Staple Pieces for Your Winter Wardrobe

The winter season can be a great time to experiment with your style. The cold weather allows you to layer and pair different articles of clothing together. Here is a list of signature staple pieces for any winter wardrobe, no matter what your sense of style may be.

1. Staple Jacket/Coat

Whether your choice of outerwear includes a trench coat, puffer jacket, bomber jacket, or leather jacket, etc., a basic jacket that can match with any outfit while keeping the cold out is a definite choice for any winter wardrobe. To ensure versatile use in between outfits, sticking with a plain color is always a safe way to go.

2. Black and Denim Jeans

A good pair of jeans can go a very long way throughout any season. I suggest having a staple pair of both black and denim jeans. This allows you to wear your jeans on days that you would like to dress up or dress down.

3. Oversized Sweaters/Crew Necks

On days when it is not significantly cold outside, a good oversized sweater or crew neck is the way to go. These tops can be paired with jeans, leggings, sweatpants, track pants, etc. The versatility of these pieces allows for both a stylish look and a casual day-to-day look.

4. Boots

Boots are a big staple, and a good quality pair of boots could keep you covered for the next couple of winters or longer. There is a vast amount of different styles and types of boots to choose from. This makes it easy to find a style that fits your preference the most, while complimenting all of your ensemble options.

5. Beanies/Baseball Caps

Not only are these accessories super affordable, but they can also be very stylish. You can collect beanies and baseball caps in many different patterns and colors. Plus, you can't beat anything that helps to protect your head and ears from the cold!

6. Solid-Colored, Long-Sleeved Bodysuits/Fitted Tees

Basic long-sleeved tops are another piece of clothing that is easy to dress up or down. You can pair these tops with anything. I like to stick with colors such as black, white, beige, navy blue, and gray for starters. There are many shopping outlets that sell these pieces at affordable prices.

7. Scarves

Scarves are one of my favorite things to add to every outfit. Scarves double both as a fashionable piece to an outfit and a barrier between you and the cold weather. Whether you like to keep it simple or experiment with fun patterns and designs, you can never go wrong with including a scarf or two (or more) in your closet.

8. Sweatpants

Sweatpants have come a long way when it comes to fashion. As we see on the runways and magazines, our favorite house wear has widely upgraded to a staple piece for everyday outfits. From high-end sweats to low-end, there is no denying the absolute comfort that comes along with it.

I hope that this list can make your winter shopping and outfit pairing a simple, fun process. Please let me know if you'd like to see more fashion posts similar to this one.
