When it comes to styling everyday outfits for winter, there are a lot of variables to consider. 1) Staying warm is of the utmost importance. 2) Being able to move in your many, many layers is another key factor. And 3) looking stylish, which doesn't have to fall to the bottom of your priority list. You'll be pleased to hear that there is a way to tick off all of these winter-dressing multitudes, and that's by following the exemplary outfits that I've laid out below.
Throwing open my wardrobe doors, I know I have all the pieces I need to create chic outfits this winter; what I'm lacking in is inspiration. As such, I've been saving casual winter outfit ideas on my Instagram for weeks now, and there are nine standout looks that I can't wait to try—most of which I'm pretty sure I can assemble with pieces I already own or, at the very least, close alternatives.
Scroll below to see casual winter outfit ideas fashion people are already wearing, along with current shopping options for each should you find something you want to invest in that you don't already own. Enjoy!
9 Casual Outfits I Can't Wait to Try in Winter 2024:
1. Blazer + Jumper + Leggings + Chunky Boots
Style Notes: If trousers aren't your thing that doesn't mean you need to pack up your leggings for good—with chunky-sole boots and cosy layers up top, you can just as easily carry your leggings with you into the winter season. Just add your favourite wool blazer into the mix.
Shop the Look:
Other Stories is known for having the best blazers on the high street.
An elevated layering piece.
The comfiest leggings you'll ever wear.
These will be crucial in so many of your winter outfits.
2. Faux Fur Coat + Trousers + Loafers
Style Notes: Faux fur outerwear has dominated the past few winters and makes for the perfect cosy and casual cover-up. Pair with trousers and either flats or boots for an easy finish.
Shop the Look:
Timeless.
I really rate Arket's trousers.
A wise investment you'll reach for year round.
3. Knitted Mini Dress + Tights + Loafers
Style Notes: A jumper dress is the simplest and most-effective casual winter outfit. All you need to add is a pair of loafers and cosy tights for extra warmth.
Shop the Look:
Chic, chic, chic.
M&S tights will never fail, in my humble opinion.
Rain or snow, these loafers won't falter.
4. Shearling Jacket + Knitted Joggers + Trainers
Style Notes: Shearling coats continue to fly off the shelves. There's something about them that makes anything you wear them with look polished; even joggers and trainers.
Shop the Look:
Mango's cult shearling jacket has just been released in this gorgeous chocolate brown colourway.
No contest, Tala does the best sweats.
This will never go out of style.
Give your outfit on-trend flair with a pair of New Balance kicks.
5. Tailored Coat + Pencil Skirt + Boots
Style Notes: Take your casual winter outfit cues from the '90s with a boxy coat and boots in a chic Bordeaux hue.
Shop the Look:
A cool-girl essential.
The styling possibilities are endless.
I've fallen hard for this sharply-tailored silhouette.
Burgundy is a major mood for 2024.
I genuinely can't believe this is from the high-street.
6. Roll-Neck Jumper + Cargos + Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Cargo trousers have been one of the biggest trends of the year; give them a wintery and elevated overhaul with the addition of a classic grey roll-neck and glossy boots.
Shop the Look:
A jumper you'll pull out again and again.
Cargos are taking a more streamline route this season.
COS's bestselling bag is back in a delicious toffee hue.
These boots are high on my winter wish list.
7. Wool Blazer + Joggers + UGG Boots
Style Notes: Monochrome dressing—wearing one colour top-to-toe—is a favourite styling hack of influencers and celebrities. Take a wool blazer, match it to your trousers, and complete your low-key look with on-trend Uggs.
Shop the Look:
There's something so luxe about a cream or white coat.
Cosy and cool.
The hardest boots to get your hands on this winter.
8. Scarf Coat + Jeans + Boots
Style Notes: Scarf coats are cropping up all over the shopping scene this season, but if you can't find one that works for you, you can re-create this look with your go-to jacket and a co-ordinating wrap-around scarf.
Shop the Look:
Isn't she a beauty?
This light-grey wash will go with so many colours in your wardrobe.
Brown leather never goes out of style.
9. Leather Separates + Flats
Style Notes: Leather fabrications are my go-to for when I want to feel extra-toasty; they always manage to keep the heat in. This season, fashion people are getting their fix by way of leather (real or faux) shirts, which goes perfectly with matching trousers and the embellished flats you likely bought in the autumn.
Shop the Look:
So sleek.
These timeless trousers come in an extended size range.
These will never date.
