Women's Winter Fashion Guide
With the change of each season comes new trends and styles. It can be exciting to see the latest fashions coming in and start a shopping spree, planning out your new look for the next few months! However, as we all know, many of the items we feel like we need to buy in the moment end up just being passing fads, we might wear a piece once or twice, and then it ends up in the back of our wardrobe and eventually in a charity shop or in the bin. We are all trying hard to shop more sustainably, but it can be difficult and time consuming to figure out what trends are here to stay. To help you out this winter, here are some classic trends that are sure to stick around for a while, so you can be confident in planning your winter wardrobe in the most sustainable way possible.
Oversized Scarf
A good scarf is a classic for any winter wardrobe, and the bigger the better. They make you look and feel like the lead actress in a Christmas rom-com, while also keeping your face warm and protected. This is one of those items, like socks or gloves, that it’s always good to spend a bit extra on for a luxury product, because if the item is high-quality, you can be sure that you will be able to wear it over and over again.
Midi Dresses and Skirts
Skirts aren’t always an obvious pick for the colder months, but styled correctly help you find that perfect middle point between warm and fashionable. A midi length skit paired with boots, thermal tights, and thick socks is going to be an iconic January walk look in 2025.
Cardigans
Feels like another obvious essential piece, but they are so often over-looked. A cardigan is perfect for layering with any outfit, as they are so versatile. Chunky and over-sized cardigans have been popular for a while now, and for good reason. A good cardigan is one of those items that everyone should own at least one of, and always be excited to bring out of the wardrobe when the temperature begins to drop.
Leg Warmers
We are so happy to see these coming back into fashion. So, few items both keep you warm and add this level of style to your look. Paired with boots, thick tights, and a skirt or shorts, leg warmers are such an iconic winter accessory not to be overlooked this year.
Sheepskin Boots
Of course they don’t have to be real sheepskin. There are many vegan alternatives if you are looking for a more eco-friendly and sustainable option. Such as these from New Orchard, sold by immaculate vegan.
Leather
Again, both real and fake leather such as vinyl are trending this winter. The long leather trench was big over autumn, and because it’s such a versatile and classic item they are going to continue into winter.
Rollneck Jumpers
Another classic yet often over-looked winter essential. A turtleneck or roll neck jumper is the perfect item in so many ways. A chunky knit is an all-time favourite for cosy winter walks, but a thinner rollneck can be perfect for layering, worm under a shirt or a blazer they make the perfect smart yet warm office or business casual look.
Leopard Print
This fun pattern has been in and out of fashion since the beginning of time. I think we can all admit that dressing like one of the most athletic and intelligent big cats in the animal kingdom brings us a little bit of self-confidence that no other pattern can.
Dark Red
Yes, it’s a classic festive colour, and it work for any time of day! A big cosy sweater to run errands, or a fun and festive dress at your holiday party, these always needs to be more burgundy or oxblood in your winter wardrobe.
