    Scarves

    When the temperature drops, a chunky, oversized scarf is the perfect winter accessory. Be on the lookout for rich colors and animal prints! Scarves can also work to help you achieve the layering trend you will be seeing a lot of this season.

    Oversized Outerwear

    This winter season, we are going to be seeing a lot of oversized clothing items and accessories. More specifically, oversized coats will be taking over outerwear. However, don’t have an oversized coat totally drown you. Be sure to pair it with something slim-fitting, such as skinny pants or a pencil skirt.

    Leather

    The must-have fabric of the season is leather. Leather was everywhere throughout fall, and it doesn't appear to be leaving just yet. Leather pants seem to be the most common way to wear this fabric. More specifically, slim-fitting leather pants have been popular, but recently, baggy leather pants have been spotted. Choose whichever makes you feel comfortable!

    Peplums

    It’s almost hard to believe that a spring trend has lasted all the way to winter, but peplums have! Probably because it’s a fashion trend that looks great no matter the body type. Find a peplum shirt, dress or even a jacket for this winter.

    Chunky-Heeled Pumps

    Chunky-heeled pumps might be the most helpful trend so far. Rather than struggling to last a day in thin-heeled stilettos, gain stability and a trendy look by purchasing a pair of thick-heeled pumps!
