Winter Wardrobe Essentials For Women

Turtlenecks To Tuck In

Tuckable turtlenecks are a winter wardrobe essential that never goes out of style. They are great layering pieces that always look chic. These turtlenecks will last you right from the beginning of the winter season to its end. The best part? They can be styled with anything and everything. Is a busy day full of meetings? Just pair this winter essential with woollen pleated pants. For a casual day out, wear the turtleneck with a pair of high-waisted jeans. Brunch date? Woollen skirts with the turtleneck to your rescue. Ensure that the turtleneck is made up of a soft cotton jersey or cashmere blend. This will keep you warm while making you look stylish in this foundational piece. 

Styl Tip: For a cleaner look, look for turtleneck bodysuits in cotton or cashmere. This will save you the hassle of constantly fixing your t-shirt while on the run.  

Colourful Knits As Winter Wardrobe Essentials

A simple way to add some life to the dreary winters is to add colourful knits to your wardrobe. Whether or not you have a capsule wardrobe, these are essentials you cannot miss out on. The times of dark clothes during the winter season are long gone. So, hurry up and get your colourful sweaters into your winter closet! Focus on knits with trending colours like lavender, luscious red, Valentino pink and the Pantone colour of the year Viva Magenta. These will provide a fresh, fun yet sophisticated look no matter how you choose to wear the knits. If you are wondering how to wear the colour of the year, read our blog for the Pantone colour for 2023. In addition to this, focus on natural, warm fabrics that will last you a long time. Our favourites are wool and cashmere for their durable yet luxurious experience. 

Warm Trousers

A pair of tailored trousers will never steer you wrong. For winter, switch your regular cotton pants for cosier and warmer ones made up of flannel or wool. A pair of pleated trousers are the best lower to have on your list of winter wardrobe essentials. They go well with boots and sweaters. Additionally, they will fit the dress code of a good eighty per cent of all your events. So, don’t miss out on these winter essentials for women. Invest in basic colours like grey, camel and black to get maximum use out of them. 

Neutral Knitwear

A must-have of every wardrobe, neutral knits are the building blocks of many outfits. Camel, grey and navy are winter powerhouses, especially when made with luxury fabrics. To avoid these staples from looking rather blah, buy ones with interesting details on them. Look for things like ribbed sleeves, fold-over collars or fun trims. These will take your staples from being basic to being fashionable. As with all elevated winter essentials, invest in organic, natural fabrics that will last you a lifetime. To find these indispensable neutrals, we suggest hunting on sites like Zara, Net-a-Porter and Uniqlo. You will find high-quality materials with durability in a reasonable price range. So, happy shopping!

Include The Classic Black Dress In Your List Of Winter Wardrobe Essentials

A classic that never goes out of style, the sophisticated black dress makes it on the list of winter wardrobe essentials for women. The LBD has lasted the test of time and is here to your rescue for all your fashion emergencies. This elevated staple is an ideal choice for those days when you need to go from desk to dinner. They also fit the cocktail night dress code along with a night out and about the town. It is impossible to skip this one on your list. For winter little black dresses, look for options in heavy fabrics like velvet, cashmere and silk. Additionally, include details like a longer length or sleeves to keep yourself warm. If you live in areas with a less dire winter season, a satin mini LBD is always a great option. Just switch up your accessories for every occasion and let your classic black dress shine. 

Oversized Outerwear

Few things are as effortless or as functional as oversized outerwear. Bulky coats are the best for layering because of their roomy structure. So look for boxy structures that can be worn with as few or as many layers as you require. The best thing about these coats? You can wear them with your formal suits as well as your sweats. A coat like this will pull each look together with ease.

Comfortable Jeans As Winter Wardrobe Essentials

No matter where you are, what season it is or what you’re doing, a pair of comfortable jeans always exist in your wardrobe. For the wintertime, look for thick, structured denim that can be worn with your boots and sneakers alike. These jeans will not only protect you from the bitter cold but also add a stylish casualness to any outfit effortlessly. 

Boots Are The Best Winter Wardrobe Essentials

No winter wardrobe essentials list is complete without boots. We firmly believe that you can never have too many of them during the chill. While it may be tempting to invest in boots with heels, we suggest also having some chic flats. In trend are boots with platforms and a doc marten style. For a formal look, hunt for sleek basic leather boots that end at the ankle. One pair of flat ones and one with a pencil heel will be just enough to tide you over. Chelsea boots will serve you both in and out of work. So will a pair of tall leather boots. 

Sweater Dresses

Sweater dresses are a great option for when you want to dress up but still stay warm. As with all winter wardrobe essentials, buy dresses in fabrics like wool and cashmere. The quiet luxury offers a rich look with very little effort. Invest in a colourful option for the festivities. Your boots will come in handy when wearing sweater dresses. Finally, wear cute patterned stockings for a complete look.
