As the cold weather moves in, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about refreshing your wardrobe. You need items in your wardrobe that are fashionable but also functional in keeping you warm. Finding those items can be a struggle, so we’ve put together some must-have fashion items for cold weather dressing.
Warm & Stylish Outerwear
The most important part of your outfit when dressing for the cold weather is without a doubt your outwear. Every woman needs a warm and stylish coat within her winter wardrobe. For added warmth adding too much bulk to your look, choose those made from wool or other insulating materials. A classic wool coat in a neutral tone is a versatile choice that can be dressed up or down. Or if you’re going for a more casual look then opt for a puffer jacket or parka, which are both practical and on-trend.
Cosy Knits
A cosy knit is a winter wardrobe staple and a must-have for layering over long-sleeved tops or dresses. Neutral colours like black, grey or cream are a safe bet, or add a pop of colour with a bright red or green knit like those on the Dancing Leopard website. If you want something a little different, a turtleneck is a great choice of knit for keeping warm and fashionable. Choose one made from high quality fabrics like cashmere or wool for added warmth and durability.

Stylish Boots
No wardrobe is complete without a killer pair of winter boots. Not only do they keep your feet warm but they also provide a stylish finish to your outfit. Knee high boots offer a versatile choice that can be worn with dresses, skirts or jeans. Choose a pair made from real leather or suede for longevity. Whilst they can be more expensive, they’ll last a lot longer. Alternatively, if knee high boots are not your style opt for a pair of ankle boots. They can be worn with almost anything from jeans to dresses, and they’re great for added height and comfort.
Scarves & Gloves
Although a small part of your outfit, scarves and gloves are not only stylish but essential for keeping warm in the cold weather. Opt for scarves made from wool or cashmere for added warmth. Neutral colours can be paired with most outfits, but a pop of colour can add some brightness to those dull days. Gloves made from wool or leather will help to keep your hands warm whilst also providing a sophisticated look to your outfit.
Layering Pieces
One thing that can’t be forgotten in the cold weather is layering. It’s the key to staying warm but it can also be stylish. Make sure you’ve got plenty of long sleeved tops or thin sweaters in your wardrobe that can be worn underneath your outerwear. A thermal top or base layer is a great way to keep warm without adding too much bulk to your outfit.
Accessories
Finally, no look is complete without accessories, and they can add a stylish touch to your cold weather outfits. A beanie can provide a great way to keep your head warm whilst still maintaining a chic look. Those made from wool or other insulating materials will provide the most warmth. A belt can also add shape and definition to your outerwear, making it a more flattering and stylish choice.
