When winter rolls around, it’s time for a drastic wardrobe change in most parts of the world. But winter isn’t a time to whip out the drab and dreary wardrobe. Instead, it’s a time to get creative with what you wear on a daily basis- mixing up textures, colors, and layers in your clothing.
During the winter, there’s no better time to flip the script on how the weather makes you feel with your clothing choices. It’s time to dress for success with on-trend winter clothing in 2020…
Be Seen and Heard in 2020 with These Top Winter Clothing Trends
Your winter wardrobe should be comprised of a few hard-working staples to see you through the cold months. And it doesn’t hurt if these essentials are both stylish and practical. We’re talking a statement overcoat, high-quality jeans, boots, and underwear with pockets if you’re feeling particularly fancy!
Wintertime in the Northern Hemisphere is also jam-packed with festivities, ranging from family dinners, Christmas parties, work parties, and New Year’s celebrations. This calls for special occasion attire that can be mixed and matched to keep you both warm and on-trend throughout winter.
Here are a few winter staples to add to your collection:
-
The Cable Knit Sweater
As we mentioned, winter is all about layering. A classic winter combination is mixing up sweaters and cardigans underneath your overcoat. The cable knit sweater is one such staple that’s worth adding to your wardrobe. Go for a crew neck style that is flattering on most body types, and great for emphasizing the shoulders.
Simple colors are best- think along the lines of cream, grey or beige/brown. Add another level of texture and warmth by layering a collared shirt underneath the sweater.
-
The Wool Suit
For the corporate businessman, nothing says old-world charm like a wool suit. It’s not as uncomfortable as it sounds. Most wool suits are soft-to-the-touch but heavy enough to keep you warm from day through to evening. To keep the look a little more smart-casual, pair your wool suit with a t-shirt or roll neck underneath, rather than a button-down shirt.
Stick to neutral colors for this type of material, such as grey or navy.
-
Heavy Duty Denim
Winter is the perfect time to break out the thick, heavy-duty jeans which do a great job of keeping you warm and looking stylish. Jeans are durable, comfortable, keep in the heat and can easily transfer from day to night. Opt for a pair of Selvedge denim which are super high-quality jeans and will last you a few winters. Pair with a shirt and blazer for day time, and an overcoat for the evening. A pair of dark wash or black jeans will stand you in good stead as they can pretty much be worn with anything. And always wear your jeans with boots!
-
Comfortable Yet Stylish Athleisure Wear
Okay, so winter isn’t all about dressing up- sometimes you need to run basic errands and can’t be bothered putting on multiple layers. This is where athleisure wear comes in to save the day. This performance-meets-relaxed style of clothing is ideal for just throwing on, but still looking sharp and stylish.
Go for simple styles and colors for an even more put-together look. Neutral colors in athleisure wear are a great way to transition what are, essentially, work out clothes into everyday life! Think black, grey, navy or white.
-
The Classic Pea Coat
If you don’t own a double-breasted overcoat by now, this winter is the time to get one. The pea coat is bang-on-trend and will stand you in good stead for multiple winters to come. But it’s not new to fashion, it has been around for multiple decades. Whether you’re commuting to work, going out on a date, or even to a Christmas market, there’s nothing a pea coat won’t suit.
To tone down your outfit, wear your pea coat with a pair of dark jeans and boots. For a more formal look, wear your coat with a suit, paired with light-colored outerwear. It’s a timeless piece that can easily be incorporated with any outfit- no matter the occasion.
-
The Wool Blazer
If a full-on wool suit is a little too much for your liking, then how about starting off with just a wool blazer? These are all the rage for 2020 and help any outfit look both cool and sophisticated. The wool coat is perfect for any semi-formal occasion – an office Christmas party, a formal dinner, a New Year’s celebration. Pair with a button-down white shirt and dark pair of jeans for a smart-casual look. Or mix it up with smart trousers, a roll neck, and boots for formal events.
The added bonus is that a wool blazer is light enough to be worn year-round, so there’s no need to pack it away once winter ends!
-
The Puffer Vest
Hello, 80s! The puffer vest has made its return and its well and truly a winter staple to be seen in 2020. There are a myriad of puffer vest variations on the market today, ideal for any occasion. From hiking, running, or even just commuting, a puffer vest will keep you warm no matter the terrain or weather.
It’s ideal for layering over simple outfits, even just t-shirts, and sweatshirts, paired with jeans. If you’re looking to add a little color to your wardrobe, a puffer vest is a perfect choice. This is your chance to mix colors, patterns, and textures while staying warm.
-
The Leather Jacket
No winter wardrobe is quite complete without a classic leather jacket- whether you’re a man or woman. It’s honestly one of the most versatile items of clothing and can be worn day-to-night with style and ease. There are so many different ways you can style a leather jacket. Pair with it a simple white t-shirt, jeans, and Converse for the day. Or mix it up with a roll neck, black jeans, and formal boots for the evening. Ideally, go for a black leather jacket if you’re looking to keep things cool and classic.
