Trust Me—These Are the Only 6 Trendy Winter Buys You Need to Shop Right Now

Sure, trends come and go, but, this winter we've been blessed with some seriously wearable ones. So, it's understandable if you've been on the fence about which items you should add to your cart. While trends aren't necessarily meant to be long-lasting pieces (although the quiet luxury aesthetic could give us a run for our money, here), it's always helpful to ask yourself if you can get at least two seasons of wear out of a purchase. On the flip side, since trends are fleeting, buying something "just for fun" is also completely valid (and, well, fun!)

This list is comprised of both those sensibilities. They're the six pieces that we keep coming back to and frequently stop our scrolling to admire. Not to mention that many of them would make excellent holiday party attire. If you needed permission to press "Add to Cart," consider it done. The only buys you really need before spring are just a moment away.

Long Black Skirt

 Anything that's flattering on all body types is a yes in our book. Just make sure to style this skirt with either a pop of color or bold accessories to keep it from feeling drab. 

Barrel Leg Jeans

 This is one of those fun purchases we mentioned that won't stand the test of time, but you'll see everywhere over the next few months. We're partial to the overly exaggerated pairs. 

Red Sweater

 A red knit is undoubtedly the trend of the season. For those who prefer more subdued styles, it's eye-catching without being in-your-face. 

Bucket Shoulder Bag

Thanks to The Row, the bucket shoulder bag has been every fashion person's wishlist. Plus, it's nice when a bag trend can hold more than just your lip balm and your phone. 

Long Coats

 When we say long coat, we mean as close to the ground as possible. Double breasted, well-tailored or oversized, all styles are welcome. 

Kitten Heel

 High-heel haters rejoice! Low-heels continue to be in favor and add a bit of understated elegance to any outfit.
