Winter is on its way and in some areas you might already feel Jack Frost nipping at your nose. With autumn rapidly coming to an end, you might be in a hurry to secure some of the top looks for this winter. Luckily, you won’t have to go too far to find the winter trends that all of the top celebrities and fashion gurus will be sporting. These ten tips will help you create a bold look while keeping you warm and comfortable no matter how cold the upcoming season gets.

1. Quilted Jackets
Quilted Jackets are the big deal this season, which is great considering they were also some of the top looks for the autumn months. If you have a quilted jacket, then you’re already set up for success. However, if you purchased a thinner jacket for the autumn months then you might want to use something to line the jacket and make it a bit thicker to get you through the cold snaps. Other than that, if you’re skilled with a sewing machine, you can also make quilted patterns on a puffer jacket that you already own. This can be a lot of fun and may even take your look to a whole new level. The quilted jacket is one of the best options to keep warm too, so you’ll get even more out of your money.

2. Loose Fitting Clothes
Grunge has been back in style for a little while now, so it only makes sense that loose-fitting clothing would be a wonderful option for your needs. You will find that you can show off almost any clothes and feel stylish if they are a size or two too big. However, some of the trendiest options for this season are going to be coats that look a bit larger on you. The easiest way to accomplish this is a trench coat, but there will be many other options online too. Sweaters are also easy to find baggy and pair well with a blouse. If you’re looking to save in this department, your local thrift store should have a ton of options.

3. Ribbed Clothing
This season, add a little texture to your day by showing off ribbed clothing. Ribbed clothes can actually help you stay a bit warmer, which is not bad if you don’t like to wear thick layers during the winter months. You can find ribbed clothing in everything from undershirts to turtleneck sweaters, which gives you lots of options to choose from. This will even give you the perfect look for layering, which will improve on your style while keeping you warm. Ribbed clothing can be slimming too, considering it offers vertical lines.

4. Bright Colors
Typically, we’ve seen a lot of dark colors dominating the winter months. This year, everyone is all about showing off the bright colors. You will find clothing that is traditionally worn during summer or spring on the sales racks this year. This can be great considering it will allow you to utilize some of the clothing that you already own. Try pairing brightly colored tops with cardigans, blazers, and overshirts to overcome the lack of warmth that your summer and spring clothes might offer. Of course, you will be able to find some great winter clothes that suit these color trends too.

5. Knits
Knits are a timeless look that you will be able to wear year after year. However, this year, knits are taking on a whole new life. You will find them in all shapes and sizes, which can allow you to have more versatility in your style. Best of all, you can alter the knits you already own to create new looks like vests. One of the most popular items this season is definitely going to be knit dresses. These are going to be cozy and will offer so much warmth that you’ll feel like you’re wearing a blanket all day long. You can also plan out a knit look that will also allow you to pair it with other trends for the season.

6. Fringe
Things will get a little western this winter as so many people are going to be rocking the fringe. One of the most popular items you will find fringe on this season is jackets, but you may also spot it on tops, vests and the occasional top. Of course, fringe found on boots or other items that you might have around the home will also help set you apart. If you don’t own anything with fringe and you’re not sure if you want to invest in the trend, then you can easily recreate the look on your own. There are many tutorials online to help you along the way.

7. Plaids
Plaid is a great way to dress up for the holiday season, but it is also going to be one of the top trends for the winter months. You will want to cater your plaid styles to the traditional holiday colors, but almost any plaid will do the trick if you’re hoping to keep up with trends. Plaid can be worn on anything and everything too. If you don’t want to invest in plaid items then you might consider adding plaid patches to your clothing to suit the trends. Of course, you should also be able to find a pair of leggings for a low price.

8. Leggings
One of the easiest trends to follow this winter is going to be leggings. You will be able to sport anything from winter-themed items to leggings that offer simple prints or solid colors.

You can also easily layer leggings with your favorite skirt for a vintage look that will continue to impress. You may even be able to find leggings on sale after the holidays, which will help you make your look even easier to keep up.
