The cozy season is upon us, and let’s just say we are excited. Transitioning into new seasons can be quite a struggle in terms of outfit picks. The transition to fall and wintertime is nothing short of magical. As the air turns crisp, every gentle breeze feels like a gentle peck on the cheeks. Everything just seems better. Also, you get to wear sweaters – the literal best thing to wear ever.

With every passing season come trends. While some trends fizzle over the course of a few months, some stick around for years to come. It is all about making an impact, after all. If you appreciate daring style statements, you will be happy to learn that this year’s fashion picks are fearless and bold. The best part about them: they are super versatile. From simple cozy fits to stunning runway ready fits, there is something for everyone.

Here is a comprehensive guide to the top 8 winter fashion trends of the year.

1. Oversized Knitwear

Knitwear is wintertime must. What is the wintertime without cozy and warm knits, after all? A hot new trend for the year is oversized knitwear. From big sweaters and cardigans to flowing dresses and scarves, knitwear is all the rage right now. Many people think big and oversized clothing gives off a sloppy look, but it all comes down to how you style it at the end of the day. Be sure to style your oversized pieces with something form-fitting to balance your outfit. For that perfect fall-winter aesthetic, try to channel your inner Christmas movie heroine vibe: comfy and relaxed yet chic and elegant.

• Bold and Beautiful

You are mistaken if you think the fall and wintertime aesthetic is limited to basic cuts and earthy hues. As much as we all love our staple neutral tones and safe style picks, there is no better time to go all out than the holidays. Think of every item that has made you think, “can I really wear something like that?” and try it out. From sequined dresses to fringed leather jackets, whatever trend has made you question yourself is one that is worth trying out. We dare you! It is the holidays. Everything is allowed, so why not go all out?

• Solo Color Saturation

Colors are in this winter season. Think bright and beautiful tones like magenta, red, green, blue, whatever your heart desires really. If you come to think of it, colors have always been in. The only exception is that earlier, the color trend was more focused on color blocking. Now, the color trend is more about solo color-saturated outfits. If you are thinking, what is so intuitive or attractive about that? Just a solid block of color. Well, that is high fashion. It is bold; it is a statement; it is stunning – all the things an outfit should be. Try it out for yourself. Find a favorite color and curate a bold monotone outfit out of it. Trust us; you will not regret it.

• Green like Money

Of all the colors making waves in fashion this year, green is pretty high up there in terms of popularity. Green is a serene color that just breathes life into a plain canvas. There is something so incredibly refreshing and rejuvenating about it that we cannot help but fall more and more in love with it. The best part about green is the diverse shade range it comes in. Moreover, it is supremely versatile. Be it a green jacket, a green dress, a green bag, or a pair of green statement earrings, turn heads wherever you go and make everyone go green with envy (pun intended).

• Corporate Casual

There is a new trend in town, and it is all about incorporating themes of formal wear with those of casual wear, and we are here for it. Formal wear exudes a very prim and proper vibe. Combine that with the relaxed look and feel of casual wear, and you have something that falls somewhere right in the middle, i.e., the perfect hybrid. You can sport casual corporate outfits anywhere, honestly. Our favorite corporate casual trend has to be the utilization of a dress shirt. Style it over a skirt and complete the look with a jacket or blazer on top. Wear it under a dress and complete the look with a blazer or cardigan on top. Aside from the humble dress shirt, you can use tailored dress pants for the purpose. Style them with a tee and a leather jacket with a hoodie for an easy, relaxed, and made-up look. You can also pair your dress pants with something outgoing like a sequined tube top and complete the look with a top blazer. Corporate casual fashion is perhaps the best way to feel like you just walked off the runway.

• Logo Crazy

Remember the days when Juicy Couture was a thing, and anything and everything in sight was plastered with the logo? Logos did die for a while, but they are back and bigger and better. This season, you will find everything plastered with brand labels and emblems. From accessories to clothes, everything is a fashion statement. So, if you love logos, now is the time to go all out.

• Poofy Puffers

Is the winter and fall time even complete without puffer jackets? Puffer jackets may have been born out of necessity, but they have grown to become one of the most fashionable garments you can own. Puffer jackets look fantastic with pretty much anything. Since the advent of athleisure, people have become more and more accustomed to and perhaps even fond of puffer jackets. Wear them with jeans and tees, dresses, or sweats, whatever fits your vibe the best. Opt for a long puffer coat, a classic puffer jacket, or a fun cropped number; regardless of your pick, they never fail to impress a crowd.

• Floral Outerwear

Florals are timeless. From dresses to shirts to accessories, florals have denominated the fashion scene for decades now, and they do not plan on going anywhere. Floral designs flatter one and flatter all. While some may shy away from them, others embrace them. We fall in the latter category, and if you are the same, then this trend is right up your alley. Floral outerwear is a hot new trend of the year. It is fun, it is refreshing, and it screams fashion unlike any other. A true fashion statement, floral outerwear like blazers, coats, and jackets require minimal effort in terms of styling. Just style them over a monotone outfit, and you are good to go. Yes, it is that easy. If you like florals, this is all you need in your life.

• Parting thoughts

Fall and winter fashion is really hard to mess up. There is so much variety to work with. If you wish to dress to impress, now is the time to do so. Try your luck with these current trends and make a style statement unlike any other.
