Winter Clothing

‘Tis the season to layer. With dropping temperatures arises the need to opt for warmer fashion, cue the winter clothes. Winter clothes are designed and adapted to ensure warmth and style throughout the coldest season of the year. Form meets function with winter clothing that places an emphasis on texture, practicality, style and other factors. The primary function for winter fashion is to provide warmth thus warm clothing is central to winter fashion. Winter wear is all about layering. Build a good base for your winter outfits by finding the right bottoms. Think skirts that go from mini to maxi, reliable denim, tailored trousers and cargo pants amongst a variety of other styles. Key to a winter wardrobe is texture. This you can achieve by placing significant focus on hoodies, sweats and, the ultimate winter staple, knitwear. Not only does texture harmonise and balance an outfit for effortless styling, it softens the outfit while providing the wearer with warmth. This season, enjoy graphic hoodies and collegiate-inspired sweats for your off-duty and loungewear looks. Soft colour palettes like white, black and neutral polish up a chilled look while bright winter colours add a bold element to outfits. Knitwear is reimagined to bring you relaxed yet polished styles, collegiate-inspired styles and timeless retro styles. Jackets and coats make the outer layers of your outfits so it’s important to opt for statement jackets that elevate your outfits. Go understated with neutral blazers and classics like trench coats. Consider experimenting with textures like faux leather and denim. For casual outfits, look to bomber and collegiate-baseball jackets that make for great easy-to-style options on days you want the outfit to work for you. Utility styles remain popular amongst menswear, especially those with exteriors that are designed to adapt to any climate. Complete your outfit with must-have shoes of the season. Think versatile sneakers, fashionable boots and loafers that work in and outside the office. This season’s biggest trends include done-up denim, faux leather, knitwear, elevated classics and an extensive colour palette. Style your denim from head-to-toe with essential items like truckers and jeans or complement denim looks with faux leather for a play on texture. Create lush looks with knitwear trends that stretch from the realm of ‘quiet luxury’ to grandma/grandpa retro styles. Style with bottoms of your choice and layer a fleece, faux leather, wool or twill coat for a warm and fashionable outfit. Elevated classics like the crisp white shirt make a return to winter wardrobes and add sophistication to any look. Pair with trending wide-legged trousers for a chic look or play it down with another it-item of the season: cargo pants. Infuse trending jewel tones into your winter wardrobe with elegant evening dresses and skirts that pair well with boots. Loungewear remains a massive trend. Refine it by pairing sweatpants and hoodies with distinct jackets and coats and don’t forget to accessorise with essential winter extras like beanies, gloves and throw on a bag to take winter ensembles to the next level.
