How to dress casually in winter
What does casual winter style look like?
It's the outfit for errands, coffee, a long walk or a weekend away: comfortable, warm and still put together. The formula is simple: a soft top layer (a sweater, a sweatshirt or a flannel), easy bottoms (straight jeans, cords or relaxed trousers), a warm jacket and shoes you can walk in. What makes it look considered rather than thrown on is a coat that fits and colors that go together.
How do I keep a casual outfit warm?
Start with the jacket. A puffer or a parka is the warmest for its weight; a shearling-lined trucker or a wool overshirt works on milder days. Add a beanie and a scarf before reaching for a thicker sweater: you lose a lot of heat through your head and neck. Lined jeans, or a thermal layer under regular denim, make a bigger difference on a long walk than a heavier coat.
What can women wear instead of jeans?
Leggings under a long sweater or an oversized sweatshirt, wide corduroy trousers, or a knit midi skirt with tights and boots. All of them go with the same puffer or wool coat, so one coat carries the whole week.
Boots or sneakers for casual winter outfits?
Boots whenever the sidewalk is wet: a lug-sole Chelsea or a lace-up boot goes with jeans, cords and leggings alike. Leather sneakers are fine on dry, cold days. Keep canvas and mesh sneakers for spring; they soak through in slush and salt marks them.
How do I make a casual winter outfit look less sloppy?
Fit and color. A coat that ends at the hip or below the knee rather than mid-thigh over a long sweater; trousers that touch the shoe without pooling; and no more than three colors across the outfit. One leather piece, a bag, a belt or boots, makes knitwear and denim look finished.
Questions people ask
What is a good casual winter outfit for women?
A chunky cream sweater, straight blue jeans, a long camel coat or a black puffer, and brown or black ankle boots. Add a scarf and a crossbody bag, and it works for errands, lunch or a museum.
Can I wear a hoodie in winter?
Yes, as a middle layer: under a wool coat, a puffer or a shearling-lined jacket, a hoodie looks intentional. On its own it's only warm enough for short trips on mild days.
Are leggings warm enough for winter?
Regular leggings aren't, on their own, below about 40°F. Fleece-lined or thermal leggings are, especially with a long coat and boots that cover the ankle.
What colors work for casual winter outfits?
Easy neutrals that all go together: navy, grey, cream, camel, olive and brown, with blue denim. Then the coat, the knit and the boots can be mixed every day without thinking.
