It may sound strange, but did you know all 50 U.S. states experience snow each winter? Even Florida, in the upper panhandle, and Hawaii, at the summit of the state’s largest volcanoes, get anywhere from a dusting to several inches or more of snow every year. But whether you live in a region that gets snow, odds are you still need some winter clothes for at least a few weeks out of the year to ward off the chill. Now, if layering on boring coats and thermals isn’t your style, keep reading. We’re bringing you a few winter trends to try that are sure to make waves in 2020.
1. Rugged Outdoorsman is Back in Style
Sleek coats in dark colors scream polished and timeless. But there’s another classic style that’s making a comeback this winter. From plaid shirts to canvas or canvas-lookalike trench jackets, the rugged outdoorsman look is back in style.
One big benefit of this style is that it doesn’t just look good; it’s also practical. By blending warm layers with functionality, you get clothes that are just as great for a day out shopping as they are on a hiking trail.
2. Down Jackets Add Warmth Without the Bulk
If you’re looking for a way to add warmth to your wardrobe without having to pile on heavy layers, look no further. Down jackets have been having a moment for several years now. In fact, they have even appeared on fashion runways, and crazy renditions are regularly spotted on celebrities. Whether in the form of candy-colored jackets or oversized, almost comically-puffy coats, down jackets are one winter coat trend that is easy to adapt to fit your needs and personal style.
The versatility of this trend means it’s easy for anyone to master. If you live in a region that regularly experiences sub-zero temperatures this time of year, a down coat with a thick fill, as well as a longer length, will keep you warm and toasty. Those in warmer regions, or anyone looking for a lighter layer, can opt for thinner down jackets.
Unfortunately, one downside of the rising popularity of down jackets is that just about every retailer now offers their own version or at least a piece that looks like a down jacket. Before you buy any down jacket, though, make sure what you’re buying is real down jacket material or a high-quality alternative. After all, the last thing you want is to invest in a coat that won’t keep you warm.
3. Bold and Bright or Cool and Classic are En Vogue
When it comes to winter wear colors, this year’s trends fall under two very different categories: cool and classic or bold and bright. If you’re someone who prefers a timeless look, opt for darker hues. This is especially true for your outerwear; bonus points if your coat or jacket features a long silhouette with a defined waist.
Prefer a trendier look? Go for bright colors and bold styles. Oversized coats and jackets with a straight shape in the brightest of hues, like red, orange, yellow, pink and turquoise, will instantly warm up your winter wardrobe and make you pop, whether you’re hitting the slopes or the mall.
