It’s that time of year again! New winter styles are already hitting the runways.
This season is shaping up to be a great one for fashion, in some surprising and unexpected ways. So, what’s the name of the game for this winter season?
Luxurious comfort with a retro spin. Curious to hear more?
Read on to learn about this season’s most unexpected winter trends.
Leggings Are Here to Stay
Ah, leggings. Some people love them, some people hate them. But no matter what, these comfortable, stretchy bottoms seem to inspire some amount of controversy.
Surprisingly, however, they’re popping up everywhere in runway styles for this winter. From chic stretchy bottoms under dresses and long coats to fun color block athletic styles, it looks like leggings are here to stay!
Winter Trends Mean Luxe Velvets
Is anyone excited about soft and crush velvets coming back into style?
It only makes sense, as this luxurious and fun fabric was a staple of the seventies and nineties. Do the math- fashion is cyclical, and it seems that velvet is having its turn in the spotlight once again!
From brightly colored retro-style boots and strappy heels to soft, drapey dresses, velvet is showing up this winter across the board.
Platform Boots
Speaking of retro styles…
We’re seeing another throwback to fashion times gone by with some serious platform boots this winter season. And these boots aren’t shy, many with brightly colored and busily patterned styles.
Platform boots can take just about any look from functional and boring to bright and playful with minimal effort.
Faux Furs
This surprising trend is already being flaunted by ladies everywhere. Nothing feels quite so elegant as adding a bit of fur to an outfit (faux, of course, is the only way to go).
The surprising part? These faux fur items, like luxurious stoles, are being used to accessorize even the most casual or athletic outfits.
If you’ve never thought to throw on your faux fur before running to the shops to do some errands, you might be thinking again this winter. Ditch boring scarves and trade them in for something a bit more sumptuous!
Puffer Jackets
Puffer jackets have been around since 1939 but slowly faded from public grace somewhere in the 90’s. Like other styles we’re seeing for this year’s winter trends, however, they’re back!
And not just any puffer jackets… metallic puffer jackets. Yes, you heard that right. Shiny gold, brilliant silver, and perhaps even some rose gold thrown in for good measure.
So if you’re looking to keep warm this winter with a certain flair, this season’s fashion is going to be a great fit for you.
Wrapping Up
We’re seeing a lot of retro styles in this season’s winter trends and tons of luxury mixed with comfort. From funky platforms to luxe velvets and comfy leggings to metallic jackets, there are surprises around every corner this winter season.
The real takeaway is not to be afraid to take cues from decades gone by, and also not to sacrifice your own comfort for the sake of fashion.
