.
2. Cold Weather Activewear
You don't have to take a break from wellness when it's freezing out. To keep your fitness routine on track (and your style on point), refresh your workout wardrobe with garments that will keep you warm while on the move, like insulated puffy jackets and moisture-wicking layers.
3. Statement Sweaters
When beloved sweaters are back in rotation, you'll want to update your collection with a few standout pieces. We're loving prints that pop both on camera and IRL, whether that's a festive Fair Isle motif or a classic plaid.
4. Wool Coat
A classic wool coat adds an air of sophistication to any outfit and will remain in style forever. For easy pairing with the rest of your clothes, stick to a neutral color such as camel, black or navy.
5. Puffer Jacket
While a classic wool coat is undeniably chic, some moments call for a layer that's a bit more casual. Cue the puffer jacket, a winter clothing essential you can wear every day. A short puffer jacket is great for mild winters, and a long puffer coat will keep you toasty in colder climates.
6. Layering Shirts
Layering tees and long-sleeve tops are perhaps one of the most underrated winter essentials for women. They add extra warmth in cold temps, offer an additional layer of comfort and can even provide a fun pop of color or pattern to your outfit.
7. Loungewear
We often think about buying warm clothes to be worn out of the house, but comfortable at-home loungewear shouldn't be forgotten. Treat yourself to a cozy set or two so you can look and feel great while you snuggle up by the fire.
8. Denim
You can wear jeans all year long, but this winter essential is one you'll turn to repeatedly once cold weather arrives. A pair of skinny jeans can be tucked into tall boots, and a wide-leg style along with a fitted top is the perfect play on proportion and style. Keep things timeless and chic by avoiding rips or showy detailing.
9. Leggings
One of the most versatile winter clothing items to have on hand, leggings can be styled many ways. Go the athleisure route by pairing them with sneakers and a hoodie, or dress them up with booties and a long sweater.
10. Sweatshirts
Along with leggings, sweatshirts are a winter favorite that'll earn their keep in your closet. Style them with jeans for simple, everyday winter outfits, or elevate them underneath an oversized blazer or chic coat.
11. Socks & Tights
Every winter wardrobe needs a selection of socks and tights at the ready. Keep a variety on hand, like tall socks to wear under boots, thick tights to pair with dresses, short socks for booties and patterned sheer tights for a playful touch.
