It’s cold out, and since I need my body to spend most of its energy keeping me warm, I want my winter fashion to be as non-labor-intensive as possible. This time of year, I rely heavily on wardrobe staples that go with pretty much anything. Think oversize sweaters, easy ballet flats, and neutral blazers in muted prints. Layering is key. I’ve specifically been loving the way fashion people have been wearing knits on knits—tying a sweater over a sweater around their waist or draping a sweater over their shoulders on top of one they’re already wearing. This both looks chic and is practical when it’s so cold outside you don’t dare take your hands out of your pockets.
H&M, Free People, and Mango are bringing their A-game in the staple department right now. Keep reading for a full roundup of everything I'm loving ahead.
Perfect styling.
Crisp white jeans for a crisp winter day.
Timeless.
Oversize and sure to be overworked in your closet.
These are party-ready but could definitely be worn to a lunch date, too.
This jacket is reversible!
I love the look of a relaxed cardigan buttoned all the way to the top.
A great layering staple you can wear through spring.
I love the neutral color scheme here.
Cable me crazy.
I'd be all over this if I were going somewhere warm this winter.
Dark denim is it for 2025.
I'm swooning here!
In a sea of wide-leg trousers, straight legs are a breath of fresh air.
This skirt is almost sold out onReplica Store.
I love everything about this top.
In case you can't tell, these are deep burgundy and croc-embossed, and they would look incredible with black bootcut jeans and a blazer.
Cozy and chic is my favorite combo.
PSA: Free People makes some of the coziest sets out there.
Ideal for lazy weekend dressing.
The teeny, tiny houndstooth print is really special.
Ballet flats that feel more slipper-like are all I want to wear right now.
The perfect menswear-inspired coat.
This set would look so cute with a pair of crew socks and loafers.
For a good time, wear this shirt.
Hello, 2001!
The shape of these sunglasses is so good, and they come in several colors.
If I still lived in NY, this would be at the top of my wish list.
I like the idea of pairing these with an oversize double-breasted black coat and light-blue jeans.
I've been noticing retailers have been opting to style their looks with a black T-shirt instead of a white one recently, and I'm loving the change-up.
