Five Must-Have Winter Wardrobe Items

When the weather starts to take a dive, you’ll be reaching for your wooly warmers and scarves. But, although winter is about covering up to stay warm, you still want to be stylish. Most importantly, you don’t want to buy loads of knitted items that take up space in your closet and never get worn. That’s why choosing winter items in a smart way will help you avoid fast fashion and instead have a stylish wardrobe that’ll last for many seasons.

Here are five important winter wardrobe staples::

Skinny Jeans

They really go with everything, and you’ll be able to dress them up or down. Skinny jeans are great because you can wear lots of layers on top of them without feeling like your shape is being covered up. They’re lean and sleek, preventing frumpiness from occurring. Best of all, they can be worn throughout the year.

Statement Jacket

Instead of buying lots of different jackets that you never wear, choose a statement jacket or coat based on the clothing that you already have. If it matches lots of different styles and items in your wardrobe, it’ll smoothly get you through the winter. Forget jackets or coats in neutral colors, though – a statement piece should be bold and full of personality! No one said winter should be boring.

High Boots

Warm and comfortable, knee-high boots are highly versatile during the winter. They give you the chance to wear summer items, such as skirts and culottes, without freezing to death. They’re also great over skinny jeans and thick leggings.

Neutral Winter Sweater

Winter’s all about layering your clothes, so you want items you wear to match well. Your winter sweater should be in a neutral tone that can work with everything in your wardrobe so it won’t stick out from underneath jackets and coats like a sore thumb. Make sure it’s super cozy otherwise it misses the point.

Turtleneck

It might seem old-fashioned or boring, but turtlenecks are trendy this year because they’re becoming super versatile while keeping you warm. Wear a thin turtleneck under a shirt for a casual yet trendy look, or wear a thick black turtleneck under a lacy dress. A brightly-coloured turtleneck is also trendy as you can wear it with other bold items to create at stylish, sizzling look this winter.
