Winter is just around the corner, and, if you’re anything like the team at SilkFred, you might be thinking about updating your winter wardrobe to be on trend with this season’s biggest style trends.
But, with temperatures dropping and the nights getting darker, it’s easy to throw on your cosiest jumper and biggest duvet-like coat and call the job done.
Here at SilkFred, we’re strong believers that you don’t need to compromise style (and warmth) to look good in the chilly season. So with that in mind, we’ve pulled together our ultimate guide on the best winter outfits.
Winter Dresses
Who says dresses are just for summer? A winter dress is our secret weapon for looking good (and warm) in the colder seasons. Our favourite is a knitted dress, with long sleeves for even extra warmth. They look great with fleecy tights and chunky boots and your favourite winter coat. The best news? You can take this look from day to night by switching out a few accessories and changing your stompy ankle boots for chic kitten heeled knee highs. And voila!
Winter Knitwear
There’s nothing we quite love more than a good knit in winter. If you’re building a capsule wardrobe this winter, we suggest investing in a classic wool jumper in a cream or black, so they’ll go with just about anything. Or, if you’re wanting something a little more festive, why not opt for a Christmassy fairisle print? Simple pair with your most trusty pair of jeans, some tan clog shoes or your favourite winter boots, and you’re ready for anything!
Everyday Winter Coat
Venturing out in the cold? You’re going to need a solid winter coat. With so many on the market, it can be difficult to know where to start. For an everyday staple, we love a longline puffer coat in black or navy. These are sure to keep you toasty and go with just about any winter outfit, too. Or, for a slightly lighter layer, a quilted coat does the trick, too.

Evening Winter Coat
Need some outerwear that’s a little on the fancy side? A faux fur coat has got your back. Not only is this one of the warmest types of coats, it looks super elegant too. Perfect for layering over a winter dress, jumpsuit, or pretty much any outfit – adding a faux fur coat is the easiest way to glam up your look.
Winter Partywear
Got some Christmas parties in the diary? Have no fear, winter partywear is one of our specialities. It’s easy to think glam and warm, you just need to pay attention to the cut and fit of your outfit. For example, when choosing a winter dress to wear, consider something that has long sleeves and is midi or maxi length, for extra warmth. In terms of colours, we love anything in a deep shade like burgundy, red, rust, forest green, mustard or navy. And for fabrics? Lean into texture with some velvet, lace, satin or even sequins, if you’re really pushing the boat out.
Accessorise with your favourite pointy court shoes (to keep the frostbite at bay!) and a matching clutch bag. If you need a coat, consider a longline trench, or you can always go for the faux fur option to take things up a notch. Uber glam!

Winter Jumpsuits
Dresses not your thing? No problem! Winter jumpsuits are easy to throw on and tick both the style and warmth boxes – win win. Choose one with long sleeves and wide leg for an ultra glamorous look. And if you’re planning to dazzle the dancefloor, why not opt for an all-over sequin jumpsuit?
Winter Loungewear
Hosting a Home Alone marathon? Or perhaps you’ve got an afternoon planned for baking Christmas cookies? Whatever your winter hobbies may be, you’re gonna need some winter loungewear to wear around the house.
If you aks us, there’s nothing better than snuggling down in a matching loungewear set. Simply pair with your fluffiest bed socks and you’ll be serving chic comfort.
