If You're Sick of Boring Winter Outfits, Here Are 4 Styling Tricks That Everyone You Walk Past Will Want to Copy

Every winter, I set my sights on wearing the best outfits I can. There’s always something missing, though, so this year I made a mood board to hone my looks for the season. I concluded that you must add a specific accessory or use certain styling tricks to make your outfits look more interesting and sometimes more complete. There are times I’ve left my apartment feeling like my outfit was somehow unfinished. Now, I know why. I’ve improved my winter wardrobe this year and, subsequently, my outfits.

These styling tricks I’ve got up my sleeve are much easier to implement into your wardrobe than you'd think. You might even have those pieces in your closet already. Styling an outfit versus just wearing an outfit is what makes or breaks your look. Trust me, these small styling tricks will prove it. Simple tweaks are all you need to look put together this winter. See the styling tricks I’m using for winter 2025.

Add Leather Gloves

Leather gloves are so sleek and chic. They make everything look so elegant. Wear them with any type of coat, and you have yourself a full look. It sounds like an expensive investment for an accessory, but there are many affordable options. You can always look elegant on a budget.

Wear a Really Big Scarf

We all remember skinny scarves, and of course, triangle scarves are starting to trend, but super-long scarves deserve just as much love. The added drama of a long scarf makes any basic coat and pants outfit look incredibly chic.

Follow the Wrong Shoe Theory

I’m all for the wrong shoe theory that has been a big trend on Instagram. I’m often wearing boots with dresses or flats with baggy jeans. These are the shoes you need in your winter outfit rotation.

Add a Wool Bucket Hat

Sometimes all that’s left for an outfit is a simple wool bucket hat. The shape of this hat style is sleek and not too gaudy or too casual. It's the perfect balance for any winter outfit.
