9 Must-Have Winter Essentials For Every Fashionable Woman
As we march into the crispier and cooler weather, it’s time to rearrange our wardrobes and add a couple of new items for the upcoming season. Although staying warm is the primary goal during winter, there’s no reason you shouldn’t look fashionable while doing so. Here are 9 essential winter items every stylish woman should own.
1) A leather jacket
A leather jacket is a classic piece that will never go out of fashion. It’s a perfect choice for those who want to look edgy and cool. It can complement various outfits, from casual to chic. Pair it up with a white tee and jeans for a comfortable downtown walk. You can also combine it with a blouse and pants when you head out to work. Teamed up with leather pants it makes a great evening look.
2) A midi-dress
Just because it’s chilly outside doesn’t mean you should forget about your cute printed dresses. Simply opt for one with long sleeves and a midi-length hemline, like any beautiful floral dress. You’ll stay warm without skimping on a ladylike look.
3) A cozy sweater
Sweaters are the star of the show during the winter season. These versatile pieces come in all cuts and designs and are suitable for all occasions. Pair your favorite sweater up with old jeans for a weekend outfit, some button-down and tailored trousers for the office, or with a pleated skirt for a holiday party. A hand-made design is always the best, so if you’re crafty enough, why not knit a piece to have a unique look? Use quality wool and get some interesting yarn bowls to make the knitting experience all the more pleasurable.
4) A classic turtleneck
A turtleneck serves as a great layering piece to create unique outfits that will keep you warm. You can wear it on its own or under a wooly, cropped jacket, for example. This classic piece is having a glorious comeback with its cozy silhouette.
5) A jumper dress
A jumper dress allows you to show off your gorgeous legs while staying comfy and warm. Pair it up with a leather jacket or a trench coat and tights to add extra warmth on a cold weather. Whether you opt for a form-fitting or loose-fitting style, you won’t go wrong. Combine it with ankle boots or sexy heels and accessorize with a statement necklace for a perfectly feminine look.
6) A fitted coat
A nice coat is a good alternative for leather jackets, and it’s a necessary piece to complete your winter wardrobe. Pay attention to your body type and preferences when choosing the right coat. There are many cuts and designs you can opt for, from statement coats to classic cuts. These garments can be a bit more expensive but they are worth the investment, as they will last for seasons to come.
7) A fedora hat
Headwear pieces are an essential part of winter attire and, if chosen wisely, they can completely transform your outfit. A fedora hat goes well with any look, from casual to chic and mysterious. A wool or felt fedora will keep you warm while upgrading your style.
8) Infinity scarf
An infinity scarf is a regular scarf whose both ends are sewn together to make a loop. It will keep you warm and pop some bold colors to your winter outfit, at the same time. Simply wrap yourself up in one of these for an instant stylish look.
9) Ankle boots
Ankle boots are versatile pieces that easily blend into any style. Whether they are flat, lace-up or patterned, there is a perfect pair for everyone. Team them up with a printed dress or winter shorts and tights to stay warm. You can also roll or double cuff your skinny jeans to make them look thinner. Ankle boots will add a final touch to your winter combinations.
Chilly winter days are approaching, so start preparing for this frosty season by choosing your wardrobe staples with these tips and must-haves in mind.

November 3, 2016I LOVE my sweaters! But I can’t do turtlenecks. It feels too weird on my neck.
I wish I could wear hats too. My daughter looks cute in them at least.
