During the winter season, there are a handful of must-haves that everyone – regardless of personal fashion preference – should have in their wardrobe. It's all about the basics that form the foundation of any stylish wardrobe. But don't let the term "basic" underestimate the importance of these items. With a closet full of winter essentials, you can ensure that you are well protected from the cold during the colder months of the year, while also looking good. These timeless pieces never go out of style, extending your wardrobe and saving you money in the long run. So what should you have in your wardrobe this winter? These are the winter wardrobe must-haves you need.
A warm jacket
A warm coat is undoubtedly the most important wardrobe must-have of the season. In the winter, your coat is often the first part of your outfit that people see, so it's worth investing in one that's classic and good quality. Women's winter coats come in a variety of styles and colors, but if you're going to invest in one good winter coat, choose something that fits most of your wardrobe. Does this mean classic black, gray, camel or navy? Very likely.
Multi-layer sweaters
Sweaters are perfect for layering. The sweaters you need for a winter wardrobe should contain warm base layers, such as turtlenecks made of lighter materials to wear among other items. But also slightly thicker turtlenecks and sweaters with a round neck, which can be worn on its own or layered over or under another top. Finally, there are top layers, which can be as thick and warm as the weather permits – options include ultra-soft cashmere or chunky knit jumpers, as they're all ideal for pairing with lighter jumpers or blouses underneath.
Comfortable jeans
Good jeans can be worn all year round, and in no season is good jeans more important. Of course, there are jeans that are more winter-oriented. A looser, roomier style than you normally wear can be very comfortable. If you still want to feel feminine, you can combine your jeans with a nice cardigan, a blouse or t-shirt, and a pair of heels.
A knitted dress
Even though it's winter, you can still wear dresses. Knitted dresses are the perfect item for the colder months when you still want to look feminine. A long, thick wool dress can be paired nicely with a nice pair of knee-high boots and tights, tights or leggings. This gives you a relaxed, classy look. But a knitted dress is also nice with a pair of sneakers underneath. All kinds of shoes can actually fit under this must-have.
A soft scarf
A scarf is a must-have that should not be missing in your winter wardrobe. The perfect scarf is long, so you can create different shapes and styles. You can tie the scarf, let it hang loose or wrap it around your neck in various ways. Try buying an extra soft one to enjoy the soft feel and warmth. Or buy an oversized scarf to cover more of your body.
A hat
A winter hat is a must-have for many reasons:it helps keep you warm; you make a fashion statement with it; and it's ideal for hiding your bad hair day moment. Beanies come in different styles, so it is recommended to buy several to match your different outfit styles.
Good gloves
When our hands are warm, the whole body tends to feel warm. That's why a winter outfit is never complete without gloves. The best gloves are waterproof and windproof, warm and breathable. Buy a pair that gives you the freedom to use your hands. For example, if you want to use your phone, you don't have to take the gloves off every time.
