My New Year’s resolution is simple: In 2026, I will dress rich, elegant, and, above all, chic. I’m manifesting 365 days of effortlessly cool outfits, unforgettable coats, coveted kitten heels, and spectacular silhouettes. And to prove I’m not messing around, I’ve already begun preparations. For the past few weeks, I’ve scoured IG for chic winter outfits, consulted my fellow Who What Wear editors on the 2026 fashion must-haves, and observed the latest trends of the NYC style set. Spoiler: High V-neck sweaters, short faux-fur jackets, and elegant leather gloves will soon be gracing your feed, if they haven't already.

So, if your New Year’s resolution looks anything like mine, pay close attention. From London to Oslo, below are 10 chic winter outfits to wear in 2026. You'll find plenty of faux-fur trimmings, oversize totes (ahem, the Coach Soft Empire Carryall Bag 40), '90s-inspired straight-leg jeans, cool knee-high boots, and elegant winter coats. Let's make 2026 the most fashionable year yet.
