It's no secret that winter can be brutal in the Midwest. With its bitter winds and chilly temperatures, it's easy to feel like winter will never end! But don't let the harsh weather keep you inside this season—instead, embrace it with these trendy outlooks that will have you ready to face it head-on. From cozy sweaters to stylish jackets, here's what's hot this season!
Insulated Jackets
If you love timeless and classic outerwear, then The North Face Men's Thermoball Full Zip Jacket is the perfect choice for you and your everyday needs—it's lightweight but warm enough to keep you snug as a bug in a rug on those chilly days outdoors.
For those looking for a more fashion-forward outerwear piece, check out Canada Goose Men's Kensington Parka— it’s heavy enough to keep you warm on blustery days but has a tailored fit that won’t look bulky under your favorite coat or sweater.
The North Face Women's Thermoball Full Zip Jacket and Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Jacket are also great choices for everyday use when it’s a little chilly outside and even have chest pockets for your phone or a small book.
Mini Skirt
If you're looking for a chic and comfortable outfit for the colder months ahead, look no further than the Mini Skirt. We have a wide variety of styles in different colors and lengths that will suit any woman's taste.
Try layering leggings under a mini skirt for an extra comfortable look during colder weather! We have ankle-length skirts perfect for all year round and go up to long maxi skirts that are great for going over tights or leggings when it gets cold in October and November. They come in red, black, purple, and many other colors so you can be sure there will be one that fits your style perfectly! Mini skirts are a must-have addition to any wardrobe whether you're dressing up or down because they go well with everything from shorts and boots on a casual day out, to heels when going somewhere nice.
Sleek Boots
Sleek black boots are a must-have for the fall and winter seasons. They're fashionable and functional, perfect for keeping your feet warm on brisk days or giving you that extra height in the snow. And with so many different styles and brands to choose from – there's no wrong way to go. Whether it's knee-high or ankle boots, they're sure to be a staple in your wardrobe this year!
Another trending pair of boots are combat boots. They're not your typical fashion-forward footwear, but that's why they're so unique and fun to wear – especially in fall weather. For example, ankle combat boots can be found in brown leather or grey suede and come equipped with stiletto heels for a more dressy look than a normal sneaker boot would offer. If you're looking for something trendier (and maybe even more comfortable!) consider platform combat boots as Timberland or UGG makes.
Dressy Scarves
A great accessory for any outfit is a scarf. Scarves can be worn in many different ways and can also double as a blanket or pillow if you're stranded outside without one. The simplest way to wear them is around the neck but there are other options as well such as over your head like a hoodie or around your waist, where it will drape over the front of your body like a skirt. They are very versatile pieces that never go out of style and come in so many colors and patterns that you'll never have trouble finding something you like.
Feather Weather
Feather is a company that designs and sells women's outerwear. Their goal is to produce clothes that are on-trend but also functional for the weather without breaking the bank. They have recently released their new Fall/Winter Collection for 2018 which includes their newest product- The Feather Down Coat. I was fortunate enough to receive one of these coats in exchange for an honest review and it is now my favorite coat of all time! The coat has a lightweight design which makes it perfect for layering on colder days while still being warm enough on its own during the fall and spring months. One of my favorite features about this coat is how versatile it is since it can be worn as both a casual or professional piece depending on how you style it.
Smart Gloves
It's cold outside and the days are getting shorter-time to start thinking about how you'll keep warm in the coming months. The key is finding a glove that will help keep you warm and still allow you to use your hands for work or other tasks. Whether you're just running errands or heading on a long hike, there are plenty of options available when it comes to gloves for men and women alike. Here are some of our favorites:
*Marmot – Their gloves feature Primaloft insulation which provides warmth without bulk, so they're perfect for any time of day (or night). They have a fleece lining on the inside that traps air pockets around your fingers which helps retain body heat no matter what time of year it is!
Leather
A piece of leather can be a great addition to any outfit; it is versatile and timeless. A leather jacket is a classic wardrobe staple that will never go out of style and has the ability to complete any look. It comes in many different styles and colors, so it’s easy to find one that fits your personal style. When shopping for one, keep in mind the size you want (i.e., do you want to layer your outerwear under it?) as well as how much coverage you want from the elements (do you need something heavy-duty for snow days?).
Another benefit of buying leather is that it’s an investment piece. In many cases, quality leather will hold up for years and maintain its shape or color throughout time.
