We’ll be the first to admit that style takes a back seat to comfort when it’s cold out. But the best winter fashion trends of 2023 can inspire us to break out of the doldrums of frigid weather, and what better way to do that than with a shiny new outfit?

Building on the fall trends that we’re still loving, this season’s best looks marry comfort with visual impact. Colorwise, rich red is still very of-the-moment, but we’re also seeing all-gray outfits everywhere we look. (Don’t worry, we’ll let you choose whether you want to make a statement or prefer to blend in.) Jeans are getting darker and darker by the minute. Metallics are also popping up, just in time for you to throw together an Insta-ready ’fit for your office holiday party.

Obviously, since it’s getting chilly, the girls are wearing longer jackets, but this winter’s picks are bolder than the plain black winter coat you’ve had hanging in your closet for years. And while many of this season’s picks gesture toward officewear and uniforms (think pinstriped suits, roomy trousers, pleated skirts), great styling makes them feel like anything but work.
