Shine with metallics

Metallics always flit in and out of fashion, but Sydney Price, creative director of FEBE Clothing in Metairie, Louisiana, confirms they are back in a major way. “We love incorporating one or more metallic pieces as a way to playfully engage with this cutting-edge trend,” Price says. Whether rocking a sexy silver boot, handbag, or sweater, you can’t go wrong with this festive and funky trend.

Navy as a neutral

Move over black; navy has become the color of the season. Chelsea Sarver, owner of Eleanor, in Louisville, Colorado, explains this classic color is the season’s new neutral. “We are loving incorporating it into wardrobes with sweaters, bottoms, accessories, and outerwear,” she says. Investing in a few beautiful navy pieces now will pay dividends down the road, as this “trending” shade is sure to stick around season after season.

Opt for a classic riding boot

Riding boots have made a resurgence, channeling the preppy equestrian aesthetic of the 80s and 90s. Elegant, practical, and perfectly suited for cold-weather styling, Sarver recommends a classic staple like the Staud Wally Flat Boots paired with flowy dresses and skirts.

Go rouge with red

Spice up your winter style with a dash of red-hot energy. Ideal for holiday soirees or simply adding some verve to an otherwise understated look, the crimson shades instantly add a punch of personality to any ensemble. We’re partial to hero pieces like this Vanessa Bruno Midi Dress or Freda Salvador Mary Jane Flat. They are must-adds when updating your winter wardrobe.

Sashay into suede

“For years, suede was confined to just a Western style,” Sarver explains. “Recently the fabric has been incorporated back into the high-fashion world.” Looking for an easy way to rock this luxe textile? Opt for a stylish suede coat, smart sneakers, or beautiful bag, something you can easily throw on and still feel like you’re on trend.

Get wild with animal print

Whether you opt for a fabulous pant, flats with flair, or a jacket that serves up Emily in Paris vibes, Havens urges customers to consider animal print a neutral in their winter wardrobe. Hesitant to try such a bold fashion statement? Find balance by pairing animal prints with more understated pieces like a great pair of denim, a classic black dress, or a chic kitten heel.

Lean into vintage-inspired looks

Retro looks are adding charm and fashion-forward femininity to winter style. Seen in the form of shirt dresses, bubble skirts, dramatic bell sleeves, plaids, Mary Janes, buckle shoes, and heeled penny loafers, Price confirms it’s hard to go wrong when reaching for a time-tested look.
