Looking to stay warm during the cold winter months but don’t want to compromise on style? Well, who says you can’t look great just because it’s winter?  While it is true that you need to be covered from head to toe to protect yourself from the harsh weather, you can still flaunt your personal style while you are at it. We are here to help you discover some of the must-have winter wardrobe staples this season that are sure to make heads turn.

Do not expect to find on this list the classic black boots that everyone owns, the white sweatshirt that could very well belong to your boyfriend or the boring striped blazer that will make sure you blend in with the crowd. These are some of the most trendy pieces and accessories from top brands like Staple & Hue Women Dresses that are worth splurging on this year.

So, before any further delay, let’s have a look at some of the must-haves for this season:

1)     Velvet

Velvet has proven over time that it does not go out of style; it looks good on women of all ages and adds an instant touch of class to any look. Also, it is so versatile – you can easily wear it anywhere from the office to dinner with friends. From beautiful velvet dresses to the oh-so-chic velvet coats and tops, there are so many ways to rock this regal fabric this winter that you can have a blast experimenting with different pieces.

2) A cardigan in a dusty tone

Here is one of those great wardrobe basics that, depending on their quality, should be renewed year after year. Whoever has a cardigan in quality fabric this season – be it mohair, cashmere, virgin wool or alpaca – has a treasure.

Cardigans are perfect for wearing over a cotton shirt to work, a satin top for a night out or even a dress on those chilly evenings before winter officially starts. Of course, remember to choose it in a dusty color as they are very much in style and work well with other pieces.

3) A striped sailor T-shirt

This is a French wardrobe classic. The striped sailor t-shirt, whether short or long sleeve, is the perfect combination to many of those winter basics that you already have in your closet: from mom jeans and loafers to your leather jacket or oversized trench coat. Pair it with a warm red scarf around your neck; we assure you that you will not need anything else! (except for some red lipstick)

4) Straight silhouette jeans

Amidst the eternal battle between skinny jeans that nobody dares to get rid of from their closet and the fashionable wide-leg pants that are always eye-catching, we suggest you go for straight jeans instead. A straight silhouette in denim blue, neither too light nor too dark, is something that never goes out of style.

Invest in a good pair, and you won’t have to worry about buying a new one for years because, in addition to being gorgeous, they can be worn in so many different ways that you will never get tired of them.

5) Knee-high boots

Apart from protecting your legs from the cold, knee-high boots look beautiful and are a must-have for your winter wardrobe. Pair them with a nice top, your favorite skinny jeans or a cute miniskirt and you get a look that is sure to turn heads. You can even wear them with a dress and complete the look with a nice leather jacket. The possibilities are endless!

6) Converse shoes

No matter what the trends of the season are in terms of shoes, the converse is a model that has survived the test of time and promises to complement all your looks with the same simplicity as a white shirt.

The classic low-profile white Converse not only goes with everything – be it a dress, jeans or a pleated midi skirt – but also represents the best of American style: comfortable, effortless and casual, without being over-the-top.

7) A long-sleeved navy blue dress

It does not matter if the dress in question is of knitted fabric or in a floral print: the key to getting this garment right is that it should be long-sleeved and navy blue. The reason? These are two characteristics that symbolize sophistication and maximum versatility. You can wear it both during the day and at night and it will work well with all kinds of footwear – be it a pair of pumps, sneakers or boots.

8) A herringbone coat

This coat looks super chic and keeps you super warm. A high-collared herringbone coat with jeans and knee-high boots or converse is a look that is sure to make a style statement. It will not let you down.

9) A leather travel bag

Surely you expected to find on this list the classic black leather shoulder bag that fits everything but one item that is more useful for those who travel often is a good travel bag. We do not recommend this because it is a trend this season but mainly due to its usefulness. If you invest well in this particular accessory, it’s a guarantee that it will prove its worth over the years.

10) A cherry red beanie

This cute accessory is a perfect wardrobe addition as it works well with black and red ensembles – and we are sure you will be wearing many of them this season.

11) Turtleneck Sweaters

Turtleneck sweaters are not only a fashion item. They can play the main role in any look. Besides, it is a very comfortable garment that you can wear with skirts and pants in different styles. Another unquestionable advantage of these sweaters is that they keep you super warm during those extra chilly days. So, invest in a few in different colors and you will be all set for this year.

Final Word

If you want to look your best this season, make sure to invest in some of these winter essentials. Mix and match earthy tones and warm colors, accentuating the look further with accessories and makeup. Remember, your winter wardrobe can be just as beautiful as your wardrobe for any other season as long as you know how to do it right. Good luck!
