It’s the end of the year, and we all know how busy December can get. Winter is here, the holiday season is in full swing, and between buying gifts, family gatherings, and everything else on the calendar, the last thing you need is another reason to spend money.
Especially on a whole new winter wardrobe.
But here's the thing: you can still have a great winter wardrobe without buying a single new piece of clothing.
Think about your favorite jeans, the sweaters you already own, and those everyday basics you've been wearing the same way for months. There's so much more you can do with these pieces than repeat the same outfits over and over again.
And who doesn't love the idea of dressing better without spending money?
This December, we're putting the focus back on your closet. Instead of shopping for more clothes, we're going to explore what you already have and how to get more outfits out of those pieces.
You might be surprised by just how much you can do with the everyday classics hanging in your closet.
What Clothes to Wear in Winter
Honestly, many of the same clothes you've been wearing throughout fall and the rest of the year. Just because the season changes doesn't mean your entire wardrobe needs to change with it.
And yes, that includes your favorite white jeans. They're not off-limits just because it's winter. Neither are the sweaters you've been wearing all fall or the layers you reach for year after year.
The difference is how you wear them.
Below, I'm sharing a mix of everyday classic staples and seasonal styles to look for in your closet this winter.
A MIX OF NEUTRAL TOPS
Your neutral tops can range from short-sleeved to long-sleeved, sweaters to blouses, and be any of the following colors: black, white, off-white, grey, olive, camel/tan, navy, or brown.
WINTER COLOR
What are your favorite winter colors to wear? Fun fact: you don’t have to select one or two; the more, the merrier! If there are winter colors you have but have been struggling to wear, add those to the mix.
WINTER PATTERNS
From plaid, argyle, houndstooth to fair isle — there doesn’t have to be any rhyme or reason to choose the patterns you want to wear this season.
WINTER DRESSES
There is never a time not to wear dresses, and colder weather isn’t a reason to wear only tops and bottoms—that can get old and redundant very quickly. From textures like corduroy and velvet to cozy sweater fabrics, choose your favorite winter dresses.
PANTS
Blue, black, and white jeans are the obvious winter styles to consider, but then you also have textured wide-leg styles like corduroy pants. Whether you go light or dark, this is another casual, everyday option that can take you from day to night, from running errands to a night out.
And before you start making a shopping list, you don't need every style I'm sharing, and you definitely don't need the exact pieces pictured.
Have a similar sweater in a different color? Use it. Prefer straight-leg jeans instead of wide-leg jeans? Those work, too. Maybe you have a cardigan that can take the place of a jacket.
That's the whole point. I want you to see what's possible with your wardrobe, not feel like you need to go shopping every time you see an outfit you like.
You probably have more of these styles than you think. Now, what can you actually do with them?
