As you know, you need to prepare a sleigh in the summer (or at least in the fall). Therefore, now we will start preparing our winter wardrobe in accordance with the latest.

Our winter wardrobe will consist of things that meet three main criteria: relevance, seasonality (things must be warm), originality.
So, fashionable winter will consist of the following things.

Tweed suits

Classics can also be trendy. This season, many designers have relied on wisely investing clients' funds in the respectable chic of classic suits.
What to wear with tweed suits? To make the set highly relevant, we will combine them with fashionable additions: removable armbands, fur accessories, large jewelry, etc.

Oval trousers

Pants that have extra volume at the hips and are tapered at the hem are a must-have in your wardrobe this winter.
We will wear them with classic jackets, fur vests, blouses and tops with a complex cut.

Maxi dresses

The trend of wearing maxi dresses has migrated from the spring-summer season to the autumn-winter season. Floor-length dresses can be goddess style (with asymmetrical draperies) or minimalist, daytime or evening (like the Donna Karan dress with an open back).
It is fashionable to wear maxi dresses with large jewelry and classic shoes. But there are no rules without exceptions: you can create an interesting casual look by wearing with such a dress... boots that are not fully laced (like Haider Ackermann).

Knee-high boots

They can be of different lengths, colors and decorations. The most popular are stocking boots and high-heeled boots.
We will wear them not only with miniskirts (a rather banal option for real fashionistas), but also with oval trousers, as well as dresses and narrow skirts up to the middle or just above the knee.

Fur jacket

When shopping for outerwear for the winter, give preference to a small jacket made of long-pile fur (or materials that imitate fur, such as feathers).
You can wear such a jacket with almost anything (outerwear should be universal). The only exceptions are full skirts.

Armbands and other fur accessories

Oversleeves, art O ly, removable collars and scarves are undoubted must-haves this winter. They can be not only fur, but also knitted or leather. However, in winter we will give preference to additions made of fur, because it is warm, stylish and versatile (you can also create evening looks with fur details).
We will wear them with tweed suits, maxi dresses and fine knit tops.

Very often, in winter, many women try to hide behind voluminous down jackets and fur coats, preferring warmth and comfort to stylish new items. That’s right, but the arrival of winter is not yet a reason to forget about style, because if you want, it’s not at all difficult to look attractive and bright at any time of the year.

What clothing styles are suitable for winter?

Let's look at several styles that can be successfully used when selecting new parts of your winter wardrobe and creating original looks.

On every day

To create insulated winter sets directly for everyday wear, the casual style is considered the best, characterized by the use of soft and comfortable fabrics, for example, knitwear, cotton, cashmere and wool, combined with a comfortable and practical cut of clothing. Casual allows for multi-layered details and the use of all kinds of accessories. The main rule of this style is convenience, naturalness and lack of shockingness.

In addition to casual, you should also pay attention to the relaxed oversize style. It is simply ideal for the autumn-winter period, as it involves wearing things with a voluminous, sometimes even baggy cut made from cashmere, natural wool, tweed, and drape. For the oversized style, the use of large knitting is important. Preferred colors are white, beige, blue, gray, black.

For evening

Evening fashion in winter dictates its own rules. For her, it is important to use warmer and denser fabrics, cut dresses with long sleeves and necklines. The length of the skirt is preferably midi or maxi. If such closeness seems unacceptable to you, then you can choose models with bare shoulders or back or with a deep V-shaped neckline and complement them with a fur cape, shawl, stole or boa. The color scheme when choosing an evening outfit is striking in its variety of shades: red, fuchsia, black, white, cream, silver, gold, blue, green, wine. Trendy fabrics: velvet, chiffon, lace or fine knitwear.

If the dress code of the event requires a more restrained style, then when creating an image you can take a regular black dress and complement it with a contrasting ribbon at the waist, a brooch or a luxurious necklace and bracelet.

To work

As in any other season, to create a stylish look for work, a business style is suitable, characterized by strict conservative boundaries, but welcoming all sorts of discreet additions in the form of a play of color, texture and the use of discreet, sophisticated accessories. In winter business style models, preference is most often given to natural fabrics: tweed, wool, cashmere, jersey, cotton, silk. Their nobility is emphasized by different shades of white, gray, black, blue, green, brown and peach.

The ideal choice for a stylish winter at the office would be an elegant wool suit or a discreet knitted sheath dress combined with a string of pearls or a neckerchief.

Winter wardrobe colors

Most often, when choosing outerwear for a winter wardrobe, women prefer subdued dark tones, as this is quite practical. But at the same time, no one canceled bright colors. You can add color to your winter look by complementing it with a headdress of an interesting style in a bright color or a catchy scarf, shawl, mittens, or gloves. You can also set the right mood for your look with the right shoes in combination with a handbag.

As for colors, the most popular in winter at all times will remain white, black, red, burgundy, pastel beige, gray, blue, green and dark blue.

Outerwear

The choice of outerwear largely depends on your daily lifestyle and circumstances. If you can afford to wear a fur coat, this is the most ideal option for such a cold season. Natural fur will warm and decorate any woman, especially since it will never go out of fashion. Don't like natural fur? Wear artificial ones, which recently are not inferior in appearance and quality to natural ones.

For damper and more unstable weather, down jackets, which come in many styles, can be an alternative to a fur coat. Depending on the style, you can choose a short jacket or a long coat, a fitted or straight model, plain or with an original print.

