I've Made an Observation: The Coolest Winter Outfits All Involve These 6 Trends

@oliviamarcusStyle Notes: When it comes to choosing a winter coat, if you're looking to change things up a bit, turn your attention to herringbone. Black and white in a tiny chevron print, this traditional weave is as everlasting as checks but will give your outerwear collection a point of difference—the sort Instagram dressers can’t get enough of at the moment.

One of the most expensive-looking coats on the high street.

@modedamourStyle Notes: Working out colour combinations can be time consuming, but it seems those in the know are stripping things back to basics. On the one hand, autumn gave us 50 shades of brown that we're still wearing now, but according to TikTok, if you're going to colour-block anything, it's more cream-and-white outfits than I can possibly count—enter the "vanilla girl" aesthetic. But when it looks this chic, I can totally see the appeal.

The kind of classic knit you'll wear year after year after year…

@smythsistersStyle Notes: I don’t know about you, but I’m getting somewhat fatigued of wearing my jeans on loop, and I have a feeling influencers are too. Instead, more and more of them are reaching for leather trousers, which, although just as versatile as demin, are so much more “fashion.”

I can confirm Good American denim is some of the best fitting you can find, so if the leather is anywhere near as good, you're on to a winner.
Straight leg with a drawstring waist so you needn't worry about a restricting fit.
Black leather is a classic, but brown vegan leather is an understated alternative.

@marianne_theodorsenStyle Notes: It might be the antithesis of the vanilla-girl aesthetic, but if you're an expressive dresser, this season, the style set is also embracing bold and bright jumpers and cardigans in an attempt to lift their winter ensembles, and even the most minimalist dressers must appreciate it's impossible not to feel just a little bit happier when cosied up in these joyous styles.

If you thought Fair Isle prints were only good for Christmas, this should change your mind.

@mimi.orereStyle Notes: Of all the boot trends out there, square-toe versions are proving to be a firm favourite in fashion circles. Why? They have the power to give any outfit a cool overhaul, but they’re still versatile enough not to overpower your look. (PS: You'll score extra points if you manage to combine them with winter's biggest boot trend: the knee-high.)

@frannfyneStyle Notes: Skirts of any length will always make a comeback in the warmer months, but for winter, longline skirts are reigning supreme and most commonly found in woollen, pleated, satin and midi-meets-maxi styles. I’ve seen them styled with everything from trainers to heels, knee-high boots to loafers, and they will be a key buy for the year ahead.

Satin skirts are just as versatile as a simple slip dress, so there's no excuse not to wear this with everything.
Prada knows good skirts, and this intricately embellished piece is simply exquisite.
