11 Winter Trends for People With Classic Style
If you consider yourself someone who gravitates toward classic fashion items, I'd guess that a good portion of trends don't make it into your wardrobe. This, I completely understand. If they aren't a seamless addition, why force it? All that to say, I've noticed a few classic winter trends that were almost cut out for this style type. Plus, the beauty of so-called classic "trends" is that they're usually timeless. Even if there's a notable boost in popularity, the trend itself rarely ever feels dated. Therefore, if you decide to invest in a few of these for your own wardrobe, you will get plenty of use.
So, if you like to dress cool and current without looking too trendy, or worse, overspending on short-lived trends, this story is for you. If you have a classic style but like to keep it feeling fresh, of the moment, and not too boring, then this story is also for you. If, like me, you fall into both of the aforementioned categories, then you're really in the right place, so buckle up. Up ahead, you'll find 11 trendy items for winter that all the cool girls are wearing right now, but that still feel timeless. Think sheer tights, knitted hoods, cashmere jumpers, knee boots and more.
These are the trending pieces that are undoubtedly cool but tend to remain eternally relevant at the same time. Keep scrolling for the pieces anyone with classic style will want to wear all winter.
Winter 'Trends' to Try If You Have Classic Taste:
1. Statement But Neutral Coats
Style Notes: Whether you opt for shearling, a cape or just a simple tailored style, a beautiful coat really is a forever piece. In regards to more classic styles, this could be a neutral-toned fur jacket or a leather coat with detailed sleeves. These options are timeless but unique and will keep you looking cool regardless of what's underneath!

2. Tailoring
Style Notes: Suits and tailored pieces definitely ebb and flow in their popularity; however, they are never truly out. So, seeing as they are very much in right now, it's a great time to bust yours out of the closet and wear them. Waisted silhouettes, like Marilyn's jacket, are extremely relevant right now, as are sleek pencil skirts.

3. Slouchy Leather Totes
Style Notes: When it's freezing outside, having the right bag is important. With a slouchy leather tote, you can easily throw everything you need inside and won't have to fumble with tiny zippers or clasps when you can barely feel your fingers. Something about a leather tote also just blends well with winter attire, and I'm appreciative of the trend that leans toward more fluid shapes. It's a nice contrast from more structured handbags.

Charles & Keith
Lyla Tubular Slouchy Tote Bag

4. Cashmere Jumpers
Style Notes: Cashmere will forever be a winter classic; however, I've seen so many of my favourite influencers wearing jumpers in this particular style with a crew neck and ribbed trim. Not only is this style trendy, but the way it's being worn is too. Aside from wearing it as usual, these jumpers are being tied around the waist, diagonally across the body and knotted around the shoulders, giving you another unique layering option.
