Cold Weather Essentials
to Style Your
Fall and
Winter Activities
Falling leaves and cool breezes can only mean one thing… It's time to make the most of your cold weather layers. That means serving looks from work to dinner, and after. We’ve put together a list of places you need to be this season to help you navigate your fall and winter wardrobe while staying trendy, cool, and collected—even when you’re indoors.
Weekend Layering
Weekends at the Farmer's Market:
Practical Rustic Chic Styling
It’s finally time to bring out your cold weather essentials. This means cozy, comfortable, and practical clothes you can layer to face cool breezes while you shop at the farmer’s market. Besides, a good outfit will make your shopping all the more worthy.
Practical styling means throwing on a denim jacket with pockets so you won’t have to worry about reaching for your phone to answer calls about what’s for dinner while you’re carrying your fruits and vegetables around. Even when it’s cold out, fall outerwear doesn’t have to be predictable. Oversized jackets can give you a relaxed look and feel with all the comfort you need to shop around with your family and friends.
What goes under your fall outerwear? Layers. Think soft cardigans, turtlenecks, sweaters, sweatshirts, and hoodies. Anything to create a layered look that screams minimalist fall fashion. Pair your tops with casual bottoms, like bootcut jeans, or with a tweed skirt if you like to go all out for fall.
Want to blend in? Compliment the farmer’s market’s red apples and orange pumpkins with this season’s colour palette. This means dark tones like red, burgundy, olive green, and plum purple. Finish off your look with brown accents like a leather bag or a wool coat that’s versatile for any outfit.
Weekends in the City:
Coffee Shops, Museums, and Shopping
Relaxed, refined, and comfortable for wherever the day takes you. Whether you’re catching up with friends at the new matcha spot or getting lunch and visiting a museum, your fit needs versatility for any plan.
Think staples silhouettes like cute jeans, relaxed pants, cozy winter jackets, and trench coats. You’ll always need something oversized to layer knit sweaters and long sleeve tops under. For bottoms, gravitate towards feminine styles that still speak to comfort like dark wash jeans, wide leg trousers, or midi skirts paired with tights. Anything to look just as cozy as the bookstore you’ve just walked into.
Outerwear is essential for walking around on frisky days. This is the time to bring out your everyday leather jacket that never gets too much love. Or it could be time to show off that new bomber jacket or trench coat to your friends. Either way, layering is the key to dressing for strolls around the city. You’ll want to wear something that can adapt to your setting. When you’re outside and going from store to store, shackets and denim jackets can all be buttoned and zipped to the top with scarves and mittens for extra warmth. Once you’ve made it inside, unzip your wool coat to reveal a button-down shirt and tank top to stay cool.
Workwear and the City
Transitional Workwear
to Cocktail Hour
Switch out your heels for knee high boots and bring the night into your work wear wardrobe. No matter if you’re having a 5 à 7 cocktail with your friends or beers with your coworkers, walk out of work with confidence by picking the perfect day to night outfit. Style transitional essentials like blouses, camisoles, and leather jackets, so you won’t have to put in the work, after work.
With work wear and going out outfits, staple fabrics make all the difference. Anything made in sultry satins, sculpting jerseys, and tailored suiting fabrics, can take your business casual outfits to cocktail hour in seconds. This works for anything from blazer and skirt sets to the more casual tank top and trousers combo.
For after-work plans, tailoring pieces, like blazers and trousers, styled with soft knits and wool tops can bring a gentle contrast to your structured silhouettes. A cinched waist blazer or wool coat can elevate your business casual layers. For workwear winter drama, a coat with structured shoulder pads can give your outfit the touch of class it needs to go from work to dinner.
Chic On the Go:
Outfits for Your Everyday
Make your everyday wardrobe count. Whether you’re running errands after work or scheduling your to-do list around your Pilates class, an everyday outfit formula can make your day-to-day so much easier.
Our formula? A knit sweater, T-shirt, and jeans. Layer a leather jacket or a plaid blazer over that combo to keep your outfit as structured as your plans. Tailored jackets and sleek accessories are the key to staying stylish in comfort this season.
If you want your everyday to look a little more cozy, loungewear can also do the trick. A grey sweatshirt and sweatpants combo always makes the perfect pre- and post-workout fit. Throwing on a trench coat or a puffer jacket will bring an elevated touch to your casual fall fashion. Can’t decide if you want to be chic or casual? Find the right balance to your jeans and shirt by throwing a hoodie around your shoulders.
Lastly, keep your day bright by picking pieces in fresh fall and winter colours like butter yellow, baby blue, beige to contrast your basic navy blue and khaki clothing. Even though the days are getting darker, your light wash denim can still stay at the front of your closet.
Cold Weather Nights Out
Cozy for Thanksgiving Dinner
Guest or host, you’ve got to bring more than appetizers to the table. Make the most of the best fall fashion by showing up to Thanksgiving dinner in your best cozy vibe. Think classic styles in classic prints and textures like plaid skirts, tweed blazers, or corduroy pants. It’s your opportunity to take elegant fall looks to the max.
It’s only the start of the holiday season, so you’re just cozying up to the cold weather and big family dinners. Pick out knit sweaters, sweater vests, and wool sweaters to pair with your tailored trousers for effortless style. Comfortable fashion means you won’t have to stress while you’re navigating dynamics at the dinner table.
Celebrating Friendsgiving? Maybe this is the time to show off your best fall fashion. Blend cozy and chic by styling a sweater dress with tights, or go even more chic with a silk blouse and leather pants. Even if the mood is chill dinner at home, make the most of celebrations and bring out one of your party dresses.
Nights Out (And In) With the Girls
Cold weather doesn’t mean you should be stuck inside. There are infinite places to be and endless outfits to wear this fall and winter. Whether you and your friends like to spend your nights inside or outside, you’re sure to have a good time as long as you’re together.
What’s better than coordinating a dress code before Friday night dinners? Show up in sultry cold-weather fabrics like satin, velvet, and leather. Silk button-down shirts can be paired with a midi skirt and boots for a sleek body-lengthening look that matches any plan.
For flirty looks you’ll want to spend all night in, find a colour palette you’ll all glow in. This season is all about light colours like white, beige, and powder pink. For that extra sparkle, metallics like gold and silver should also be on your going out mood board. We want everything and anything to make everyone do a double take.
Plans for a girl’s nights in can also mean chic going out fashion. Pair soft fabrics with elevated silhouettes for a look you won’t mind watching movies and baking in. Stay classic and show up to your book club meeting with a knit cardigan and high-waisted skinny jeans. For wining and dining, dress to impress with a long sleeve dress and sheer tights, or pair a draped top with pleated pants.
Romantic Date Nights in the Cold
Picture sexy, draped, and plunging silhouettes that take you through the night. From dinner dates to simple meetups for cocktails, sultry shapes and silhouettes should be at the top of your list for date night styling. This means styles from shirred and wrap blouses made of satin to body-skimming knit dresses that hug your curves.
Celebrate your relationship and change up your usual weekend date night plans by finding something to do with your new winter dress. The new wine bar in the city is dying to see your new going out look.
For first dates, make plans to discover the city together and hop from bar to speakeasy. Flirt with fabrics and wear a velvet dress with a plunging neckline or wear a sculpting tank top layered under a faux fur coat and bootcut jeans. Bodycon fabrics make the perfect versatile date night outfits you can dress up or down with the boots of your choice.
To stay comfortable throughout the night, shop winter coats, like wool coats, puffer coats, and pea coats that work well with any going out look. Add layers with winter accessories, like scarves and cashmere, for extra coziness.
