All the Jumpers, Coats, Dresses and Boots You Need to Perfect a Cosy Girl Winter
Sponsor Content Created With Free People
A chilly winter is inevitable, but when it rolls around every year, the cold winds and dark afternoons still manage to catch most of us off guard. Summer is the most relaxed, carefree season, and autumn is a refreshing cooldown, but we're determined to make the most of this winter (inclement weather and all) and turn the snuggliest season into the most stylish yet. Instead of making a quick dash to find a pair of gloves or hurriedly pulling the old winter coat out of the closet, we've been carefully planning a fashionable yet functional wardrobe that's ready for anything. Whether your plans are, whether thats battling the great outdoors, hibernating at home or celebrating party season with your nearest and dearest, forget Hot Girl Summer—2022 is all about the Cosy Girl Winter.
We all know that winter staples are an important part of any wardrobe, but having your foundations in place is more important this season than most. While you might be thinking that basic has to mean boring, Free People's winter edit is proof that cold-weather dressing can still require minimal effort and have maximum impact.
Between its puffer coats, party dresses, sequined tops and scarves, Free People has just about everything you could possibly need for an effortlessly cool winter. And while we always head there for its bohemian-inspired tops that go perfectly with jeans and its best-selling summer dresses (for those who are awaiting the return of the Kalina dress, it's now back in stock!), we're currently obsessed with its heavy-duty shearling coats and fleeces. After all, what's better than wrapping up and heading out on a leisurely weekend walk?
To help you work your way through the hundreds of new pieces that have landed on the site, we've rounded up the key staples that that we're confident you can rely on. Keep scrolling to see and shop our edit of the best coats, knits, dresses, accessories and partywear at Free People this winter. Your wardrobe will thank you.
1. COSY COATS
Shop coats:
We're still obsessed with shearling, and this is one of the best new jackets we've seen.
From the A list to street style set, everyone is wearing longline maxi coats, and this puffer-trench hybrid ticks every box for fashion and function.
A slouchy, textured coat that also comes in understated camel and versatile black.
2. COMFORTABLE KNITWEAR
Shop knitwear:
Just when we thought a classic turtleneck couldn't get better, it now comes oversized and fringed.
All this knit needs is a pair of your favourite jeans and a chunky Chelsea boot to channel '90s grunge.
Is it a cardigan? Is it a jacket? In fact, it's more of a "jackigan." It has the soft, wooly feel of a cardigan with the thickness and faux-fur lining of an aviator jacket.
Stop buying the same black jumper year in and year out, and invest in a reliable pullover that will stand the test of time.
3. EASY DRESSES
Shop dresses:
All your favourite maxi dress needs to be ready for winter is a gilet or longline coat and a sturdy pair of boots.
This dress is made from a toasty thermal fabric to keep you that extra bit warmer.
Pair this maxi with flat boots or sleek platforms for easy ways to dress up or down.
For special occasions, you just can't beat a puff-sleeved, full-skirted midi dress.
4. COLD-WEATHER ACCESSORIES
Shop accessories:
You'll never be caught out in the cold again with an extra-long, extra-thick scarf.
On the days you'd rather be snuggled up inside, these fluffy slides are perfect as indoor slippers and comfortable outdoor flats.
Raise your hands if you've had ice-cold fingers this week. Problem officially solved.
There might be fur hats, balaclavas, deerstalkers, beanies and fedoras in every shop right now, but the beret never goes out of style.
There's nothing not to love about a shoe that combines two of our favourite styles: a loafer and an ankle boot.
5. WINTER PARTYWEAR
Shop party dresses:
If there's a more timeless, versatile dress than a simple, slinky black slip dress, we're yet to find it.
Amp up the sparkle factor this festive season in one of Free People's best-selling tops.
Now this is what we mean when we say "event dressing". An art deco inspired, vintage looking maxi that manages to be sheer, sparkly and seriously chic.
Want a dress that gets attention for all the right reasons? You got it. This silhouette is unforgettable.
Every so often, a shoe comes along that's the perfect combination of wearable heel height, statement detail and affordable price tag. This is that shoe.
Evening plans call for a new bag, and we're swapping boxy clutches for cute, mini pouches.
