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).

Now that I’ve finally accepted that short sleeves just aren’t going to cut it in New York City between January and March, I’ve been scouring the net for the warm winter gear that everyone is wearing.

If you’re looking to add some fresh pieces to your winter wardrobe, we’ve rounded up some of the hottest trends you’ll see from your favorite brands. Bundle up!

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.

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.
