Winter Outfits: Stay Warm and Fashionable All Season Long
, by Lewkin Unnie, 8 min reading time
Winter is the season where fashion gets real. You can’t just throw on a cute top and call it a day — it’s all about layering up, staying cozy, and still looking like you’ve got your life together. But here’s the thing: bundling up doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style. In fact, winter might just be the perfect excuse to flex those fashion skills.
At Lewkin, we’re all about balancing warmth with that "I look good and I know it" energy. Think oversized coats, cozy knits, and outfits that work as hard as you do to keep it stylish in the cold.
That’s why we’re breaking down how to stay warm and fashionable all season long — because, trust us, you deserve to look fire, even when it’s freezing.
What’s So Special About Winter Fashion Anyway?
First things first, what’s the big deal about winter fashion anyway? Isn’t it just about staying warm? Sure, but winter outfits hit different.
Here’s why:
- Layers are the MVP: Winter gives you a free pass to layer like a pro. It’s not just about staying cozy — it’s about mixing textures, playing with proportions, and creating a whole look that screams, “I planned this” (even if you didn’t).
- Cozy meets cool: From chunky knits to oversized coats, winter fashion is where comfort and style collide. You get to feel like you’re wrapped in a blanket while looking runway-ready.
- Accessories galore: Hats, scarves, gloves, boots — you get to pile on the extras that take your outfit to the next level. Bonus: they’re also functional.
- Timeless tones: Think earthy neutrals, deep jewel tones, and winter whites. The season’s color palette practically styles itself.
In short, winter fashion is about turning necessity into an opportunity. Cold weather might be unavoidable, but looking boring isn’t.
Warm and Fashionable Winter Outfits
Ready to turn up the heat while keeping your winter fits on point? Let’s break down the looks that’ll have you serving cozy chic all season long.
The Oversized Puffer Moment
Our Glossy Puffer Jacket is everything right now. Throw it on over a chunky cable-knit sweater, add a pleated mini skirt and tights, and finish with some chunky boots. It’s giving warm, stylish, and effortlessly cool all at once.
Preppy Cool
The Graphic Lettering Knit Sweater with our Waist Banding Pleated Mini Skirt is your go-to combo for that classic preppy energy. Add a midi blazer to pull it all together. This look is perfect for coffee runs or campus strolls when you want to feel cute but low-key.
Snow Day Casual
Oversized striped button-ups are having their moment. Throw one on under a sherpa-lined jacket and pair it with Straight Leg Fleece Pants and sneakers. It’s comfy, it’s cute, and it’s exactly what you want for snowy errands or chill days.
Night Out Energy
When the plans call for a little extra, grab the Faux Leather V-Neck Vest and pair it with high-waisted trousers. Add ankle boots and a wool coat, and you’re good to go. It’s sleek, stylish, and totally night-out-approved.
Weekend Brunch Vibes
Our Cozy Cable Knit Sweater and Mid Waist Pleated Mini Skirt with Belt are a match made in brunch heaven. Knee-high boots? Yes. A beret? Absolutely. It’s giving Parisian chic, minus the plane ticket.
Luxe and Sophisticated
A tailored wool coat with our Crop Wide Collar Vest and Checkered Mini Skirt just screams “main character.” Add gold jewelry and a clutch bag to finish. It’s polished without feeling like you tried too hard.
Ski Lodge Fantasy
Pretend you’re hitting the slopes (even if you’re just hitting the couch) with our Faux Fur Winter Jacket over a fitted turtleneck. Pair it with high-waisted denim and ankle boots for that après-ski look that works anywhere.
Denim, but Make It Winter
Denim jackets aren’t just for fall. Wear one over a chunky sweater and fleece-lined leggings for a cold-weather remix. Add a plaid scarf and our Buckle Midi Boots to keep things edgy but winter-ready.
Quilted Perfection
Quilted Jackets are a winter staple that’s anything but boring. Throw one over a slim-fit knit dress and finish with heeled boots and a bold handbag. It’s perfect for a day out or a night on the town.
Monochrome Mood
All black, all day. Our Classic Long Trench Coat in black over a fitted dress with tights and ankle boots is sleek and iconic. Add a pop of color with gloves or a scarf, and you’re officially winter’s best-dressed.
What Should You Avoid When Dressing for Winter?
We’ve covered how to slay winter fits, but let’s be real — sometimes, things can go left real quick. The wrong choices can take your look from chic to “Why did I leave the house like this?” Don’t worry, though — we’ve got your back.
Here’s what not to do this season.
Don’t Skip Practicality for the Gram
We get it — fashion first, right? But freezing in a barely-there jacket for the sake of a cute photo? Not worth it. Make sure your outfit actually keeps you warm while serving looks. Fashion can be both functional and fabulous, promise.
Don’t Overdo the Layers
Piling on every sweater and scarf you own might seem like the answer to staying warm, but it’s a one-way ticket to looking like a marshmallow. Stick to well-fitted pieces and layer strategically — think sleek thermals under your main outfit.
Don’t Neglect the Accessories
Winter accessories aren’t just for warmth — they can totally pull a look together. Skipping gloves, scarves, or hats can leave your outfit feeling unfinished. Go bold with matching sets or a statement piece that pops against your coat.
Don’t Forget About Footwear
Thin-soled sneakers or anything without grip are just asking for a slip-and-slide situation. Opt for stylish boots with good traction — chunky soles are in anyway, so it’s a win-win.
Don’t Ignore Proportions
Oversized coats are cute, but pairing them with equally oversized pants or skirts can drown your frame. Balance big outerwear with slim-fit bottoms or vice versa to keep your outfit looking put-together.
Don’t Underestimate Color
Winter doesn’t mean everything has to be black, gray, or beige. Add pops of color with bright scarves, bold gloves, or a fun beanie to keep things lively and unique.
Don’t Skip Quality
Cheap fabrics that don’t insulate properly will leave you cold and regretting your life choices. Invest in coats and sweaters that actually do the job while keeping you stylish. Bonus points if they’re sustainably made — your future self (and the planet) will thank you.
Don’t Overthink It
Trying too hard to match every single piece can make your outfit feel stiff. Winter is the perfect time to mix textures, patterns, and vibes for an effortlessly cool look. If it feels good, wear it.
