Winter Wardrobe Essentials

Sharing is caring!

Now that thanksgiving is over and the holidays are officially here to stay awhile, itā€™s time to bring out the cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and winter boots out. I love the winter months only because of the holiday season and the chance to get cozy. Itā€™s also the perfect time to spruce up your wardrobe with some fun trendy pieces as well as stock up some of the basics. In this post, Iā€™m going to be sharing my 10 winter wardrobe essentials! These are my favorite items that will upgrade any wardrobe, including one on a budget.

This winter season create a capsule collection of winter essentials, including a long neutral coat, booties, unique basics, and more. In this blog post, Iā€™m share my winter fashion essentials!

 

1. A Leather Jacket

My favorite winter piece is by far a leather jacket. Itā€™s so easy to throw on over a dress, or a casual outfit with a tee and some jeans. And it instantly gives you a more edgy vibe without trying too hard. I recently had to throw my old one away because the faux leather was finally peeling, so its time for a new one. I saw some really cute ones online that would be great for the winter season in the south.

 

2. Snake Print Flats

Snake print has really become a staple in the last few years, and Iā€™m finally hopping on board. They are an easy pattern to take from day to night while staying comfy. I recently picked up this pair of Dr. Schollā€™s snake print loafers on Black Friday this year that I canā€™t wait to style.

 

3. A Crisp White Collared Shirt

One of my favorite fall/winter outfit is wearing a white s collared shirt underneath a baggy sweatshirt or tight knit sweater. While it doesnā€™t get cold enough for that here in North Carolina or South Carolina, I still think itā€™s a really cute outfit.

 

4. A Neutral Tote

At my old job, I couldnā€™t get through my work week without a large neutral tote. Just because you use it for work doesnā€™t mean that it shouldnā€™t look chic and fabulous too! If youā€™re like me, then you love big totes, but you also love organization. This tote organizer is a game changer for any large tote in your closet. I have this one on my Christmas wishlist this year!

 

5. Black Over the Knee Boots

Nothing screams winter to me more than tall boots! A tall black boot is a staple in my closet (shoot even a tan color honestly!). The length of the bottom slims down your hips and gives you an overall polished look. I love pairing them with a basic pair of jeans or a fun dress for the season.

 

6. Dainty Jewelry

I feel like dainty jewelry is pretty much in all year around type of necessity. But I love picking up new jewelry in a new season. My favorite pieces have been short necklaces that you can layer together, especially over a turtleneck sweater.

 

7. Unique basics

When I hear someone say winter, the first thing that comes to mind is layers on layers on layers. During the winter months, I love stocking up on unique basics that are chic and effortless. Sometimes less is more when it comes to styling unique pieces that still make a statement.

 

8. Long Neutral Coat

You cannot go through winter without having a long neutral coat. Having a staple such as a coat will not only keep you warm but also elevate your overall style. My favorite places to shop for a elegant winter coat is American Eagle, H&M, and Aeropostale. Iā€™ve linked a few down below for your pleasure!

 

9. A Midi Skirt

Being a petite girl, I never wouldā€™ve thought that a midi skirt wouldā€™ve been for me. This year, Iā€™ve been playing with styling them in different ways, and Iā€™m a firm believer now that a midi skirt is a staple that you need in your winter wardrobe. They can easily be paired with a blazer for work or dressed out with a sweater on top. Either way you go you look effortless.

 

10. Tan booties

Black is always a staple, but another color that is perfect for the winter month is a tan bootie. They never go out of style, and they go with literally anything in your closet.

 

What is one winter staple that you canā€™t live without?
