7 Winter Outfits That Are Warm and Super-Slimming

Winter clothes are notoriously bulky (out of necessity), but that doesn't mean you have to look like a marshmallow every day from now until spring. Instead, copy these seven slimming outfits that will keep you warm and looking sleek.

7 Outfits That Make Your Legs Look Longer


Turtleneck + Cropped Jeans + Pointy Pumps

To wear a bulkier knit without being swallowed by the fabric, tuck part of it into a pair of high-waist jeans to show that you do, in fact, have a waist. Then, slip into a pair of pointy-toed shoes to make your legs look longer (and make your overall shape appear leaner).

Get the look: Topshop turtleneck ($25); Frame jeans ($239); Vince Camuto pumps ($120)


Flared Jeans + Long Coat + Neck Scarf

Flared jeans are notorious for helping you fake miles-long legs. This winter, take it a step further by adding a neck scarf. It’ll draw the eye up and create an even longer line from your head to your toes.

Get the look: 3x1 jeans ($255); Eliza J coat ($100); Nordstrom scarf ($35)

Black Jacket + Black Jeans + Black Boots

What can we say? Black is universally slimming and all black is even more so.

Get the look: AFRM jacket ($158); STS Blue jeans ($45); Steve Madden boots ($130)


Distressed Jeans + Long Cardigan + Ankle Boots

Pair boyfriend jeans with a top that’s long and flowing, like this duster cardigan. The knee-length sweater lengthens whereas anything thick and cropped will just add width to your frame.

Get the look: Rachel Rachel Roy jeans ($99); Halogen cardigan ($41); Charles David boots ($160)

Turtleneck + Midi Skirt + Pumps

For a fancier option, tuck a slim-cut turtleneck into a high-waist skirt that grazes your calves. The skirt style is almost universally flattering and can totally be worn with tights, depending on how cold it is.

Get the look: J.Crew turtleneck ($30); Kate Spade New York skirt ($398); Schutz pumps ($190)

Turtleneck + High-waist Pants + Belt

High-waist pants are ideal for showing off your slimmest part. Belted high-waist pants take it to the next level, making your proportions look even more spot-on.

Get the look: H&M turtleneck ($30); Zara pants ($50); Banana Republic belt ($38)

Belted Coat + Leather Leggings

See? Belts are basically winter wardrobe wizards.

Get the look: Trina Turk coat ($398); Trouve leggings ($79)
