There are a few classic winter pieces that I consider must-haves when shopping for the cold-weather season. Yes, these pieces can turn into wardrobe essentials. When shopping for the best winter staples, there are three key things to look for: 1) Something to keep you warm. 2) A piece that offers ample versatility. 3) An item that can withstand the test of time. Now, that might sound like a lot for one piece of clothing, but there are several winter staples that deliver on all three needs.
I consider the black puffer coat, a black turtle neck and a faux fur coat essential for every winter in New York City, as these pieces not only fit the cold-weather must-have criteria, but they are also incredibly stylish pieces. A classic black puffer coat, whether long or short, is an all-around hero for its ability to work with every outfit. I recommend a down fill to keep you extra warm. Yes, it is on the casual side, but if you buy the right one, you will only need the puffer coat and a faux fur coat all season. I’m obsessed with this one from Express. And as far as puffer coats go, a Moncler one is the dream, but not in everyone’s budget. I love my “Amazon coat” just as much, AND it has lasted me through my entire pregnancy.
With only a puffer coat and a faux fur coat, you’re pretty much always ready whether you wear fancy dresses, casual sweatsuits or something in between. Most importantly, a winter staple will never go out of style, so you can grab it from your closet year after year. The same goes for a knee-high boot, black leggings and cozy knits in a basic color. In addition to being winter classics, these pieces will anchor almost every daytime or nighttime outfit during the winter months. What more do you need from your wardrobe?
