Looking for the best winter wardrobe essentials this year? Here are seven, must-have items for a stylish and cozy winter aesthetic.
An effortless winter wardrobe may sound impossible, especially when you’re in the midst of the season! I write this post amidst dropping temperatures and a snowy landscape, but from the comforts of a cozy home and the large heating pad I sit on.
Thank goodness for modern-day technology. This heating pad changes everything for me when it’s cold (thanks Mom!). But wearing that heating pad outside, strapped to my body, cord plugged into a portable charger is a far cry from a stylish winter outfit, in my opinion. 😹
All jokes aside, I’m sharing the next best thing to your personal heating pad: my favorite wardrobe essentials for winter. These timeless pieces supplement a capsule wardrobe and trendy outfits, making either suitable for the cold weather. I find myself returning to these winter clothes year after year, regardless of what’s trending.

Best Winter Wardrobe Essentials
1. Cozy Winter Coat
A cozy winter coat is the epitome of a stylish winter wardrobe. It’s less formal than a structured peacoat or elegant wool trench and versatile enough for casual outfits or going-out looks. Shearling coats and teddy fleece have a timeless boho vibe, while blanket coats are also chic.

2. The chunky Knit For Stylish Winter Outfits
The chunky knit is the most effortless piece for creating stylish winter outfits. Thrown over a pair of leggings and tall boots, belted with a skirt, or French-tucked into a pair of pants the outfit ideas are endless. Opt for neutrals or your favorite color to match the rest of your capsule.

3. Layering Tops To Supplement a Winter Capsule
Base layers are key to surviving a cold winter. They’re a must-have in my wardrobe basics checklist for fall NYC trips, chilly spring days, and working from home when I can’t warm up. One of my favorite winter layering tips is to wear a thin layer against the skin, which helps trap heat and makes looser-fitting items more wearable for winter clothes.

Shearling boots are the must-have shoes on this list of wardrobe essentials for winter. Whether it’s a pair of UGGs, a Chelsea boot, or a stylish tall boot, these winter boots are perfect for casual winter outfits, Après-ski, and trekking through the city during the holidays.

7. The MaXI SWEATER COAT
I’ve been obsessed with having a sweater coat (or maxi cardigan/duster cardigan) as part of my winter clothing list since my teen years. Something long to cover my butt, which often gets cold, especially in a pair of leggings or thin trousers. Plus, it’s like wearing a chic robe when you’re out and about. Another win-win for winter fashion.
