The ten essentials every girl need for the perfect winter wardrobe. Winter fashion can be so much fun when you have the basics right. Layering, fun fabrics like velvet and fuax furs, the variety of shoes and great outerwear options, means you can really get creative. These are on trend ideas for your winter essentials.

1. ANKLE BOOTS

In flats and heels there are a huge variety of cute ankle boot options. This winter try black Chelsea boots or combat boot styles. You can never go wrong with a high heeled ankle boot to dress things up and keep your feet warm at the same time. Play with tones too! White boots are very popular in 2021.

2. JUMPERS

A wool jumper is definitely an essential. Wool help regulate your temperature so you’re not too hot or too cold. Great for when you’re walking in and out of heated places. Chunky knits are a must have. While creams and neutrals are good basics, try an on trend colour like emerald green.

3. COATS

A long winter coat that you can wear over everything is a must have. A Tan or Black is a perfect staple but a check or tartan can add some colour and flair to your winter style. Don’t forget leather trench coats are on trend for Winter 2021 and make great everyday coats.

4. LAYERING

Cute tops that can be easily layered under jumpers jackets and coats are great in winter. Here are some of the best options for winter this year.

5. LONG BOOTS

Knee length and over the knee boots are the perfect winter shoe day or night! Here are some of this seasons hottest options. Croc look and suede are especially on trend.

6. CASUAL DRESSES

Dresses in winter can be tricky. Luckily knit dresses are super popular right now. Opt for sleeves for warmth and play with colours. Greens and neutrals or rusts and browns are great winter colours that have been popular with designers this season.

7. PANTS

I do find myself reaching for jeans a lot in winter but I wanted to give you some better options. Here are the on trend options for pants this winter. Leather pants will be everywhere so its worth trying on a pair and seeing if ithey’re your new look!

8. RAINCOATS

Living in a rainy city like Melbourne I do have a nice collection of rain coats and they can be a fun and creative element to winter style. While I do love a bit of colour for a rain coat, a transparent one that shows off the outfit underneath is my favorite! Don’t forget that the trench coat was designed as a raincoat so if you get the right one they make a great staple in all winter weather.

9. MINI SKIRTS

This might not be your first thought when thinking winter fashion but they make great options with tights, long boots or even ankle boots. Mini skirts in thick winter fabrics are also very flattering and look great paired with chunky knits.

10. WINTER COCKTAIL DRESS

We can’t let winter stop us from going out! That’s why its important to have the perfect winter cocktail dress for a night out. You can afford to embrace trends like cut outs and spaghetti straps but opt for thicker fabrics like velvet for example. You will also want to bring a coat for getting to and from your destinations because the weather shouldn’t decide what you wear but its pretty chilly out there!
