Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Today’s post is all about winter closet staples. If you are starting off the year by doing a little organizing at home, a good place to start is your clothes closet! I’ve rounded up some essential items for winter you might find are missing in your closet or need replacing.
Winter Coat(s) – I don’t buy a winter coat often. In fact, I just bought this gorgeous Red Coat. My last winter coat purchase was probably ten years ago!! So, I will invest a little more in a quality coat that will hold up for many winter seasons. I like to have two different coat styles in my closet – a Parka or Puffer coat for rain/snow and a dressier coat in a classic style. If I could only buy one, I would purchase a wool coat in a classic style which can be dressed up or down.
I saw this Coat shopping recently. It was beautiful in person – I wish now I had tried it on!
Sweater/Cardigan – You all know that I love Cardigans. If you need another one, now is the time to buy. There are lots of sale as stores will be closing out their winter fashions soon. I also like having a couple of go to sweaters that I can pair with jeans or dress pants. This Cute Sweater comes in a pretty red which is great for Valentine’s Day.
Poncho And/Or Vest – These are great items when the weather is milder, and you don’t want to fuss with a heavy coat. I especially like wearing these items for long car trips. They are also great for errands when you are running in and out of stores.
Tall Boots – A great winter closet staple is a Classic Riding Boot. While over the knee boots are popular, a boot that comes just below the knee has fashion longevity. I like to have several if there is room in the budget in a couple of colors.
Snow Boots – If you live in a snowy climate, these are a definite must have. We do have some snowy winters where I live but haven’t had any snow this year so far. Yet, I have worn these Snow Boots countless times already – just love them! I like to wear them when it is cold and/or rainy. These UGG Boots are also waterproof.
Scarves – If I am going to add an accessory to keep me warm on a really cold day, I will reach for a scarf. I only add gloves and a hat if I’m going to be spending a great deal of time outside. At this time of year, I try to stay indoors at all costs! This Cashmere Scarf is on sale at a great deal!
Lounge Wear – Okay, this is not usually found on a winter closet staples list. Yet, I want to stay inside more when it is cold outside! So, I like to have cozy and comfortable clothes for those wintry days at home. I wear a Barefoot Dreams Sweater out of the house many days, but it is definitely a go to when staying inside. I recently got this Velour Hoodie and love it. I’m tempted to order the Velour Joggers too.
Cozy Slippers – If you are lounging at home, you also need some fun footwear to keep the toes warm. Aren’t these Slippers cute in the leopard print?!
