It is that time of year again where every fashionista can finally start pulling out all those coats, scarves and boots and then of course, layer, layer and layer. As fall transitions into winter, it also means the chilly weather will give you the chance to embrace a new closet fitted for the new season.
Put away those tank tops and short shorts and update your look with the latest winter trends seen on the runway and around retail stores. Here is a curated list of essentials that every woman needs in her wardrobe for the upcoming season.
Belgian Loafers
Say hello to the new winter flats. Belgian loafers have been around for quite some time and were always known as your typical grandpa-type-of-shoes. Now, they are becoming a sensation with all the newer styles where many designers keep the original vintage feel of the loafers but also add a fun, modern twist to them.
Capes
Who would not love a simple, stylish cropped or oversized cape that is notable to keep you warm for the rest of winter? Capes are back and designers have made them so trendy but so easy to wear as well that all you really have to do is slip your arms into the two little slits in the front.
Oversized Polka Dot Sweaters
Lately, these oversized polka dot sweaters are popping up everywhere in stores. Add some quirkiness to your mix of winter clothes by channeling this sort of fun, large polka dot pattern. You could never really go wrong with a little bit of pattern in your outfits.
Corduroy Pants
Corduroy pants are the must-have pants for the cold winter season. The corduroy fabric will provide those who are looking to find the perfect snug and comfort in a simple pair of pants. What is even better is that this season, it is also about the brightest of colors. With a pair of bright corduroys, you will add that pop of color your wardrobe will need.
Pleats
Pleats are such a classic, sophisticated texture that it is now seen being repeatedly applied to various garments such as dresses, blouses and skirts. Some may worry that pleated clothing will give you that school girl look but they are surely now more refined and appealing chic, varying from small accordion-like folds to larger and simpler folds.
