Winter Outfits That Aren’t Ruined by a Coat

Raise your hand if you ever felt personally victimised by sub-zero temperatures in your cute winter outfit. Exactly the same. However, your bulky parka doesn’t have to ruin a perfectly ‘gram-able ensemble. That warm winter coat will become your new favourite outfit addition if you style it correctly – and not just because it keeps you warm. But how do you wear the necessary winter layers so that they add to your lewk rather than detract from it? The secret is all in the rest of your ensemble. To begin, you should incorporate textures. If you’re wearing leather pants or a leather blazer, add a faux fur or suede jacket to mix things up. Color coordination can help you blend your winter jacket into the rest of your outfit, whether you’re going for a monochrome look or combining opposing colours on the colour wheel. Keep an eye on your ‘fit’s proportions to ensure that you’re balancing volume — if you’re wearing a huge puffer coat, sleek boots and form-fitting pants will keep the focus on you.

Athleisure and Pleathe
ultimate winter outfit hacks for those who despise the cold. The key is in the pants; wear a faux leather trouser over leggings. The thick fabric will keep the wind chill at bay while also looking super chic.

Fits in Monochrome
Match your puffer to your pants to avoid ruining your outfit because the coat is your outfit. Dua’s look is Balenciaga (note the pantaboots), but you can easily replicate it with any solid colour.

Media Combination
Barbie’s burgundy ensemble is one to emulate. She combines silky and tough textures, with hints of print ranging from the snakeskin in her jacket to the subtle geometric pattern on her pants.

Everything is bundled up
Everyone knows that ice skating is 50% about the skating and 50% about the ‘fits — for snow princess vibes, throw on an icy blue and grey scarf.

Layers of Art
It turns out that you can achieve the same look by wearing your cargos or ski pants over fleece-lined tights. Like, a choker layered over a turtleneck? This outfit is a masterclass in vintage-cool winter style.

Cool Kid Power
Yes, you can wear your favourite crop top in the winter if you pair it with a cosy beanie and a cool leather duster. If it’s particularly cold outside, layer a lightweight puffer zip-up underneath your leather jacket for added warmth.

Cropped Faux Shearling Jacket
A hoodie and mom jeans were worn with pointed-toe boots and a vintage-inspired shearling coat.

Off-the-Shoulder
The fashion girl secret to staying warm while showing off your outfit is to shrug your puffer slightly off your shoulders when posing for an OOTD photo.

Latex Casual
Add some latex to your leggings to channel Addison Rae. To add some chill vibes to the fashion staple, pair it with an oversized sweater or a boxy boyfriend blazer.

A Squeeze of Orange
This hue, which ranges from electric tangerine to neon orange and fiery rust, is an easy way to fake warm vibes (hello, sunshine colours) in the winter. Haley dressed down in a logo-striped dress and matching jacket.
