One of the best things about being a Fashion major is that I get learn about all the new trends that are forecasting in the future seasons of fashion. There have been many trends that have been popping up for the upcoming winter season and they suit a lot of fashion styles.
Leggings are a huge staple for this season and I would definitely advise to pick up a pair or two of leggings. There are several different kinds that are offer more warmth, as well as ones that are for more upscale events. Leggings are commonly paired with spirit jerseys and sweater dresses. They should not be worn with plain crewneck sweaters because these offer less coverage.
Top handle neutral bags are going to be big with people like Taylor Swift and Olivia Pope on Scandal using them in everyday life this season. They are a classic bag that can be used for seasons to come and they come from varying designers. These bags can also be picked up at your local off-price retailer with an inexpensive price that can be available for everyone who wants to follow the trend.
Sweater dresses are becoming a reoccurring staple that is universal from season to season. They are amazing for holiday parties, being dressy for class, and staying warm and stylish in your home sitting around the fireplace. I own several of these and they are some of my favorite outfits to wear during the winter. It is similar to wearing your favorite warm up suit but looking very stylish and cozy while wearing it. They should definitely be paired with an awesome pair of leggings and can be dressed up with boots, flats, or heels.
Capes are very popular this season and I love how they are being worn! They are everywhere including department stores, off-price discounters, and specialty stores. Capes are similar to wearing a coat and can be very warm. This trend has been spotted in major northern cities across the country and many bloggers are picking them up left and right. Every body type looks amazing in this trend!
Blanket scarves are popping up everywhere and are a welcome change from the infinity scarf. They are so warm and can be picked up at almost any store. Blanket scarf prices can be anywhere from 20 dollars to 50 dollars. They are excellent for hiding the face for when the cold hits and your face is blasted with the cold wind.
Midi-coats are a new trend that I have seen in fashion magazines being worn by Cara Delevingne and others. It is a cross between coat styles that can be worn in different ways. There are going to be big sales on them during the Christmas holiday so it is definitely something to be considered for your warm winter coat this season.