If you want to avoid the increase in shape that a blown down jacket can provide, turn your attention to quilted and fitted models of thin down jackets with light synthetic fillings.

Winter suits, which have migrated into modern everyday fashion from the ski slopes, are considered a rather convenient option for winter. They provide remarkable freedom of movement and excellent protection from the cold, thanks to the use of modern lightweight and breathable materials and fillers. Any active fashionista will be able to choose the desired model from a variety of styles and colors.

A parka jacket is an ideal choice for a cold winter. This military-style item is characterized by a simple cut, the absence of decorative elements and the use of rough materials, but thanks to this, the parka perfectly protects against the cold even in windy weather and is quite comfortable for daily wear. Its distinctive features are a zipper along the entire length of the product and the presence of drawstrings that tighten the jacket at the belt, cuffs and hemline.

Fans of elegant clothing should opt for an insulated coat. It doesn’t matter which model you choose – long or short, fitted or straight, with a hood or fur collar, with a voluminous belt, patterns or embroidery – winter coats can be a good option for everyday wear, the main thing is that you feel warm and comfortable in it. Oversize coats have become most popular lately.

And we should not forget about natural and artificial sheepskin coats, although recently this type of outerwear is in less demand, as it is quite heavy, especially if you choose long models.

But what cannot be denied is the amazing ability of sheepskin coats to retain heat even in severe frosts.

Underwear

Here, the choice of winter wardrobe also largely depends on your lifestyle. But, despite the circumstances, a woman’s winter wardrobe should include several comfortable sweaters of different styles, insulated trousers of a classic cut, a pencil skirt made of thick fabric just below the knee, a comfortable pullover, thick jeans, a warm knitted dress or sweater dress.

If you have tights, leggings, skinny pants or tight jeans in your wardrobe, then in winter it is better to wear them with an elongated flannel shirt or an oversized sweater under sneakers, Timberlands, Uggs or knee-high boots. A parka jacket may be suitable as outerwear, and a voluminous scarf and dark glasses will help complement the look.

When choosing jeans in winter, you should give preference to wider models of dark denim. They can be worn with all kinds of sweatshirts, shirts and knitted sweaters in the Scandinavian style. A combination of jeans with a turtleneck and a fur vest will look no less impressive. Shoes should be chosen depending on the style and circumstances.

A long skirt combined with a short sheepskin coat and low-top boots can be a wonderful outfit for walking in winter.

But an a-line skirt, a short dress and elegant shorts will look great with thick leg warmers or knee socks, over thin nylon tights. For this look, you can wear an oversize knee-length coat with voluminous leather boots or high boots.

Tights of any shade with a vertical pattern will help emphasize the length of your legs. It is considered correct to choose tights that perfectly match the color of the shoes and are one or two shades lighter or darker than the dress or skirt. But if you wish, you can experiment and play with colors, for example, choosing tights to match your scarf or handbag.

To protect yourself from the cold, try to wear tights with a density of more than 100 den, containing woolen threads, cotton, microfiber, cotton and lycra.

If the office dress code allows the wearing of oversized trousers, it is better to combine them with elegant fitted shirts and heeled ankle boots. Ideally, for an office employee in the winter, a sheath dress complete with a knitted cardigan and knee-high boots, a pencil skirt with a tight-fitting cowl neck sweater, as well as classic wool suits would be perfect.

Shoes

Warmth and stability are the main requirement for winter boots. High, insulated boots up to the knee and higher with a stable heel or, without it at all, are popular. Also for the winter, you can choose comfortable and warm ugg boots or thermal boots, the colors and cut of which have recently come in a wide variety.

In winter, wear fairly spacious shoes with thick soles to avoid freezing; in this regard, moon boots have become especially popular lately. They have a rather interesting, even futuristic appearance, repeating the shape of astronauts' shoes, but what cannot be taken away from them is their amazing ability to retain heat even at temperatures down to -40 degrees.

By choosing stylish Timberlands or insulated cowboy boots for the winter under a parka jacket, you will definitely not go wrong and will always look both fashionable and comfortable.

Accessories

A must-have for any winter season are fur or fur-decorated accessories: hats, mittens, muffs, collars and handbags; they always look trendy.

When choosing a headdress, you should first of all be guided by your style; fortunately, the choice of styles at the moment is quite large, from cashmere berets and knitted bonnets to original jockey hats and fur earflaps. If you don't like hats, wear winter headphones or scarves.

A separate section should be devoted to the topic of how to wear scarves. When choosing a scarf, the first thing you should pay attention to is the material, for example, natural wool, angora or cashmere. Secondly, you should decide on the color and pattern of the product. Try to choose a scarf that contrasts so that it looks advantageous in combination with outerwear, but its pattern does not spoil the overall ensemble. Ideally, the scarf pattern should not match the pattern on the sweater or dress. Thirdly, decide on the shape, for example, a voluminous scarf is perfect under a coat with a turn-down collar, and it is better to choose a smooth but wide scarf under a jacket with a stand-up collar. Separately, it should be noted that the voluminous scarf-collar can successfully replace even a headdress or hood without damaging the hairstyle.

Sometimes an original tied scarf or neckerchief can easily compete with decorative accessories.

Sometimes on snowy, sunny days in winter you can't do without sunglasses. Try to choose models with a slight tint or with colored glasses in rough and thick frames.

Time flies so quickly that you don’t even have time to choose/change your wardrobe. Every new season you want to look stylish, regardless of the time of year. What to wear in winter 2017 if you want to add style, zest and novelty to your image?
