My darlings, looks like I am bit late to the party when it comes to giving the gist on what will be trending in Winter, but better late that never, right? Winter is approaching and it’s the perfect time for us to rethink our wardrobes, embrace cozy layers, and experiment with textures and colors that reflect the season’s beauty. This year, the Winter 2024/2025 trends are bringing us a refreshing mix of practicality, elegance, and bold statements. These trends aren’t just about following fashion but about discovering new ways to express ourselves. Let’s explore the styles that are shaping this season together.
1. Earthy Tones and Monochromatic Looks
We’ve always appreciated the timeless appeal of earthy tones, and this season they’re making a powerful statement. Rich shades of khaki, rust, and brown are being styled in monochromatic looks that feel luxurious and easy to wear. A tonal outfit lets us play with textures like suede, wool, and leather, elevating simple pieces to something extraordinary. Imagine a camel coat layered over a knit set in matching hues—it’s polished, versatile, and perfect for any winter day.
2. Oversized Silhouettes
Oversized silhouettes are dominating this winter, and we’re all in. There’s something so comforting about wrapping ourselves in a big coat or a chunky knit sweater. Wide-leg pants, slouchy coats, and cozy turtlenecks give us that relaxed yet put-together vibe we love. To keep it balanced, we’re pairing oversized pieces with more tailored ones, like a structured blazer over loose trousers or an oversized cardigan with a slim midi skirt. It’s all about finding that perfect proportion.
3. Unexpected Sequins
Sequins in winter? We get it—they add a bit of sparkle to an otherwise dreary season. But does every outfit really need a touch of glitz? Designers this season seem determined to turn sequins into a daytime staple, styling them into blazers, midi skirts, and even sweaters. While it’s certainly eye-catching, it’s not exactly practical. Sequins can feel overdone for casual settings, and let’s not forget how uncomfortable they can be—itchy, snagging on everything, and impossible to wash without a trip to the dry cleaner. Sure, a subtle sparkle for a party or dinner out works, but as an everyday trend? We’ll likely be leaving this one for those who don’t mind sacrificing comfort for shine.
4. Sweater Stacking
Layering has always been a winter essential, but this year, it’s reaching new heights with sweater stacking. Combining different knits, colors, and textures is not only practical but also incredibly stylish. We’re layering lightweight turtlenecks under chunky crewnecks or pairing cardigans with oversized vests for a cozy yet elevated look. It’s a trend that encourages creativity, letting us mix and match pieces we already own in exciting new ways.
5. Leopard Print Accessories
Although not my personal favorite, leopard print is making a big comeback, and this season it’s all about the details. From boots to scarves to bags, these bold prints add an element of fun and sophistication to our outfits. Leopard accessories are perfect for those of us who prefer to keep our base layers neutral but still want a pop of personality. A leopard-print clutch or pair of shoes instantly transforms a simple outfit into something unforgettable.
6. Suede and Leather
We can’t talk about winter fashion without mentioning suede and leather. These materials are winter staples, but this year they’re more prominent than ever. Suede jackets, leather trousers, and even accessories like bags and boots are everywhere. The beauty of this trend lies in its versatility—whether we’re heading to the office or going out for a casual evening, suede and leather add a touch of refinement and edge to any look.
7. Wide-Leg Flare Jeans
Wide-leg flare jeans are having their moment, and they’re quickly becoming a favorite for many of us. The silhouette is flattering on so many body types and creates an effortlessly chic vibe. We’re styling them with heeled boots and fitted tops for a polished look or pairing them with chunky knits for a more relaxed feel. This trend is proof that sometimes the simplest changes—like switching out our skinny jeans—can completely refresh our style.
8. Burgundy Hues
Burgundy is the color of the season, and it’s easy to see why. It’s rich, sophisticated, and works beautifully as a neutral base or a standout shade. From burgundy coats to accessories like scarves and gloves, this hue adds depth and warmth to our winter wardrobes. We love pairing burgundy pieces with gold accents for a luxurious touch—it’s the perfect combination for holiday gatherings or any winter outing.
9. Mixed Metal Jewelry
Gone are the days when we had to choose between gold and silver. This season, we’re embracing mixed metal jewelry to create dynamic, layered looks. Stacking silver and gold rings, bracelets, or necklaces gives our outfits a modern, thoughtful edge. If we’re new to this trend, starting small—like a mixed-metal bracelet or layered necklace—is an easy way to ease into it. The result? Accessories that feel effortless yet incredibly chic.
10. High-Fashion Clogs
Clogs are making a fashion comeback, but are they really deserving of the hype? While we can appreciate their comfort and nod to Scandinavian minimalism, clogs have an undeniable clunky quality that’s hard to ignore. Even with modern updates—sleeker designs, premium materials—they still struggle to feel polished. Styling them can also be tricky; they don’t quite have the versatility of a classic boot or loafer. And let’s be honest: not all trends are meant to be universally flattering, and clogs definitely fall into the “love it or hate it” category. If comfort is the goal, there are plenty of chic options out there that don’t sacrifice style. For us, clogs might just stay in the past where they belong.
Wrapping It Up
This winter, we have so many exciting trends to explore, from the cozy charm of oversized silhouettes to the unexpected glam of sequins. These styles give us the opportunity to refresh our wardrobes, experiment with new looks, and make winter dressing something we genuinely enjoy. The best part? These trends are adaptable and easy to make our own. So let’s embrace the season, layer up, and step into winter 2024/2025 with confidence and style. What trend are we all trying first? Let’s share and inspire each other!
