With winter rolling around the corner, every year has new trendy outwear. This year, sleek black coats, hunter boots, and vests are very in style. Say goodbye to Uggs and poofy coats!

The long black coat is the biggest sleek trend for winter styles. The fitting line flatters all body types and the length makes legs look longer. Also, black is a flattering color all the time. It goes with anything, and is hard to see when it gets dirty (A huge plus). The black coat has recently come up in the fashion world. Many girls choose to wear this type of coat with boots, offering a lengthy and slimming look. There are multiple brands that sell this type of coat including Patagonia, ASOS, and The North Face. You can find these coats on Amazon or other similar online retail stores, or in store at outlets.

Vests are an always stylish option. They have been in style for years, and can be paired with many outfits. Vests come in different styles, some can be poofy or slimmed down. Alexia Lara, senior states, “Vests are the best winter clothes, because you can wear them with anything..it doesn’t matter if it’s dressy or not”. They can be used to provide some extra warmth, or dress up an outfit. Old Navy and Target have a good selection of vests, as do Dicks and Active Endeavors, if you are looking for a more active fit.

Another popular trend is Hunter boots. While Ugg boots are “so last season”, Hunter boots are versatile, waterproof, and go with virtually anything. Lily Williams, junior states, “I got my Hunter boots six months ago, they’re bright red, and I feel like I can wear them with anything. I definitely got my money’s worth out of them.” Hunter boots come in many different styles and can be purchased online, or at a department store such as Von Maur.

A popular option for both boys and girls is a peacoat. Peacoats have buttons on the front, and have a collared neck. They are mostly worn with nicer outfits. Senior, Maaz Ahmed says, “I think peacoats are very stylish and warm. I wear it with nicer-dressed events. It’s nice because it can go with casual, or nicer outfits.” Peacoats come in different styles for women and men, and can be found in department stores, or online sites such as Ebay.  

Whether you love or hate the winter, you can be sure that there are many trendy options to stay warm this chilly season.
