if it’s winter then it’s time to bundle up. but there’s no need to sacrifice style the next few months just because the wind is blowing. today, i’ve rounded up ten winter wardrobe staples that will keep you on your style game all winter long.
boots – short, tall, and otk boots are essential winter footwear. wear them with dresses or skirts for work. or pair with skinny jeans for a chic weekend look.
over the knee boots – Steve Madden, Stuart Weitzman, and Marc Fisher
tall boots – J.Crew, Talbots, and Frye
short boots – Frye Vicky, Frye Chelsea, and Madewell
tights – it’s a blue moon when i wear hosiery of any type. but when it’s cold outside i don’t mind adding a pair of tights for warmth. try a pattern for a little extrra style. my favorite brands? commando, DKNY, wolford, and spanxx for added shapewear.
skinny jeans are perfect to tuck inside those tall or over the knee boots. check out Old Navy Rockstar, J.Crew or Ann Taylor
sweaters – cashmere, merino wool, chunky turtleneck are perfect cold weather layers. look for natural fibers as blends tend to pill.
faux fur vest – wear it underneath a lightweight jacket or let it fly solo. either way, a faux fur vest is a versatile addition to your winter wardrobe. J.Crew, INC., andVia Spiga
casual coat – the perfect weekend look starts with a puffer jacket. technology has improved this tried-and-true coat so look for ones that can be packed inside a suitcase Old Navy, Marmot, and 32 degrees
work coat – look for classic military style Ralph Lauren or a neutral camel coat Trina Turk
scarf – nothing is more versatile or warm than a scarf. look for neutrals for versatility. want a little pizzazz? try a pattern. Vince Camuto, Anthropologie, and Eileen Fisher.
technology gloves – an absolute necessity when you want to answer your phone in frigid temps. Ralph Lauren.
hats – last but not least don’t forget to wear a hat when you head out the door during the winter months. a beanie or wide-brimmed wool hat is long on style and keeps you warm.

Beth, ALL of these photos of you wearing these wonderful outfits leaves me speechless. What a beautiful, beautiful collection. The double breasted coat, to DIE for. Your boots..awesome!! Each and every one, but my very favorite, is the picture of you seated wearing jeans with the silver belt buckle, sweater over blouse, and jacket. You look absolutely AMAZING!!!
Love that one especially and also the houndstooth jacket over the blue polkadot sweater.
Some great winter looks to keep us warm and stylish – thanks Beth!
