Winter is coming, friends! As your fashion editor, I want you to be prepared with the season’s most comfortable and stylish pieces. A few months ago, the fall/winter 2024 fashion show gave us a good idea of ​​what we might see during this frigid season. In our fall fashion roundupwe highlighted some major trends such as leopard prints, contrasting colors and the influence of skiing in fashion. These trends will continue to be everywhere this winter, but hey, why not direct your eyes (and your pockets) to a few others?

In addition to your winter essentials like sweaters And coatsWe’ve compiled five trends we’ve seen on the runways and of course on the streets from our favorite celebrities and content creators. With everything from specific colors to fur or faux fur and even useful pieces like the stylish balaclava, this winter is all about taking style to the next level.

Shades of red

Lacoste FW24.

Red in winter is by no means revolutionary (I mean, it’s a must-have color for the holiday season, after all). However, this winter, deep reds and burgundy shades are having their moment of glory. Try incorporating burgundy pieces into your winter outfits in the form of simple accessories like scarves or hats, or maybe even get a burgundy sweater.

Eckhaus Latta FW24.

While we always see a lot of (fake) fur or leather coats during the colder months of the year, this time it’s serious. Yes, the “woman-mob” aesthetic has taken TikTok by storm, and while there are still a few nods to the look (who doesn’t love a fur coat?!), the more understated version of the fur trim is a trend to watch out for this winter.
