Winter Fashion PREVIEW

By Lauren Caggiano Whether you consider yourself a fashion maven or more of a loner in the sartorial department, you might be wondering what’s on tap for winter trends. Well, you’re in luck. We’ve assembled a guide to the season’s hottest looks so you can update your wardrobe — or even pull out some items from yesteryear that you’ve kept.

For one, leather made an appearance on the runway. From shorts to vests to everything in between, leather is versatile and warm. Leather shorts are the perfect transitional piece to have. Pair with tights and boots and you have a look that’s both fashionable and practical. Not into the real thing? There are many vegan leathers on the market and many look like the real thing. Similarly, the biker-chick aesthetic is trending. Pair a moto jacket with a multi-pocket skirt and you have yourself a picture-perfect look that says you’re edgy and like to take charge. Speaking of skirts, 2000 Britney called, and she wants her mini-skirt back. Yes, the Y2K aesthetic is back with a vengeance. Pair the skirt with tights and you have a winter-ready look. Channeling that same era, mini dresses are showing up on Instagram accounts, too. Think mini ruched dress, mini bodycon dress, and mini dress with plunging V-neck. Long-sleeve options in the mini silhouette are fashion-forward and are complemented by boots. Just as much of a throwback as these barely-there skirts, corsets are having a moment. Think Madonna in the 1980s but maybe not with the cone boobs. Not sure how to pull off this look? Don’t overthink it. A black corset can go casual or fancy. Pair it with a blazer and jeans and you have a look that says sexy and confident.

On the other end of the spectrum, cargo pants are more utilitarian than anything else. Who doesn’t love pockets? Whether classic khaki, olive, or a bolder color, you can’t go wrong with pairing these pants with a T-shirt or even sweater for a more refined look. Outerwear-wise, it’s time to think faux. Faux fur coats are the best way to marry warmth with style — and not harm an animal in the process. From animal print to army green, it’s up to you how you’ll translate this look from the runway to your personal closet. Feeling bold? Lean into the Color of the Year, Very Peri and feel Pretty in Purple. Runway models donned purple skirts, dresses, and bodysuits — and so can you! Confidence is key. The fashion world has been equally enamored with red lately. It’s a power color that says, “look at me. I’ve arrived.” Whether a dress, skirt, or coat, it’s certain to send a message loud and clear that you’re a force to be reckoned with. The same can be said of another trend: cowboy boots. Who isn’t impressed by a woman who can effortlessly wear these without looking like they’re working on a ranch? Calf-length, knee-high, and other styles are popular and look great paired with dresses and jeans alike. a
