As soon as I spotted this aviator-inspired jacket with its shearling fleece interior and larger-than-life lapels and collar, I knew I had to have it. For a shorter coat, it’s quite warm and incredibly cozy, and there are functional buttons along the front that allow you to close it on those chilly days, though I find that I prefer to leave it draped open over chunky sweaters. My only note is that it does run quite large, so I suggest sizing down if you prefer a more tailored fit.

I’ll never go a winter season without a new beanie, and this beauty adds a fresh pop of color that I didn’t know was missing from my life until now. It’s chunky and, most importantly, oh-so comfortable every time I wear it. I’m talking no traces of itchiness or suffocation, and you know that’s impressive once you learn that it contains wool, which is normally known to be beyond warm but slightly itchy. I repeat: This has no itch, people.

This piece reminds me of the sweater trend French women adore with its chunky design, thick fabrication and hip length. I ended up walking away with it after trying it on in the dressing room because it’s such an ideal piece to layer over long-sleeve tees or tanks, but it’s also great to pair with jeans or skirts and wear under long coats. When I tried it on in store, I sized up two times from my usual Zara size of M to an XL (pictured above) for a baggy fit, but ended up leaving with the L because I liked that it was still oversize but not unflattering. If you’re anything like me and tend to run hot, be warned that this is so warm on its own, you might need to cool it on the layers if you don’t want to end up drenched in sweat.

A neutral scarf makes for the best accessory, especially because it can be paired with nearly everything in your wardrobe. Perhaps, that’s why I gravitated immediately towards this one in the store. It boasts tons of warmth, thanks to the traces of wool that are in the blend, and it has fringe at either end for a bit of fun. I like that it’s rather large—66.9 inches long and 11.8 inches wide, to be exact. Wear it wrapped around your neck, draped on the collars of your coat or as a makeshift balaclava.

These fingerless gloves may be more fashionable than functional, but if loving them is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. Another essential that came home with me, these trendy gloves, which are made with 13 percent wool, are beyond cool and really keep my knuckles from getting chapped when its windy out. And they actually cover an impressive amount of my long fingers.

Got a holiday part on your calendar? Look no further than this velvet stunner. The sleeveless frock boasts a round neck and peplum hem that flares out along the hips. My favorite detail is the embossed metal buttons—they shine against the dark, rich material. Pair it with some stockings and pumps for an enviable look that’s sure to attract oohs and aahs.

Having a hefty coat at the ready come winter is a must, especially for those who live in colder climates. This beauty is a part of Zara’s ZW Collection and features a fitted silhouette that’s slightly tapered at the waist for a flattering and sleek look. It’s made of a warm wool blend and has a smooth viscose interior lining that’ll eliminate any possibility of itch from the knit. And the white color is ideal for anyone looking for a luxe and elevated outerwear piece, though I also love the trendy burgundy shade for a pop of color.

This wrap top proves that you don’t have to live in traditional sweaters all season long. It’s made from a soft and luxurious velvet fabric that’ll feel amazing on your skin and look extremely chic. Not to mention, the relaxed sleeves and fitted, flattering elements give it a modish feel that’ll look great on a night out.

PureWow readers adore these high-waist sailor jeans. They’re fitted at the waist, hugging the butt nicely with large, back patch pockets before relaxing at the thighs and flaring out into a wide leg that’ll pair well with your everyday sneakers.

I’m always in the market for sweaters, and this long-sleeve beauty is perfect for my ladies looking for something refined, polished and cozy. It has a round neck and longer length that falls just below the hips, but the best part is easily the skinny (and adjustable!) ties at the waist, which cinch the whole look in and create a flattering hourglass illusion.

You can never own too many cardigans. In wintertime, it’s better to be safe—in this case, prepared—than sorry, especially with a knit that’s crafted from 100 percent wool. The burgundy colored, long-sleeve cardi comes in a classic silhouette with traditional features like a round neck and front button closures. Plus, it has rib trimming along the neckline, waistband and cuffs that adds a sweet touch to this otherwise understated knit. Whether you layer it over a T-shirt, drape it on your shoulders or wear it on its own, this is a pick everyone needs in their closet. Oh, and did I mention it comes in a variety of colors like pink and brown, to name a few.

