Winter Edit: 5 super cozy & warm Add-to-cart items that you absolutely shouldn't miss

COVER STORY / 2021-11-01

Shake off the days of sweatpants and night suits, and get ready to slip into a leather pantsuit or a cut-out knit dress. After several months inside, runways are finally back. The glamorous world of Haute Couture is ready to put the right colors, patterns, and holiday season pieces into action for all-winter 2021. This year has been all about expression through experimentation, body positivity, and a touch of glitz – i.e. maximalism is in. As we all start going out and showcasing our clothes, fall-winter 2021 is about embracing chic outfits and having a great time. Whether you are wild for mini dresses or gaga over evergreen winter silhouettes, here are the top fashion trends for AW21 that are hot right now.

Double denim but make it dark

Start the season right in a dark denim ensemble. The head-to-toe denim outfit combines the effortless chic styling of monochrome denim with a subtle cozy vibe. Perfect for a fun day out or an evening at the hottest bar, try the ’70s inspired double denim trend this season. Darker hues of blue and grey are the hottest right now. Think beyond a denim shirt and go for denim blouses that are cinched in at the waist or are ballooning from the sleeves. Mix and match with cutouts, skin-tight bottoms, and everything in between. This trend will give you a lot of room to play around with, so style it as you wish and have fun.

Pop of Color

A bright colorful coat is the ideal winter piece that has the ability to enhance even the most basic ensembles. A sunshine yellow or tart-purple coat can make a sharp outerwear piece in your fall-winter wardrobe that will stand out in a sea of black-brown coats. If you’re feeling experimental, go for a fuschia pink, ink blue, and tangerine orange this season. Incorporating a colorful overcoat in these vivacious hues will make jaws drop and heads turn, while of course making a unique statement. Earlier popularized in the early 2000s, bright hues are back in full swing. Moreover, a playful coat is an instant mood-booster. Designers have embraced this palette on the runway this year, including Versace, Moschino, Prada, and many others.

Seasonal tones, Knits and Dresses

FW2021 runways have brought in a wave of change to the longstanding earthy-monochrome hue reign on the winter wear category. Opt for a warm red-brown tone this year instead and create festive looks as you play with textures. Knitwear is having a major moment and it is a wearable trend with a real staying power. Especially maxi dresses in warming hues and light wavy textures will ensure a snug body frame. These make great casual or semi-formal attire. The chic knit maxi dresses envelop your figure, creating a sultry silhouette. If you enjoy layering similar shades or minimalist hues, the seasonal hued maxi dresses will be easy to work with. Complete the look with strappy sandals, sneakers, or knee boots for a chic fall-winter style.

Shades of Green

Speaking of colors for fall, a favorite from the runways this season is minty shades of green. Reflective of nature and the outdoor elements, the green color was highlighted by Pantone for its playful vibe. The pastel lime green or pistachio green makes for a great monochrome ensemble. If you aren’t a fan of lighter tones, go for a Grassy Green, neon, or olive to add a breath of fresh air to your wardrobe. If you need an easy way to brighten up your day, let a green on green combination do the trick.

That 70s show

Winter will continue to mirror the 70s era of burnt oranges, electric blues, and olive hues, while mastering prints like monochrome aztec and hippie-paisley. Whether you choose to wear a corduroy suit or prefer to subtly strut in a pointy collared blouse, paying homage to the comfy 70s period will be easy to do.
