- Knitwear Dress
If you only add one staple to your winter wardrobe, it needs to be a knitwear dress. These are amongst the most comfortable and versatile winter essentials. You can opt for a shorter length for night-time wear or go with a midi-length for ultimate options. You’re usually best to go oversized with your knitwear dress for a comfortable fit, you can always add a belt to accentuate your natural curves and pull-in your dress. Stick to neutral tones for an outfit that can take you from day to night.
- Dark Wash Denim
Jeans are one essential you always want to have in your wardrobe. For winter 2021, it’s all about dark wash or indigo blue jeans. While skinny jeans have been cancelled by TikTokers and fashion influencers, straight leg jeans are your best friend for winter. They’re perfect for slipping on under your ankle or knee-high boots and will keep you warm come rain or shine.
- Elevated White Shirt
One staple that every capsule closet and wardrobe needs is an elevated white shirt. You might think of this garment as a basic for your closet, but it is a must-have for winter. You can wear it under turtleneck jumpers or classic sweatshirts, or even under a dress for a modest look. Search around until you find one that is your perfect match.
- Weatherproof Sneakers
Sneakers are still dominating the shoe trends, but you want a weatherproof style that you can wear throughout the winter. Most fashion sneakers will see you through a little rain but can’t withstand a storm or snow. You want to choose a style with rubber soles that can withstand water damage. With the changing weather of winter, most of us try to stay away from open-toe shoes and stilettos. With rubber sole sneakers, you can stay comfortable and stylish without worrying about your shoes falling victim to the rain.
- Leather Jacket
One wardrobe essential that comes back every winter is a leather jacket. The beauty of this staple is that it only gets more beautiful with age. You can splurge on an investment jacket from a brand like All Saints or choose a budget-friendly option from ASOS. It’s the perfect transitional piece that will take you from autumn into winter and through to spring. You can wear it with anything from a floral dress to your favourite jeans and a graphic t-shirt. It’s one of the most versatile essentials that you can take with you anywhere.
