Winter is here and because I hate the cold I usually have to find a silver lining to this change of season. Right now, the silver lining is putting together new outfits to make going outside in the Winter more bearable. I’ve been having some fun combining my Fall pieces with new winter pieces to make weather-appropriate, but stylish outfits. Here are some of my favorite Winter must-have looks!
Foxy Faux Fur
The faux fur jacket is a staple for the Winter. Now, I know what some of you are thinking, “Aren’t furs for fancy outings, I can’t wear one every day.” But guess what? That is far from true. If you have the right confidence, you can rock a fur with just about anything, even sweatpants. Here, I’m wearing a rust-colored faux fur jacket with distressed boyfriend jeans and a patch sweatshirt. Faux furs are not only versatile, but they are animal-friendly, inexpensive, and come in a variety of colors, lengths, and textures.

More Metallics
Metallics continue to be on trend this Winter and can be used as a neutral or matched up with similar tones, as I’ve done here. I had been searching everywhere for a silver loafer and I finally found these babies while shopping on Black Friday. I paired them with a cut-out gray top and a sleeveless trench, another great Black Friday find. See below for your own styling options!

Knits in Distress
I’m sure this is not news to any of you Glams but apparently, Kanye’s distressed any and everything look has taken us all by storm. From mainstream retailers to high-end brands, it’s not just jeans that are purposely donning the destroyed look anymore. Here, I’m wearing a distressed knit sweater that is oversized enough to wear as a dress. Of course, I can throw on a pair of leggings or jeans on colder days. I’ve topped it off with fringe booties and a tassel clutch to dress it up a bit. Check out the links below to recreate this trend for yourself!

Edge for Life
These days, people are using dress more and more as a way to express themselves as an act of defiance against the status quo and even political regimes. There’s no better way to say “screw the establishment” than to dress in a way that is unexpected for you. I love experimenting with edgy looks, especially looks like this since I’m usually considered very feminine and somewhat conservative. Here, I’m wearing this awesome camouflage jacket and a mesh tee shirt and feeling like I can take over the world. Find similar pieces below!

Fashionably Textured
Texture is everything this Winter, which is great because these popular textures are so comfy. I’m wearing a long fuzzy knit cardigan with distressed black jeans and I’ve topped it off with a silver collar statement necklace. See below on how to achieve your own comfy chic look!

The Not-So-Basic White Shirt
Whatever your aesthetic is, everyone has a white button-down shirt. But this season, it’s time to ramp it up a bit. The long silhouette of this shirt gives it a bit of a flair. It can be worn under a cropped sweater with leggings or jeans, as I’ve done here. I’m also wearing burgundy Chelsea boots with a chunky, platform heel, which I adore.

UPDATE: Fall Fashion Follow Up
As a final note, I wanted to follow up on my Fall Fashion Post, “Fall is Here, So What to Wear?” All throughout Fall, I enjoyed putting the trends I wrote about into practice, especially the patch trend and the velvet trend. I even went all DIY and put patches and pins on a denim vest and an oversized military jacket. But I went a little crazy with the velvet; I stocked up with a bodysuit, a lace-up tank, a dress, boots and 3 pairs of leggings. But who can resist that soft, luxurious fabric? Anyway, have a look at a couple of my ensembles below!
