When these colder days come and the first thing you do, waking up, is check the weather, it seems that there is no better thing to do than to curl up and stay in bed or on the sofa, snuggled under your quilt!

But winter is a wonderful season and with the proper preparation you can live it to the maximum and take advantage of all the great things that come with it! So, wear your gloves, put your hands on the right essentials and you will feel cosy; indoors or outdoors!

The Women’s Winter Essentials

What is also great — concerning winter outfits at least — is the fashion gift of layering! Layer it well and the ways you will look stylish in your winter clothes will be multiplied by each piece.

Just by using the winter’s basics and essentials like coats, puffer jackets, thicker jeans, fleece athleisure joggers, cool knitwear, warm leggings, eternal Chinos & Khakis, overshirts, and by adding some — also essential and necessary — accessories like scarfs, hats, caps and gloves, you will feel so fashionable that in the end you will be begging for the cold to stay a bit longer! With such wonderful and multi-layered outfits, who needs summer?

This Winter’s Trends and Tendencies

This winter’s trends and tendencies are so varied that they will fit in most people’s style (and even your winter’s capsule wardrobe)! From black, goth dark outfits, to clothes made with all-inclusive rainbow-coloured fabrics and from shirts (really long shirts) and overshirts to leather biker jackets, there should be no complaints. And of course, with the comeback of classic — but revisited — items like the Khaki trousers, it will be more than easy to create the best and most in-style women’s winter outfits.

So, what should women wear during this winter to amp up their stylish outfits? Let’s see,

10 Fashionable Winter Styles

1. The Coat and Trench Smart Style

If one item screams winter like no other this is the coat! Mainly the long ones! You can get them slim-fit or ride on the oversized trend (with a belt for those really cold days). A classic colour is preferable for a capsule winter wardrobe (black, blue, beige or white) but feel free to explore more vibrant options if you feel like it!

It doesn’t matter if you pick a thick wool weave or a lighter gabardine, your coat will always be the crowning of your smartest and warmest winter outfits! This winter, the classic trench coat continues to be one of the main trends!

2. The Blazer Style

At some point you will take off your coat and your wonderful blazer will emerge! Blazers are comfortable and an excellent, easy-to-combine choice…even with your new pair of Women’s Joggers! Right now, wide and big-shouldered black Blazers are just…must!

3. The Shirt Style

Forget your knitwear, your cardigans and your hoodies for a moment (even though we know it’s difficult!), but shirts are also among the most all-around players when it comes to the creation of casual or smart casual outfits! The reason is simple! You can take a formal shirt and dress it down, use it as an added layer, as an overshirt or you can even wear it with an Adidas tracksuit. You could also opt for a plaid one and your workwear outfit will instantly become less monotonous!

4. The Wintery (and smart) Tracksuit Style

Let’s be honest. Who can say No to an impeccable formal attire? But…who’s not longing to slip into the most elegant athleisure outfit? Flexibility and agility are more flexible and agile than they ever were. Get an elegant tracksuit and you will find it very difficult to go back to anything that is not equally comfortable! (Add a black blazer or a trench coat on top of your hoodie, and you will instantly have a stylish and cool winter outfit.

5. The preppy Style

Presidents adopted it, university students adopted it, dockers, island hoppers, mountaineers, granddads at Margate and young Liverpudlians have adopted it; why shouldn’t you? The preppy is the style, if a classical yet modern and cool approach to fashion and life is what you are looking for! Get your Chinos, your knitwear and herringbone cardigans and vests, get your varsity jackets, your grey, green and blue sweaters, get your smart beanies and go preppy! It is the way to build a trendy but timeless winter wardrobe.

6. The Khaki Style

1959, 1977, 1983, 1995, 2008 or 2023, the Khakis are always in-style! This winter though, they come in various — and new — cuts and forms! Check them out, wear them with anything you want, put on your favourite coloured puffer and go out!

7. The Leather or Bomber Jacket Style

You might have an oversized black tracksuit on or black leggings. You might have chosen a midi skirt, a white shirt and a red scarf. You might be strolling in a pair of old Cargos filled with holes or in a pair of boyfriend jeans. Whatever you choose to wear put on a leather or a bomber jacket! This winter, dress like a biker even if you drive a car or walk to the bus!

8. The Denim Style

A white, classic t-shirt and a denim shirt for the office. A pair of high waisted jeans and a striped navy knit, for the cool French look. A denim trucker jacket below a blue coat for the low temperatures or a denim chore jacket and a rocky mountain-type puffer for a more outdoorsy look! It is de-nim, it is the de-best!

9. The Comfy Style

Baggy cargos, elastic Chinos, wide thick cotton or wool pants and knit co-ords;, rainbow-coloured long dresses and snugly faux fur coats, bombers and puffer coats. They are comfy, cosy and easy to combine. Casual or more formal, they will always make you feel safe!

10. (There is no style like) The accessorized style

Every elegant style, every comfortable outfit carries its own distinct grace and character. This is what adding yourself to the tendencies and fashion suggestions does! And there is no better way of doing it, than by choosing and using the right accessories! It is this one factor that will personalise your looks like none other. How you will wear a cap or a hat, how you are going to tie your scarf or just opting for the right bag that will permit you walk into the cold weather easier — especially if you can fit in it all the necessary; gloves, beanies, scarfs, etc. — be it a stylish backpack or a classic tote bag. Remember accessories are the best connectors between style and practicality!

Winter Style and Sustainability

As time goes by, sustainability, except for being more present in our lives and societies, evolves and transforms ceaselessly and rapidly. The fashion industry’s efforts towards eco-aware methods and choices are growing and are getting not just more relevant but more revolutionary. Big and iconic fashion brands like Dockers® or smaller, independent ones like Cossac, do their best to save all types of resources, reduce negative impact and produce the best garments naturally and ethically!

Sustainability is ultimately another way to say peaceful, prosperous life! It begins when we get up in the morning but it never leaves us. To be deeply and truly sustainable is not only necessary, but very easy! Small changes and tiny decisions can lead to huge differences. This is why the creation of a minimalist, capsule wardrobe is the best choice fashion-wise and environmentally wise!

Opt for top-quality essentials, get all the staples you need in order to be able to create the best outfits effortlessly and give away anything and everything you don’t use!

To decide what you really like, to wear what you really want and to buy what you really need, will not only guarantee a minimalist and complete winter capsule wardrobe for 2023, but will make our world a warm sanctuary forever, for every-body and every-being; animals, plants, resources and all the wonderful colours that this wonderful planet radiates every peewee, lively moment!
