2022 Winter Fashion Trends

This Winter, it’s all about elevated classics: clean-cut silhouettes and closet staples paired with a personal and eclectic touch. Warm jackets, preppy skirts and functional shoes - this year’s Winter will be a playful yet practical rendition of smart-casual; with big accessories and a little baring of skin to keep things youthful and unique.

Quilted Jackets

Think Scandi style and Matilda Djerf: a quilted jacket is the perfect crossover between comfort and chicness. What better than a blanket-like jacket to wrap yourself in? Style with gold jewellery, a chunky sweater, jeans and loafers for a classic Copenhagen Fashion Week look. 

Leather Jackets

If you prefer a bit more edge and ‘rockstar girlfriend’ chic, a leather jacket is the perfect addition to your Winter wardrobe. Take a stroll around Portobello market as you look for the leather jacket to last you a lifetime.

Pleated Maxi Skirts

Think Chopova Lowena: maxi skirts are an easy thrift and so simple to style thanks to the pleats that add extra character to the look, and how plaid in the Winter never goes out of style. ​​

Socks / Tights

Chunky socks, knee socks, leg warmers, coloured socks and tights - there’s a plethora of ways to warm your legs that elevate your look from basic to cute. You can style them with mini/midi/maxi skirts, ballet flats, loafers, and chunky sweaters. The options are endless and it’s the perfect cosy accessory!

Mary Janes / Ballet Flats

If you’ve seen those Miu Miu and Repetto flats everywhere, you know what I’m talking about. Lily-Rose Depp and Alexa Chung show that you can dress them up or down, with edge or softness. Pair them with the endless choices of socks and tights above. 

Uggs

Any TikTok user will know that Uggs are back! Perfect to stay warm, and if you’re worried about getting them wet, you can always get waterproof spray or the attachable waterproof sole. 

Riding Boots

Another piece that is best found vintage, riding boots are this Winter’s fashion shoe staple. Look for ones with big buckles and worn leather to really lean into the cosy and homely look. 

Loafers

Channel your inner Margot Tenenbaum and Olsen twin as you stay warm this Winter. Pair your classic loafers with a vintage fur coat, any beat up leather bag and you’re ready to go!

Skinny Scarves

When they say fashion is cyclical, it’s true - any Y2K lover will know that skinny scarves are back. The best part about this trend is that it’s the perfect gift for Christmas and so easy to DIY.

Balaclava

The balaclava has been trending since last year. Why wouldn’t it, considering it’s Bella Hadid approved, easy to DIY, and provides ample warmth for your ears and neck?

Ribbons

Whether it’s your jewellery, on your hair or knit sweater, thank Sandy Liang because ribbons are back and big as ever this season. Channel the ballet-core aesthetic and get into true Christmas gifting spirit with this versatile and cheap accessory. 

Lace

So very 90s, lace can’t go wrong for your upcoming party looks; and it’s a perfect layering option that adds texture and sexiness to your bundled-up Winter outfit. Wear a skirt or dress under a sweater like the pictures below, or mix it up with lace tights or socks. You can style it with ribbons for a soft look, or a leather jacket for juxtaposition. By Spring, lace, skin and Nensi Dojaka will reign supreme.