Come winter, I’m all about ease over fuss, and this midi dress came to deliver. It has long sleeves, a tasteful high neck and a side ruching along the bodice that’s oh-so flattering. It has a thin, soft rib material with lots of stretch and a luxe weight to it. Chic and elegant, the dress, which comes in three colors (maroon, black and green), is a must-have to complete that winter capsule wardrobe.

Practical, well-designed and durable, you can bet that these boots will last you more than a few seasons. The tall shaft is particularly popular this time of year, plus they have a roomy, wide calf that won’t feel suffocating around the legs and will allow you to tuck in pants (if you don’t feel like wearing them under skirts or dresses). Oh, and they have a zipper that makes them a breeze to slip your foot into. The 1.2-inch sole will give you a bit of boost in height, but it shouldn’t feel difficult or strenuous to walk long distances. And they have a rough, rigid bottom that gives them some nice traction on slippery terrains. I’m loving the classic, riding look that the asymmetrical design and pull tab detail on either side add.

In fact, the fabric has a subtle shine to it that can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion. Just play around with your turtleneck, oversize sweater and blouse pairings to make chic ‘fits for any day of the week.

Good news: You don’t have to store away your mini skirts for the entire season. In fact, I’m buying more to add to my collection, like this animal printed stunner from Zara. The mid-rise skirt is made with a faux-fur fabric that has a thicker quality compared to a silky slip. There’s even a side zip closure hidden in the seam, so you won’t have to hike the fabric up every time you need to run to the bathroom. Sophisticated and elegant, the mini skirt would not be complete without the matching jacket that’s constructed with the same textured material and fun print.

If you’re on the hunt for a wedding guest dress that isn’t nauseously expensive, then let me show you this tulle dress that’s less than $50. The textured fabric has a gorgeous floral print etched onto the material—the hints of white and plum adding depth and pops of color against the rusted brown base. The midi dress has a modest boatneck, but just wait until you see the open back with dainty crisscross straps. It creates an elaborate twist of fabric that’s both secure enough to hold your chest in and arresting to look at. The brand notes that the style runs small, so you may want to consider sizing up for a comfortable fit that doesn’t cling too tight.

And don’t get me started on the cute and playful fringe trim details...

I love silk bias skirts more than anything, that’s why I’m expanding my collection this season with wintery colors. It’s smooth, oh-so soft and incredibly luxe. The satin fabric creates a brilliant sheen that’ll catch the light with every twirl, and it’ll look just as stylish when paired with your boots. Psst…there’s a stretchy elastic waistband that won’t dig into your skin, too.

Trudging through snow, sleet or rain calls for a puffer. Zara’s midi version covers a lot of your body, ending just below the knees, and protects you from the onslaught of water and wind without making you feel like a stuffed sausage. That’s right, it’s water repellent and is made with a thermal insulation that is proven to withstand temperatures as low as negative 31 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the brand. I appreciate that it has a high collar and a hood, because there’s nothing worse than messing up your hair after you spent an hour on it. The sleeves have interior cuffs that are designed to keep the cold out, and you’ll be surprised to find that there are ventilated slits on either side. And it has pockets, people!

Never underestimate the power of dark wash jeans—these are bound to become a workhorse in your closet. Versatile to their core, these long straight-leg jeans are made with 100 percent cotton and come in a deep blue that can go from casual to fancy with the swap of heels or a nice blouse in place of your sneakers and chunky knit.

On those windy days, you need a lightweight yet sturdy coat and scarf to get the job done and keep you warm. Enter: the scarf coat from Zara’s ZW Collection.

The wraparound collar has a scarf attached, so it’ll look chic and elevated strewn around your neck. Not to mention, it'll eliminate the need to carry a scarf. Other details I love: the hidden pockets along the inseam and button closures along the front. It practically screams quiet luxury and would look so chic atop one of the formal dresses above.
