5 Wardobe Essentials for Winter
It’s practical to have a collection of staples in your closet for every season. In fashion, a “staple” is the foundation of your wardrobe, a timeless piece that never goes out of style. At Neutral Rebel, we’re big fans of staples because they can easily be mixed and matched with each other as well as other items in your closet. The key to a well-rounded wardrobe all year is to curate a majority of items that are modern, yet classic — not trendy — so they keep you up-to-date but won’t be donated or sold in 6 months.
The wardrobe essentials we’ve selected for winter are similar to any other season, with neutrality and functionality top of mind, just built for warmth. Keep reading to see our picks below.
- Soft Sweater
Sweaters are a key item to come out of storage once the temperatures drop. They look put-together and shield us from the cold, starting from a laid-back Sunday to a Tuesday at the office to a Friday night dinner. A chunky knit might relay a more casual vibe, while a finer cashmere is a nighttime necessity. Either way, we want to feel cozy — no scratchy sweaters here!
2. Chelsea Boots
Chelsea boots are THE shoe this season, and we understand why. They’re warm and versatile without having the discomfort of a taller heel. Ankle boots are still in style, but if you want to trek around a big city in the cold, try this comfier alternative.
3. Basic Turtlenecks
A basic turtleneck top is a starter piece to building many winter outfits. Collect many colors and layer them under dresses, sweaters, and coats — a functional and super fashion-forward look. They will keep you toasty, and all your cute dresses can be worn year-round! When the trend phases out, simply wear the items separately!
4. Sweater Dress
Going-out outfits seem a little harder to put together in the winter, don’t they? We want something more elevated than pants and a sweater, but everything else is not weather-appropriate. Sweater dresses are the perfect in-between, giving us an upscale look in a heavier fabric. Pair one with tights and boots for a more formal feel, or sneakers if you want something casual.
5. Warm Accessories
The way to make a cold, dark season a little more fun is to accessorize! And what’s better than functional accessories? A fun beanie and oversized scarf will finish off your look with personality.
