Before the pandemic, winter fashion was all about sexy holiday dresses and cozy and chic comfort-wear. Although things have changed, the best way to adapt is to redefine what fashion means to you and where you can still dress up in your trendiest wardrobe. Don’t let this pandemic get in the way of wearing your best winter gear. It’s no brainer that celebrities and influencers are flashing their hottest winter fits on the internet right now.
The Winter season is all about nesting. This means lounging in your favourite comfy clothes. Dress it up and make it more fun by layering, exploring new trends, and trying new winter accessories. As the weather gets colder, your looks should get bolder. Stick with these winter fashion trends for your next virtual meet or grocery run and people will think you’re the next influencer!
Here are six winter fashion trends for women to try for winter 2021:
Knitwear
Layer up this season with your favourite knitwear. Stick with classic colours like taupe, grey, white, beige, or black. Not only are they the best for comfort-wear, but they’ll also keep you warm no matter where you’re isolating. Pair it with your favourite denim or sloughy trousers for your next cyber celebration.
Cottage Inspo
Unwind and relax by exploring your local cottage country. Why not book a cottage getaway with your family and inner circle and make it fun? Check out this trend #cottagecore to get some serious inspiration. For your next winter cottage trip, ditch the sweats and dress-up in your prettiest colourful winter dresses and take advantage of the gorgeous whiteout background. Add some high knee socks and double up with your favourite outwear.
Leather Wear
Incorporating leather fabrics can really dress up your look. Invest in some leather-full pieces to add to your winter look. Don’t know where to start? Stick with a classic. Invest in a leather knee-length skirt or a leather jacket. Throw on some cute mittens to match and a pair of chunky boots to finish the look.
Puffer Wear
Each year, puffer coats are getting puffier and bolder. Puffer coats are getting more recognized for their colours and fabrics. From flashy metallics outer layer to non-traditional zipper placements, you’ll get to show off your personality and style with the trendiest winter fashion statement.
