Just a blink of an eye and it’s already a whole new season with tons of new looks and trends, and it looks like they put the best last this year. I’m talking about even more fur than last season and unique silhouettes that add contrast to everyday outfits.
Let’s start with the silhouettes. Instead of boring (yet still cute) outfits this winter, we’re opting for over-the-top silhouettes that add a whole new dimension to our outfits. Expect large coats, varied proportions of clothing such as cropped pieces, and fun hats like berets, Breton caps, and those furry trapper hats. Speaking of some fur, we have way more this season. I’m talking about faux fur jackets that look like a blanket on you. Expect faux fur shoes, faux fur trimmed hoods, and even faux fur skirts this winter season.
Boring beige is out, and rich colors with fun fabrics are in this season. Plaid seems to be taking over this winter, as I’m seeing every celebrity walking down the street wearing some form of plaid; Specifically, Pink Pantheress, a British singer who went viral for her smart marketing. She incorporated plaid in every interview she was in, and even on some of the album covers for Fancy That. Now, all the girls seem to be walking down NYC wearing some form of plaid.
Velvet is also a popular texture this season. The aim for the velvet look is chic and fun, while still giving that elegant look everyone thinks of. The looks we can expect are: draped, flowy dresses, elevated basics, and tactile flair. Also, rich colors like burgundy, navy blue, a deep forest green, and baby pink hues to add a little fun when it comes to outfits.
When it comes to fashion, we can clearly see fashion trends rising and then dying. But they also get revamped and become a trend once again. We can see that this winter is for the Y2K era. Fabrics like cheetah and zebra print. Without being too much, the people are pulling it off and giving an edgy look, including the fabrics.
Layering has been more than a practical way to fight the cold; it’s a fashion moment. Layering used to be about keeping you warm; now it’s about elevating your outfits to the highest potential. This blending of warm and stylish lets people like us go wild and have fun creating outfits. Wool coats and puffers are a great way to boost an outfit. Mixing textures also adds a visually appealing look and makes a simple outfit stand out.
Not just clothes can be layered, but also accessories. Like hats and sunglasses, jewelry and even scarves. Adding different textures of accessories and building on top of them, called a ¨stack, ¨ can bring life to an outfit and not look dull. And, forgot to mention, adds character to who you are, and can even be a conversation starter. Overall, winter has done it again with a successful season of fashion.
