Winter Fashion Trends 2024-2025
Sharing a variety of chic trends of the season to inspire your winter 2024 wardrobes and beyond!
Suede Everything
Winter is officially here, and one of the coziest, most stylish trends this season is suede, suede everything! From boots to bags, coats, pants, and more, this luxe material is making its mark. It’s such a chic addition to your wardrobe. It’s timeless, versatile, and so easy to mix and match with your favorite pieces. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, suede brings that extra touch of elegance and warmth to every outfit.
Cozy Cashmere
Cozy cashmere is another winter favorite, and for good reason. It’s soft, warm, and effortlessly chic. This luxurious fabric is perfect for staying comfy while looking stylish. You can go all out with a cashmere set, pairing a sweater with a matching skirt for a polished look, or mix things up by styling a cashmere sweater with a slip skirt or jeans for a playful take on textures. Don’t forget cozy cashmere accessories like scarves, gloves, and even beanies, they’re the ultimate winter essentials!
Chic Countryside
The chic countryside look is having a major moment, and it’s all about embracing that timeless, preppy Americana vibe. Think Ralph Lauren inspired style with riding boots, tartan plaid, flowy skirts, and cozy sweaters. It’s a perfect mix of elegance and comfort. This look is so easy to pull off and feels so comfortable on a chilly day. It’s the ultimate way to channel that cozy, countryside charm while staying effortlessly stylish.
The Wrap Effect
This winter, it’s all about the wrap effect. Scarf jackets, scarf coats, capes, and anything with a cozy, scarf-like vibe are stealing the spotlight. Brands like Toteme have made this trend iconic with their effortlessly chic scarf coats, but there are so many ways to embrace it. You can opt for a classic scarf coat, drape a cape over your shoulders, or simply layer a big, oversized scarf over your outfit for a relaxed yet polished look. It’s the perfect way to stay warm and stylish this season!
Animal Print
Animal print is making a bold statement this season, and both leopard and snakeskin are at the front of the trend! Leopard print continues to be a winter favorite, adding a touch of timeless glamour to coats, skirts, and accessories. Meanwhile, snakeskin is having its moment with boots, bags, and more, bringing a fresh and modern vibe. If you prefer a subtler look, go for snakeskin in neutral tones. It’s so effortlessly chic and easy to style. Whether you choose leopard, snakeskin, or a mix of both, animal print is the perfect way to elevate your winter wardrobe!
Elegant Details
This winter, it’s all about elegant details to elevate your outfits. Sequins are a standout, especially for holiday parties, but they’re also popping up in everyday pieces like bags and accessories for a touch of sparkle. Studs and rivets are another trend to watch, on purses, shoes, and belts for a chic, edgy vibe. These little touches add so much character and effortlessly take your look to the next level, whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual!
Minimalist Accessories
Minimalist accessories are having their moment this winter, and I couldn’t be happier. Quiet luxury is always a go-to favorite of mine. This trend embraces timeless pieces like elegant watches, classic brooches, chic sunglasses, and beautifully crafted bags in neutral tones like cream, black, and brown. These accessories are not just stylish. They’re investments you’ll wear on repeat for years to come. It’s all about choosing quality, understated pieces that add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
Chunky Knit Sweaters: Cozy Up in Style
Chunky knit sweaters remain a staple for winter 2024. This season, we’re seeing oversized, textured knits in vibrant and warm colors like forest green, rich mustard, and dark navy. Bold patterns, like cable knits or ribbed designs, add both warmth and style to your winter wardrobe. Pair a chunky knit sweater with leather pants or wide-leg trousers to add sophistication to your cozy look.
Leather Pieces: Luxe and Layerable
Leather isn’t limited to jackets this winter. Skirts, pants, and even shirts are key pieces in 2024, especially in classic winter tones like chocolate brown and burgundy. Leather adds a luxurious edge to any look and is easy to dress up or down. Pair leather pants with a chunky sweater or layer a leather skirt with tights and a fitted top. This creates a balanced look with cozy and edgy elements.
The Color Brown: Embrace Earthy Warmth
Brown has undoubtedly become a must-have color this winter, from accessories to full monochromatic outfits. From rich chocolate to camel, brown tones add warmth and depth to any look. Brown can serve as a neutral or a statement, making it incredibly versatile. Layer different shades of brown for a sophisticated monochromatic outfit. For example, pair a brown turtleneck with tan trousers and a dark brown coat, and finish with brown ankle boots for a cohesive winter look.
