Top Winter Wardrobe Essentials & Fashions Of 2024

With the coldest temperatures still ahead of us, it’s time to switch out fall’s trendiest pieces with winter’s must-haves. Novelty knits and eye-catching coats will keep you cozy and warm. Meanwhile, lingerie-like dressing and cutesy motifs like bows will kick off Valentine’s Day celebrations early. Elevated essentials will continue to dominate the fashion landscape, with styles from brands like The Row, Khaite, and Toteme leading the way. “Quiet luxury is here to stay as we see a shift away from Y2K dressing to a more pared-back, minimal aesthetic across all categories. Within this trend, muted and neutral color palettes reign supreme with a focus on expert craftsmanship and elevated silhouettes,” says Heather Gramston, senior head of men’s and women’s buying at Browns. In addition to neutrals, colors like deep reds and rich browns will be ubiquitous. And, after several seasons of sky-high platforms, shoe trends are taking a turn for the practical. Ahead, these and more winter essentials to stock up on this cold-weather season, according to fashion insiders.
