Jackets
Jackets and blazers are a cult buy for winters. They act like the perfect layer for basic turtlenecks or any other fitted sweater to give the entire outfit a formal look while protecting you from freezing cold. We would recommend you get this puffer jacket from Forever New for the nude tone that will complement multiple outfits, whether you want to do colour-blocking or stay monotone. Other than this, you should also invest in corduroy jackets, warm blazers, and faux fur coats.

Shawls
One piece of clothing that we think everyone should invest in is shawls. They can be a beautiful addition to your outfit and keep you cosy, and of course, their versatility is off the charts. They go with everything depending on how you drape them. We can tell you that we're investing our paychecks in buying Pashminas, no explanation needed! We love this patterned shawl from WEAVERS VILLA. It can put a vibrant spin on all your neutral outfits and can work great for winter weddings too!
Pherans
Pherans are extremely warm and cosy and can be a whole outfit in themselves, giving you that extra bit of protection during the thick foggy days. They are super-comfortable, easy to style, and definitely warm. You can even put a belt on and turn a pheran into a cute winter dress. Elevate the outfit by complimenting the look with boots that match the belt!
Cardigans
For the days when comfort is your top priority, we suggest you get your hands on a cute and cosy cardigan that will last you for multiple winters. Oversized and cropped cardigans have been making waves right now, as they are warm as well as approved by the Pinterest gang. You can pair them up with dresses, bodycons, or even wear them above a thermal to stay light and warm.

Mufflers
Is there any such thing are too many mufflers? Don't think so. They are a perfect addition to add that little bit of oomph to your fit, so always more the merrier! You can wear them in the traditional way by simply draping them over the shoulders, or drape them in any other style you want, like wraparound, twisting to make a cute tie, or double knot it.
Tights Under Pants
Why should your legs freeze in the winter when the rest of you is cosy? Adding a pair of tights under your bottomwear is the perfect way to protect your legs from the cold. We would go with these tights from Sweet Dreams since they are ankle-length and in a shade that is always nice to don (even underneath). Also, bonus points for affordability!
Turtle Necks
Turtle necks, turtle necks, and more turtle necks! You can never have enough of this easy-to-style, versatile addition to your outfit! We score most of our turtle necks from Uniqlo, 98 Degree North, and High Star since they will be with you for many winters to come.
Sweater Vests
Trench Coats
Cool, classic, and comfortable, trench coats are trending again and we are so damn happy about it. What sets them apart from other coats is that they are long, loose, and waterproof (sometimes). These coats are mostly double-breasted and always interlined, which can be great when it comes to putting up a chic winter layering outfit. Those wide lapels and deep pockets make them all the more utilitarian and stylish!

Fleece Stockings
Wearing dresses and skirts when the temperature drops used to be hard, but now the fashion industry has come up with a solution for this as well. Enter dual-tone stockings with fleece lining that will not let your legs feel frosty at all! Moreover, the dual-tone, meaning skin-hued lining and black outer colour, would have people thinking that you are brave enough to keep your legs bare in the chilly weather. You can also play around with colours if you want to make your winter outfits look straight from the 70s!
