This Winter Women Want Light and Comfortable Options
If there’s one word that describes what women want from their outfits this winter, it’s “comfortable.” From dress pants to socks, if they are not made from a uber-soft, comfortable fabric or don’t have some stretch, women don’t want them near their closets.
If you are a fashion-forward woman, like the best of us, you probably want something that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for style. Thankfully, there are hundreds of options that are cozy and en-vogue enough to rock all winter long.
If you are on the hunt for light and comfortable yet cozy options to add to your winter wardrobe, then you have come to the right place. We have done the legwork and put together a list of the best winter clothing options for the ultimate in comfort and coziness. Whether you are looking for something to wear to work, run errands, or get ready for a night out with your girls, we have got you covered.
Lounge Sweatpants
Whether you want to pop out for an errand run, laze around the house, or cozy up on the couch in style, lounge sweatpants are a must-have in your closet this winter. Soft, cuddly, and breezy, these loungewear pieces are so comfortable you will never want to get out of them.
Tie-dye loungewear stole much of the limelight last year, but we declare this winter the season of neutral colors, pastel tones, and waffle knits. You can get them in charming gray, beige, camel, navy blue, or classic black – whatever tickles your fashion sense.
This year, we love that lounge sweatpants are available in a wide range of fun patterns and prints. There’s definitely something to match everyone’s style and personality, from fascinating polka dots to plaids and camo prints.
The real magic happens when it comes to putting together fabulous outfits around lounge sweatpants. You can marry gray lounge sweatpants with a camel suede biker jacket for an absolutely modern-looking casual outfit. Add a pair of brown leather ankle boots to make it feel a bit dressy.
You can also rock navy blue lounge sweatpants with a gray puffer coat for a chic outfit that is super-easy to pull off. White uggs are an excellent pick to add a playful element to this get-up. When the chilly days strike, you will be thankful for this light, comfortable, and stylish outfit.
Want to stay on trend without sacrificing comfort or practicality? You love pairing gray lounge sweatpants with a gray shearling coat. Wear gray suede ankle boots if you feel like adding a sophisticated flair to your ensemble. This winter-friendly look is as comfortable as it is chic.
Winter Leggings
Everyone’s craving light and cozy this winter, and there’s one option that offers the best of both worlds, leggings. A good pair of warm leggings is one staple that has proven indispensable this winter, according to Sanctuary, a brand based in LA.
A well-made legging is versatile, comfortable, and light enough to wear all year long. Besides, leggings don’t need ironing and are a breeze to move around in, making you feel stylish, comfy, and somewhat fancy. And good leggings can help you take any casual outfit from drab to fab in no time.
With the correct change of top, you can wear leggings pretty much anywhere and for any occasion. Whether you’re carrying out your daytime activities, practicing your latest yoga pose, or venturing out for a dinner date, a good legging is that versatile!
Leggings for winter come in all manner of fabrics, ranging from the ever-warm cashmere, merino wool, and fleece-lined to trusty synthetic fibers like rayon. And, best of all, you can wear the leggings solo or layer them under a dress or dress pants.
Styling winter leggings are where things get fun and exciting. For a day of lazing around at home, you can wear your trusty pair of leggings with a tee or sweatshirt, plus some warm, fuzzy slippers.
Not sure what to wear for a drink with friends? Slip your leggings on with a favorite pair of over-the-knee boots and a light sweater—and you’re good to go!
Consider pairing them with slip-on sneakers, a long cardigan, and a crew-neck tee for an easy-to-wear daytime look.
Dressing up for work, school, or other activities when it’s chilly outside can be a huge bummer. Luckily, there are leggings specially designed for the cold weather. Some boast compression and fleece-lining, while others have pockets to tuck away your essentials.
Otherwise put, these legging styles are built to lock in the warmth, all while being fashionable and practical.
Oversized Trousers
Say goodbye to jeans that sometimes feel constricting and stiff, and say hello to baggy trousers. Believe it or not, these oversized pants can be a great alternative to both dress pants and denim.
Over the last few months, these versatile trousers have become something of a celeb staple, too. Just recently, Dakota Johnson, a sworn fan of jeans, was spotted wearing a pair of slightly oversized trousers with a striped metallic design while promoting her upcoming Netflix film The Lost Daughter. She rocked the loose-fitting pants with a slick plaid blazer, a white t-shirt, and a pair of open-toe heels.
You will also look dashing in these wear-anywhere pants, as they can be teamed up with pretty much any top, whether you are a cardigan and tee type of fashionista or prefer something with more flair.
For example, you can marry a light brown suede blazer with a black pair of oversized trousers to create a classy and sleek get-up. The entire ensemble will come together if you finish this outfit with a pair of black leather oxfords. Or, you can opt for navy trousers and a beige coat to pull together a casual-meet-polish outfit.
Light Winter Coats
A light winter coat slaps, especially when worn with warm leggings and ankle boots. It is the winter accessories, however, that will really bring your coat-based outfit together.
For example, you can wear a light coat with a turtleneck, black denim, and a ribbed beanie. Show off your styling savvy with a pair of slouchy boots to draw attention and keep your feet warm & toasty. Wear leggings under the jeans for added warmth.
That’s not it. The choice of light and comfortable winter clothing for women is endless. You can also try jumpsuits, turtleneck dresses, sweater jackets, baggy denim, and even knit matching sets for less traditional winter styles.
