Long Coat + Relaxed Tailored Trousers + Sweater + Sneakers
Maxi-length coats are trending. Pair one with loose tailored trousers, a relaxed sweater, and sneakers to add a casual touch to the look. Don't forget your scarf.
Shop the look:
Quilted Coat + Turtleneck + Jeans + Lace-Up Boots
There's nothing like a quilted coat or puffer jacket to keep you warm in winter. To give the casual outerwear piece a chic touch, keep the rest of your ensemble in similar ivory and beige hues.
Shop the look:
Overcoat + Blazer + Miniskirt + Sheer Tights + Boots
A day-to-night winter look need not be boring. Simply pair a blazer and miniskirt with sheer tights and knee-high boots. Finish the look with a chic overcoat and beanie. Try different shades of gray for a polished look.
Shop the look:
Faux-Fur Robe Coat + Turtleneck + Black Pants
Sometimes, all you need is a statement coat to give your look some zest. Plush robe coats are having a major moment this season. Simply style one over basic black pants, a turtleneck, and a blazer for a simple yet striking winter look.
Shop the look:
Long Knit Dress + Long Coat + Boots
A maxi-length knit dress will be your hero piece when you want to look chic and have no time to think. Just add a long wool coat and boots to complete the look.
Shop the look:
Faux-Fur Moto Jacket + Sweater + Straight-Leg Jeans
For an effortlessly chic winter jeans outfit, opt for a straight-leg pair with heeled boots styled with a relaxed sweater and tee. Add a trendy faux fur–lined leather moto jacket to complete the look.
Shop the look:
Shearling Coat + Turtleneck + Leather Pants + Boots
The fashion crowd is loving cozy shearling coats this season. For a sleek look, pair it with a turtleneck and leather pants.
Shop the look:
Wool Coat + Black Jeans + Sweater + Sneakers
Jeans, a sweater, sneakers, and a long overcoat—an outfit formula fashion people wear on rotation. Wrap a sweater over your shoulders for a cool touch.
Shop the look:
Scarf Coat + Tailored Pants + Pumps
Tailored trousers and a beautiful scarf-coat hybrid make for the perfect winter work look.
Shop the look:
Leopard Dress + Leather Trench + Tights
Leopard print is basically a classic staple in our eyes, and it has the ability to amp up your winter outfit in an instant. Stick to one color for the rest of your outfit—a black leather trench, black tights, and black boots—for a sleek look.
Shop the look:
Leather Jacket + Knit Midi Skirt + Pumps
This polished yet trend-forward look will keep you looking stylish this winter. Pair an oversize leather jacket with a midi skirt, tights, and pointed-toe pumps. Keep extra warm with a scarf.
