While every season has its fashion perks and downsides, I have to admit I find winter to be especially difficult to dress for. Sure, I love the luxe fabrics and the coats and the boots, but between the weather and the elements and the layering, it can sometimes feel tough to look as cool as I'd like while staying as warm as I must. Not to worry—for every problem, there's a solution.
As I do every season, I recently did a little internet sleuthing in search of chic outfits to serve as my inspiration for the months ahead. Below, you'll find 10 outfits to keep you looking chic this winter using pieces you likely already own, from legging-clad ensembles to more dressed-up outfits. Of course, if your wardrobe is lacking something or you simply want to do some shopping just because, I've got you covered there too. Just keep scrolling to get started.
