Whether you love it or hate it: winter is definitely on its way.
While us lucky South Australians might not get it as bad as some of the other states when it comes to the colder months (looking at you, Tasmania), we definitely still feel the change.
Prepping your winter wardrobe needn’t be stressful. There are plenty of ways to transition those summer dresses you’re not ready to pack away just yet with a few weather-ready additions.
Sportsgirl more than have you covered with trending essentials that will see you staying warm – and stylish – throughout the season.
5 Winter Wardrobe Additions to Invest in this Season
If you’re not quite ready to pack away your lived-in summer favourites, don’t worry – you don’t have to.
With a few trend-forward ideas and additions from Sportsgirl, you can create your perfect winter wardrobe with a blend of old and new. Here’s how to do it:
1. Add a cosy knit.
Whether it’s a chunky jumper, snuggly cardigan, or sleeveless vest, adding knitwear over dresses, skirts, or jeans instantly amps the winter-ready vibes.
Opt for pieces in vibrant colours or a bold geometric print to stay on trend and hold onto those summer vibes for as long as you can.
2. Get your footwear right.
Chunky soled loafers and ankle boots aren’t leaving us yet – and just as well! They’re the perfect staple winter footwear.
Add some extra style (and warmth) with the ultimate winter accessories – socks. Fashion met functionality in the best way when Milan fashion week saw socks trending on the runway and in street style.
Opt for neutral colours for a contemporary look, or be adventurous with patterned pairs to make a real statement.
3. Keep it classic.
As we enter the transitional days between summer, autumn, and full-blown winter, there is one ultimate wardrobe staple that you can’t go wrong with: a classic trench coat.
A trench coat levels up the chic of almost any outfit. With the slightly oversized look popping up everywhere this coming season already, it’s also perfect for layering over those thick-knitted jumpers, hooded sweaters, and chunky scarves.
Trench coats never go out of style, so you’ll never regret investing in this classic look.
4. Layer it up.
Now is the perfect time to consider what pieces in your wardrobe will work well for layering – and what pieces you might need to add to pull everything together.
Whether adding a long-sleeved tee shirt under a slip dress or layering a knitted vest over a favourite linen shirt – play around with fabrics, shapes and styles to find your ultimate layered comfort.
The best way to get a handle on layering is to ensure you have all the right basics ready to add other layers to. Think classic cut t-shirts in staple colours (black, white and navy) as well as long-sleeved versions that fit you well.
5. Add a pop of colour.
Winter doesn’t have to mean dark and drab colours. Adding a vibrant pop of colour is not only in this season – it’ll also help boost your mood!
Utilise fun accessories to help with this one. Nothing screams style like a monochrome outfit with a stand-out accessory – like this gorgeous Zoey check scarf. You’ll be getting looks for all the right reasons.
