Winter Fashion Trends You Need On Your Radar Now

The temps may be going down, but the fashions are heating up!

The only thing that helps ease the blow of cold winter months for me is the promise of shopping for new winter clothes and shoes. There’s nothing I love more than adding new sweaters, hats and boots to my collection (at least until I can pull out all of the sundresses, sandals and shorts when summer rolls around again).

My teenage self couldn’t be more excited that this trend is coming back. I love these baggy cargo pants from Zara that are stylish enough for the office, yet comfortable enough to wear all day long.

These Pilcro Parachute Cargo Pants from Anthropologie are a stylish twist on one of my favorite 90s styles. All that’s missing is a skateboard.

Faux Fur

This Oversized Faux Fur Trench from Alo Yoga works just well over a dress and heels or a hoodie and sweats. Throw it on before you head out into the cold and look winter chic without trying.

Platform Boots

With this suede platform knee boot from ASOS, you can keep your skirts on rotation all winter long. The side zip closure makes them easy to put on and take off. And the round toe, platform sole and high block heel give you all of the height with even more comfort.

Get all of the glam with none of the guilt with these high rise faux leather vintage slim pants from Gap that are sure to make a statement.

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you have to drown yourself in drab. If you’re looking to make a statement with color, check out this pair of faux leather pants from Abercrombie that comes in six color choices.

Cropped Sweaters

The weather outside may be frightful, but this winter, you may be hard pressed to find a sweater that hits below the waistline. We love this neon cropped sweater from Zara that is the perfect top for a pair of wide-legged pants.

If you think it’s impossible to be sexy and comfortable at the same time, think again. I love everything about the open-back and twisted detail in this cropped sweater top from Lulu’s.

Double Breasted Jackets

The next time you get ready to suit up, try this double breasted slim fit blazer from Zara. You can dress up without worrying about a tie.

Channel your inner Carlton Banks with this lambswool sweater vest from Brooks Brothers. The classic argyle pattern never goes out of style.
