19 Styling Hacks For a Non-Boring Winter Outfit

Try pulling your long sleeves out from underneath your jacket to add extra dimension or a pop of color to winter outerwear.

Mix and match your go-to cozy prints and fabrics (think flannels and argyle) instead of opting for one big cocoon coat.

But rather than stuffing it into your bag or wearing it around your waist, tie it around your shoulders for an eye-catching spin on a simple winter jacket.

Ivory, ice blue, and gray all make up a cozy winter color scheme, so if you're not sure what to wear, start with this seasonal palette.

You can bring virtually all of your late summer/fall staples into the winter by layering a thick turtleneck underneath. Yep, even if they're sleeveless.

A puffer coat, logo bag, and lug-sole boots are a great way to play up your leggings in the winter.

Even though denim sometimes feels like the last thing we want to wear during the cold winter months, if you complete your favorite slouchy pair with a pullover and slippers, we promise you'll be comfy and feel even more prepared to take on the day.

Imagine this look with just the ribbed zip-up and leather trousers. Sometimes a wool beret or beanie in a matching colorway makes your outfit seem so much more well thought out.

When you're wearing all-black, something as simple as tucking your pants into your boots will draw more attention to the shape of your footwear and make your look that much more striking.

Your outfit will look totally elevated with the addition of colored corduroy. You can maintain that streamlined look while still staying warm in the fabric, so work it into your winter wardrobe often before it gets too warm.

If you want to draw attention to a neat detail on your jeans, like a hem stitching or side slit, try a pair of platform boots that brings your long pants to ankle height, rather than letting them drag on the ground.

Doubling up on a checkered pattern and pulling it off is no easy feat, but we know you have tons of winter clothes in the print, and it could be fun to wear two of those pieces at once. We suggest dark accents like a black tee and tough combat boots to break up the business.

Don't care to fashion an entire outfit underneath your coat? Use items like your favorite pair of tights and a tall lug sole boot to add layers of warmth and still shine the spotlight on your outerwear.

Long jeans plus a long, striking coat and chic beret mean there will be less attention on your shoes, so you can still look luxe, even when your outfit's grounded with lace-up sneakers.

Avoid a monochrome look that feels too forced by working in pieces with subtle stripes or printed interiors.

Not everyone will expect the meeting of two pretty pastels in the middle of winter, but when you're in your cozy knits, this combination feels totally appropriate.

You want to wear one of your slashed sweatshirts in winter? OK, here's what you do: add a thicker long-sleeved cropped tee underneath and ensure a tiny sliver of skin is all that's showing. Make for a sporty athleisure look with long, white ribbed socks that you pull up under your pant leg. Trust, you'll feel the warmth.

We know you still want to look chic in the winter, but sometimes that means feeling relaxed and wearing your outfit with confidence. If a lightweight, easy bag and chunky sneakers are going to help you achieve that, try them on with your polished basics and the result may surprise you.

Tuck the hemline of your plain white hoodie into the waistband of your tailored trousers and throw on a long wool coat plus sleek platforms and some jewelry.
