If you ask us, cold weather makes for the best outfits. There’s just something about the warmth and cosiness of a chunky knit sweater or faux-fur-lined boots that summer styles simply can’t compete with. If you’re excited about the change of seasons and are looking for fun fashion inspo for autumn or winter, look no further than our pick of the style must-haves for this year’s chillier months. From cute accessories to luxe cashmere and statement coats and jackets, we’ve got everything you could want right here.
Casa Leaena’s Red Tauro Vest – Vests can be a divisive piece of clothing. Some say they’re cheesy or old-school, but others – ourselves included – say they can be a stylish addition to a well-considered outfit, perfect for elevating a classic jeans and T-shirt combo or a little black dress. And even better if they come in a striking colour or pattern. Take a look at Colombian brand Casa Leaena’s take on the style: the Red Tauro Vest.
GANNI’s Ruffled Knit Collar – Feminine Scandi style is within arm’s reach with this stunning, shimmering GANNI Ruffled Knit Collar. The detachable collar, with its oversized silhouette and playfully ruffled edges, is the perfect way to amp up any blouse, sweater or coat. Just think of your crispest, whitest shirt layered underneath this fuzzy knit – a dream, right?
Free People’s Winnie Waffle Cuff Beanie – When you accept the fact that no autumn or winter outfit is truly complete without weather-appropriate headwear, it becomes a lot easier to put a look together. To keep purchases to a minimum this season, try opting for simple styles in easy-to-combine colours, like this Free People Waffle Cut Beanie. A light, neutral colour, feminine yet simple, it will be the perfect addition to top off any casual look, no fuss necessary.
Uniqlo’s Ultra Light Down Relaxed Coat – If you throw the words “comfort”, “classic” and “affordable” into a hat and shake it around, it’ll probably throw Uniqlo back at you. Okay, not literally, but you get our point! The Japanese casualwear giant is well-regarded for its high-quality, durable pieces that don’t come with a hefty price tag. Our personal favourite this season? This water-repellent relaxed quilted coat.
Comme Des Garçon Play’s Two-Tone Knitted Jumper – This season, bring out the retro vibes with this classic two-tone Comme Des Garçons knitted jumper. A simple, straight-forward and reliable design, it’s elevated by the colour combination and the iconic CDG heart motif on the front – you’ll likely find yourself reaching for it, well, all the time, as such a piece can be paired with just about any basic, from light-wash jeans to tennis skirts and sneakers.
Warm Fuzzy Socks – When you grow up and reach a certain level of maturity in your life, socks quickly go from a dreaded present to something you’re always lacking – and are always happy to receive. We scoured the web for the cosiest-looking pair and came across this very affordable set of six pairs of fuzzy, soft-looking socks that just scream for a blanket and a book. Just imagine how they must feel!
Anna Quan’s Jordan Ribbed Cotton Wide-Leg Trousers – Take a much needed break from denim, and get comfy in these cute, relaxed, cotton wide-leg trousers by Anna Quan. The Australian up-and-comer uses only the best materials, and these Jordan trousers not only feel like high-quality loungewear, they’ve also been designed to hug every curve just so. Wear them around the house or spice up your look with a cardigan and nice shoes to wear them out, it’s up to you.
Arch4’s Green Cashmere Mittens – These are a bit of a splurge, so if you want to treat yourself or are looking to impress a special someone, they’re the perfect fit. Arch4’s Vantaa mittens are knitted from only the best, softest GOTS-certified baby goat cashmere. This chunky model, with the proper care, will last you for years on end, and its green hue will complement many of your outfits beautifully. We’ve already added them to our wishlist.
MAZ Manuela Álvarez’s Plush Leather Jacket – Personally, we’re big fans of statement jackets. You know, the kind you wear out to the pub or the supermarket and strangers just can’t help but ask about. Those jackets. This Manuela Álvarez plush leather jacket fits easily into that category. With its ‘80s biker style and indigenous vertical loom belt, it’s just bound to catch all the stares – and get all the compliments. It’s also available in both black and tan, so you can take your pick according to your personal style.
STAUD’s Hampton Knit Sweater – We know what you’re thinking. This sweater is giving off the vibes of a chic woman sipping tea in front of her fireplace in her coastal cottage. Diane Keaton in a 2010s rom-com. Oh, isn’t that just what we all want out of life? You know what they say: dress for the life you want! The Hampton sweater by STAUD is here to help you live out your movie-worthy dreams.
Acne Studios’ Vesuvio Stripe Wool-Blend Scarf – Stockholm-born and -based casualwear label Acne Studios has long been a favourite fashion player for connoisseurs around the globe, with many of their pieces quickly reaching icon status. This time around, though, instead of one of their well-known bestsellers, we’re opting for this soft statement scarf. Fringed, fuzzy and vibrant, it’ll brighten any gloomy winter day.
& Other Stories’ Mock Neck Sweater – Sometimes all you need is a trusty sweater to cuddle up in when it’s too cold to face the outdoors. We think this & Other Stories’ Mock Neck Sweater might just be the one you’ve been looking for. Made from recycled polyester, its ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem, along with its dropped shoulders, straight silhouette and crisp colour, will make it one of your favourite pieces in no time.
The North Face’s Etip Recycled Gloves – There are few things as annoying (and even as dreadful) as having to take your gloves off on a cold winter day just to use your phone. We’ve got a solution, though: These practical and affordable Etip Gloves by trusted American brand The North Face. Warm, stretchy and made from 93% recycled fabric, they’re touchscreen-compatible, so such a horror is one you won’t ever have to face again.
COS’ Short Padded Hooded Cape – Sure, sometimes you have to trade style for comfort and practicality, but what if you didn’t have to? What if you could be warm and comfortable and dry – and still look good? Like us, COS has the same mindset, and this pretty and practical quilted hooded cape is probably your best bet for looking great under the rain or snow. An added bonus? The price tag.
Patagonia’s Down With It Jacket – We couldn’t make a list of weather-friendly fashion without including Patagonia. Especially not after their founder just gave away the entire company to help fight against the climate crisis. If you’d like to support their honest cause, purchasing one of their extremely long-lasting, high-quality pieces wouldn’t hurt. How about this 100% recycled jacket?
