Chic & Colorful 2026 Winter Trends You’ll Want To Try
We’ve said it before and’ll say it again, just because the weather outside is grim and grey doesn’t mean your outfit has to be! Yes, the temptation to mirror the cooler, muted tones of the world outside is strong, but we think the secret to lifting your sluggish winter spirits lies in wearing prints and colours that make you feel your chicest and most confident self.
Luckily, we’re ready to spill the tea on all the most sought-after fashion trends the season has to offer. So move over, safe neutrals and navy. We love you, but this winter, we’re cultivating color and outfits with a little more edge!
Chic & Colorful 2026 Winter Trends You’ll Want To Try
Add A Colorful Coat To A Neutral Outfit
If sleek black winter outfits are your passion, we get it. They’re totally timeless and look effortlessly elegant every time. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little colour to lift your look and reflect your personality! We’re obsessed with this chic black dress and boots outfit made all the more unforgettable with a block colour coat. The red is flawless, but you could add any colour coat to this look and it would still look amazing.
Coordinate Your Print and Colors
It’s not that it ever really left, but the leopard print will be well and truly back this fall/winter season.
Coordinate your printed jacket with burgundy pieces—a sweater, pants, or dress—to create the chicest winter outfit: Chic and trendy.
We’re obsessed with leopard print and burgundy knitwear right now!
Add Colorful Accents
If you want to stick with neutral but add a little color, we’ve got you covered! Keep the base of your outfit calm and collected with beige, grey, or even black tones. Then, add a couple of brighter pieces to mix things up. It’s one of the chicest ways to rock colourful items in winter and always looks perfectly put together. Oh, and amber ankle socks with a cerulean blue sweater? We’re stealing this idea!
Be Bold In Velvet
Velvet Blazer
You heard it here first: Velvet will be a winter staple in 2025. Opt for a head-to-toe velvet ensemble to fully embrace the trend and turn heads along the way. Or, simply add a few velvet accents using your bag, shoes, or outerwear. Our advice? Choose velvet clothing in muted colour tones. These pieces look super expensive and sleek, whereas vibrant velvet tones can sometimes look a little costume-y.
Stay Chic In Faux Fur
Back to keep us warm and elevate any outfit we wear it with, it’s faux fur – with a twist! Gone are the days of fur-trimmed parker hoods and brightly coloured midi coats. In 2025, faux fur will have a grown-up glow-up and will make all of your outfits look instantly chicer. Think cropped jackets, fur-trimmed gloves, and strokably-soft scarves. These pieces will add a welcome touch of texture and dimension to your winter wardrobe.
Floor Length Leather
Floor-length coats for winter 2025? Yes please. The runways have spoken, and dramatic outerwear that almost grazes the floor is a must for the impending cold. We’ll happily step out in a long wool coat or trench, but if we’re looking to make an impression, we’ll reach for floor-length (faux) leather instead – preferably in this irresistible shade of Merlot!
If you can’t wait to replicate every single one of these chic winter looks, we’re right there with you! Our advice? Opt for quality over quantity when shopping for new items for your winter wardrobe. Ask yourself which of these trends you’ll be happy to repeat for more winters to come, and part with your cash for those pieces you really can’t live without. No matter which of the looks on our list you decide to try, you’re about to have your most stylish winter season on record!
