1. Choosing the right fabrics
Selecting the right fabrics and textures is essential when putting together a winter streetwear outfit to ensure you stay both trendy and warm.
A. Leather or faux leather
For a bold style, investing in a leather or faux leather piece is a must. It is a heavier material that will keep you warm while maintaining a top-tier look.
For a streetwear outfit, try faux leather cargo pants with a loose fit, paired with a fitted top, chunky boots or sneakers, and a cropped puffer jacket. You can also pair the pants with heeled ankle boots and a crop top for a more festive evening look.
B. Faux fur or faux shearling
Opt for plush fabrics like fleece with oversized vests, leather jackets with faux fur lining like aviator jackets, and even accessories like gloves, hats, or even faux fur handbags.
Not only is wearing these soft and comfortable materials a great way to stay warm, but it is also a very stylish winter trend this year.
C. Corduroy
You might not immediately associate corduroy with urban style, but think again! This fairly heavy material, once reserved for bohemian and vintage looks, has made its way into the streetwear world and is an original choice for winter.
For example, you can pair loose corduroy cargo pants with oversized pockets for a casual look that goes perfectly with Nike sneakers like the Dunks, or opt for a cropped corduroy puffer jacket for a street-chic look.
2. Winter wardrobe essentials
A. Oversized puffer jackets
For winter, a puffer jacket is truly the essential item to have in your wardrobe. It is one of the warmest options for outerwear, and there is a puffer jacket for every style or outfit.
The best styles to adopt are either a cropped puffer jacket that hits at the hips to pair with jeans and chunky boots, or a long puffer jacket that reaches your ankles with sweatpants and sneakers.
B. Loose-fit pants
Baggy jeans and loose-fit pants are the ultimate staples for streetwear outfits, especially in winter; they pair particularly well with sneakers, which are a streetwear essential. The advantage of these pants, besides being super comfortable, is their width, which allows you to slip leggings or tights underneath to always stay warm!
The other style of pants that rivals baggy jeans in streetwear is, of course, the cargo pants.
They feature a similar loose fit but with extra pockets on the sides. These casual pants are ideal for everyday wear.
For an ultra-trendy winter streetwear look, here is our recommendation: Pair black cargo pants with a grey long-sleeve mock-neck bodysuit, an oversized khaki blazer, sneakers, and a square crossbody bag to complete the look.
C. Accessories
To create the perfect winter streetwear look, you cannot forget the winter accessories that will elevate your outfits, especially if you use flashy colors.
A knit beanie is an absolute must-have; whether you choose solid colors or graphic prints, the beanie will give you a casual style.
You can also opt for an oversized scarf, which is another winter streetwear staple, especially one with a colorful plaid print. These warm and plush accessories are a great way to add a touch of color and print to your winter outfits.
Conclusion
Styling winter streetwear outfits for women is easier than you imagine. All you need are the essentials listed above, bold accessories to spice up your looks, and a bit of imagination.
