As temperatures continue to drop and trees shed their autumn coats, winter slowly saunters onto the scene. How exciting this time can be in the fashion industry!
The winter season is an opportunity to blend warmth with high fashion to create stylish looks that still provide enough comfort. Fashion enthusiasts take this delicate balance seriously. In 2024, a handful of winter fashion trends are making their presence known in the fashion world.
In this article, we’ll showcase these must-follow winter fashion trends and provide practical styling tips and outfit ideas to help you look your best in the new season.
Must-Try Winter Fashion Trends
What fashion trends are popular in winter 2024? We’re going to cover all the bases to ensure you are well-prepared. From outwear to accessories, we’ll spill the tea on what’s trending and how you can mesh it with your personal style.
Bold Coats: Make a Statement This Winter
Outerwear is a must in winter, especially on particularly cold days. This year, the popularity of statement coats has risen dramatically. From oversized silhouettes to bold colors to dramatic lengths, statement coats are everywhere.
Statement coats are fantastic as the focal point of any winter outfit. The great thing about outerwear in winter fashion is that it is extremely practical yet adds style to your outfit. For this winter fashion trend, we recommend pairing bold coats with neutral-colored layers to let the coat take center stage.
Faux leather is another bold coat option for those daring enough. Layer a bright-colored faux leather coat over a traditional white and black outfit to pump up the flair. Barn jackets are also hitting the fashion scene this winter.
Check out these bold coat options from Porterist’s winter collection:
- Faux Leather Trench Coat (Red)
- Multicolor Patterned Cotton Bomber Jacket
- Mira Single Button Coat (Pink)
Textured Fabrics: Luxe Layers for Warmth
The next winter fashion trend on our list is using textured fabrics to create visual interest. Explore different texture combinations to find pairings that complement each other.
This year, textured fabrics like faux fur, velvet, and shearling are all the rage. These fabrics add depth and richness to winter outfits while offering extra warmth. Layering textured fabrics can create eye-catching fashion looks we’re sure you’ll love.
You can also incorporate textured fabrics as statement pieces, such as a faux fur coat, a velvet dress, or a shearling jacket. Have fun with this trend! By experimenting with different textures in the coming months, you can create tons of unique and fashion-forward outfits.
Here are some stylish textured fabric options to consider:
- Collarless Faux Fur Coat
- Backless Maxi Length Velvet Dress (Gray)
- Brown Contrast Color Garnished Crumple Coat
Monochrome Magic: One Color, Head-to-Toe
The term monochrome quite literally means “one color.” The monochromatic style uses various shades of a single color to create a highly fashionable ensemble. Typically, in a monochromatic outfit, each piece is a different shade of the same color.
This fashion trend exudes sophistication and brings cohesiveness to a look while elongating the silhouette. Some popular winter monochromatic outfit themes include all-brown looks and earthy tones.
The best way to achieve this unique clothing style is to play with different shades and textures, all within the same color family. If you want to try something new, this winter trend is a great choice for fashionistas.
For a casual monochromatic winter outfit, take a look at these pieces:
- Rhode Elastis Waist Sweatpants (Burgundy)
- Burgundy Sleeveless Tank Top
- Burgundy Quilted Coat with Gold Zipper Detail Leather Look and Hood
Cozy and Chic: Elevated Knitwear
Knitwear has grown far beyond just the casual sweaters of years past. More knitwear options are available now than ever before, making this cozy and chic style a huge winter fashion trend.
Some popular knitwear pieces you can add to your closet to elevate your wardrobe include knit dresses, matching sets, and luxe knit accessories such as scarves, gloves, and beanies. Knitwear offers both comfort and style, making it extremely versatile for various occasions.
For instance, a knit midi dress with tights and ankle boots can be a stylish option for a workday. A knit top and skirt set paired with knee-high boots can be the perfect night-out look. Matching sets, in particular, give you a very polished and put-together appearance.
Some of our favorite winter knitwear pieces include:
- Beige Pure Cashmere Upright Collar Long Sleeve Kostir Tunic
- Knitwear Bell Bottomed Trousers (Purple)
- Turtleneck Knitwear Sweater (Tobacco)
Stay Warm in Style: The Puffer Jacket
Another winter clothing trend is the iconic puffer jacket. This trend has been ongoing for several years and is still just as strong in 2024. The functionality and growing style appeal of puffer jackets are two reasons to try this winter trend for yourself.
You can add several types of puffer jackets to your winter wardrobe, including cropped styles, floor-length options, and puffer vests. We recommend pairing a puffer jacket with a sweater, tailored trousers, and chic ankle booties to elevate a puffer jacket look.
The puffer jacket is highly versatile and works well in layered winter outfits. It insulates body heat and keeps you warm and cozy.

Bold Accessories: Finish Your Look with Flair
Statement accessories, such as oversized scarves, snake-print boots, and wide-brim hats, are popular this season. Using bold accessories to finish winter outfits gives them that extra wow factor. The best thing about blog accessories is that they allow fashionistas like yourself to add personality to layered winter outfits.
To elevate a simple outfit such as a sweater and jeans, consider layering an oversized leopard print scarf, some layered jewelry, and chunky boots. Bold accessories can be a simple and effective way to add visual interest to an otherwise basic outfit.
Here are a few of Porterist’s many bold accessories:
Shine Bright: Metallics in Winter Fashion
The holiday season isn’t the only time you can get away with being shiny. Embrace this trend all winter long by incorporating metallic elements from accessories like jewelry and purses to boots or even blazers.
Metallics are perfect for holiday parties and night outings, bringing a touch of glam to winter outfits. Sometimes, an eye-catching pop is exactly what an outfit needs. Consider a pair of metallic boots or a structured handbag to incorporate the metallic trend into your outfits.
Pairing metallic accessories with neutral outfits gives any look more drama.
These metallic pieces are showstoppers for winter:
- Gold Long Boots
- Adelie Mischa Metallic Stone Detailed Clutch
- Carolina Metallic Copper V-Neck Maxi Evening Dress