Maxi Coats: Floor-Length Elegance and Warmth
Maxi coats have returned as a chic and practical trend in winter 2024. These floor-length coats in colors like camel, gray, or even black provide extra warmth while giving an elegant, elongated silhouette. Layer your maxi coat over a fitted outfit for a streamlined look. This style also pairs well with sleek boots or sneakers, giving your outfit a modern and stylish edge.
Athleisure: Comfort Meets Style
Athleisure continues to thrive as a winter fashion trend, allowing you to stay comfortable and stylish throughout the season. Key pieces include joggers, fleece hoodies, and quilted jackets in neutral tones. For a winter twist, opt for warmer fabrics and incorporate pieces in muted shades like olive, navy, and heather gray. For example, mix athleisure pieces with traditional winter items, like pairing joggers with a tailored coat or adding a quilted jacket over a hoodie. Then, add a structured bag, like a burgundy tote, for a polished finish to your athleisure look.
Wide-Leg Pants: Elegant Comfort
Wide-leg pants continue to dominate this winter. Opt for wool or corduroy fabrics for added warmth, and then style them with sweaters and long coats. These pants offer both elegance and comfort, making them perfect for any occasion. Pair wide-leg pants with a slim turtleneck and ankle boots for a sophisticated winter look that’s both comfortable and refined.
Burgundy Bags: Add a Pop of Winter Color
Burgundy bags are the “it” accessory for winter 2024. The deep, rich color adds a touch of luxury to any outfit and pairs well with neutrals and earth tones. Also, burgundy handbags, crossbodies, and totes make versatile choices for adding a seasonal pop of color. A burgundy tote or crossbody bag adds instant polish to a casual outfit. Also, be sure to pair it with brown or neutral-toned clothing to create a cohesive, on-trend look. Burgundy bags pair well with classy February outfits.
Faux Fur and Shearling: Luxurious Texture
Faux fur and shearling jackets and accessories add warmth and texture to winter outfits. Opt for faux fur coats in classic colors or shearling-lined jackets for a cozy yet stylish look. Pair a faux fur coat with jeans or leggings for a balanced look, or also try layering a shearling jacket over a sweater dress for a cozy winter outfit.
Red
Red has been a hugely popular color this year. We’ve seen it in fall fashion trends and it continues to make a strong statement in winter styles. Whether you’re adding a pop of red with accessories or embracing a bold, monochromatic look, this vibrant color can really elevate your outfit. Also, for more ideas on how to incorporate red into your wardrobe, check out my post on how to wear red.
corporate Core
The ‘corporate core’ look featuring blazers, trousers, pin stripes, pleats, and vests is also trending right now. This style is both easy to put together and exudes classiness. You can keep it subtle by pairing a blazer with jeans and sneakers for a casual yet polished look, or go all out with a pinstripe vest and trousers outfit. I love this trend because of its versatility and timelessness.
Quiet Luxury
Quiet luxury fashion is all about understated classics, focusing on timeless pieces like blazers, trousers, silk skirts, quality jeans, and classic sweaters. This trend avoids loud logos, opting for a more subtle and sophisticated look with high-quality materials and classic bags. It’s a favorite of mine because it offers a simple yet elegant style.
Metallic
Metallics are another big trend, showing up in everything from dresses to shoes and bags. This fun, shimmering style is perfect for the holiday season, adding a festive flair to any look. For everyday wear, incorporating a metallic bag or shoes can add a subtle yet playful touch to your outfit. This trend offers a great way to spice up your wardrobe, whether you’re going for a bold, all over metallic look or just a hint of sparkle for everyday glamour.
Scarf Accents
Scarves and scarf accents are a key trend this winter, especially seen in scarf jackets. Inspired by the classic Toteme scarf jacket, this trend has expanded to include a variety of other styles. Scarf jackets offer a chic and unique way to stay warm while adding a fashionable touch to any outfit. To explore my favorite scarf coats, check out my post here. Or also if you’re looking for Toteme Scarf Jacket dupes, I’ve got you covered as well here.
Velvet
Velvet is a classic material for winter, particularly popular during the holiday season. This year, we’re seeing velvet in various forms, from elegant dresses and skirts to comfortable pants, stylish tops and so many more. This fabric’s rich texture and deep colors make it perfect for festive occasions and add a sophisticated element to everyday winter wear.
