There's nothing like celebrating the magic of the holiday season. But then, there's the rest of winter to sit through until the sun reappears in the spring. Whether your idea of a good time is getting cozy on the couch with snacks and a new season of your favorite show or hitting the slopes to earn an aprés ski reprieve, there's no wrong way to spend the season. But, there are ways to keep it a lot more vibrant.
This year, we're preparing to stave off the winter blues by embracing four timely trends guaranteed to elevate any outfit. We're talking animal print accessories, cashmere in an array of unexpected colors, comfy corduroy, and sparkly sequin skirts. Add just one to your go-to outfit, and compliments will quickly come your way. Or, if you're already a maximalist dresser, then consider this an opportunity to embrace the "more the merrier" philosophy.
Keep scrolling for outfit inspiration using these fun winter trends. They're playful, occasionally practical, and an easy way to brighten any room this season.
