5 Cozy Trends to Keep You Warm This Winter

Cold winter months have a way of providing the fun challenge of marrying form and function when it comes to our style. And in the midst of this “arctic blast” we’re facing across the United States, let’s just say that challenge is proving to be a little extra difficult this year. Luckily, as fashion trends continue to emerge this season, these 5, in particular, are putting in the work to keep us nice and cozy.

Balaclavas

This cozy hat/scarf lovechild has made its way off the ski slopes and onto the street. It’s shaping up to be a super chic answer to the call of winter hats of years past. Warning: trying a balaclava, might leave your beanies, pom hats, and fuzzy buckets feeling a bit neglected.

Luxe Loungewear Sets

If you’ve had a hard time budging from your lockdown-era loungewear, this one’s for you. Slipping into a cashmere or soft cotton set on a cold day is arguably as delicious as a cup of cocoa. Plus, it’s pretty amazing how elevated, mature, and stylish one can look while practically wearing blankets.

Tie-front cardigan 

The cutsie tie front cardi trend seems to be on the rise this winter. It has that nostalgic 90s/Y2K vibe that’s still going strong. But it’s also a really fun way to play with dimension in your layers as you go about trying to keep yourself warm.

Knit dresses 

The knit dress is such a reliable stable for the fall and winter. And it hasn’t gone anywhere this year. It’s comfortable, cozy, about as casual or elevated as you want to make it, and it can be super flattering on many different body types.

Uggs (And Other Sheirling Lined Shoes)

Looking around, it’s definitely safe to say: Uggs are back with a vengeance. The 2010’s Australian boot certainly went through a ‘what-was-I-thinking’ era after its original boom in popularity. But if we’ve learned anything it’s to never underestimate the power of a dated shoe trend that people are calling “ugly”.
