Department stores are displaying Christmas trees in every window and the smell of pumpkin spice lattes greet you in every coffee shop. These sights and sounds signal your cue to pack away your summer wardrobe and embrace everything 2013’s winter trends have to offer.
Don’t know how to start building your new winter wardrobe? No problem. We’ll walk you through 5 fool-proof fashion tips to help you prepare for the holiday season in style.
1. Trench coats
This winter, knee-length trench coats are trending like nobody’s business. If you want to combine style and comfort, be sure to invest in a classic button up trench coat that boasts a wool blend. From traditional blacks to caramel hues, designers have you covered with a whole host of colors and styles to choose from.
Once you’ve picked up a gorgeous winter coat, like the chic, tailored Larry Levine Classic Walker from Macy’s, you’ll find you can easily pair this statement piece with a number of other staples in your wardrobe. We recommend combining your trench coat with a pair of opaque navy tights and a set of sexy black boots with a slight heel to elongate your legs.
2. Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans are a staple of winter fashion for women. Why? Because they’re so versatile and work perfectly as a part of layered outfits. Not only does their tight fit give an illusion of longer legs, but their capability to stretch can also flatter most figures.
As for the color, a pair of black or navy skinny jeans should be a wardrobe essential. However, mauve is trending as part of fall’s sultry color palette and could make a nice change for girls who usually stick to classic blacks.
Target’s embraced the skinny trend and currently stocks a huge range of jeans for all figures. The mid-rise Mossimo Women’s Skinny Denim jeans come in both regular and plus sizes. With their very reasonable price tag, they make a great choice for women trying to beef up their winter wardrobe.
Your new skinny jeans will serve you well. Pair them with your trench coat for a feminine look with an edge, or wear them with an oversized boyfriend jumper and UGGs for a cute and casual style that your lover will find deliciously endearing.

3. Tartan print
Tartan is quickly becoming a must have item for winter fashion for women. Recently popularised by the gorgeous Cara Delevinge, tartan is taking the fashion world by storm. You can’t go wrong with a preppy but fierce tartan skirt that finishes at mid-thigh. To add to that sassy school girl look, don your favorite pair of tights, a white blouse and a navy cardigan. A pair of black Mary Janes will complete the look.
Check out this sexy, hip-hugging red tartan skirt from Amazon for the perfect example of a versatile tartan piece!
4. Sweater dresses
On days you’ve had enough of the sweater and jeans combo, a sweater dress makes an excellent and stylish alternative. Sweater dresses are luxuriously warm and soft but can still be worn without giving you a dressed-down appearance. A tailored sweater dress should also emphasise your assets while disguising any lumps and bumps on your figure.
Speaking of bumps, sweater dresses are also a fabulous addition to the wardrobe of expectant mothers. Oh Baby by Motherhood’s Empire Sweaterdress challenges the assumption that maternity wear can’t be sexy. With a scoop next and pleated skirt, this knee skimming dress will offer an impressively flattering fit for the duration of your pregnancy. Wear it alone or with tights. This is another outfit that you can make a little more edgy by accompanying it with a pair of knee-high or ankle boots.

5. Boots
One of the greatest fashion tips we can give you is to invest in a pair of good quality (p)leather boots for winter. They’ll protect your feet from the cold at the same time as lending your outfits a streetwise appeal that will complement and offset your femininity perfectly. While you can’t go wrong with lace ups, riding boots are hot on trend this season.
If you’ve got long legs, you can get away with knee or thigh high boots, such as the black Frye Women’s Melissa Button Back Zip boots. If you’re more on the petite side, shorter boots will flatter you better. Try on a pair of Frye Women’s Melissa Button Zip shoes. They end mid-calf, which will help to elongate your legs.
Remember, a quality pair of boots can be worn with all of the other winter trend pieces of clothing we’ve covered so far !
Now that you’ve got a good idea of what’s on offer, it’s time to go out and buy a few gorgeous statement pieces to mix and match this winter. Happy shopping !
