It’s official: We’ve reached peak winter where the temperatures are dropping well below freezing and the snow is falling. With that in mind, what better way to cure your mid-January blues than with a piece of cheerful yet chic clothing? From tried-and-true wardrobe essentials to the trending now, we’re elevating our everyday wardrobes with everything from colorful knits and outstanding outerwear options to printed day dresses and statement sequins. Yes, your sequins’ shelf life can (and should) extend way past New Years Eve! Just last week outside the European men’s shows, one stylish showgoer styled her silver sequin number with a classic black overcoat and a pair of barely-there kitten heels. The result had us running, not walking to our shopping carts.

The Notable Knit With a Leather Ladylike Jacket
Bold knitwear is another easy yet impactful element to consider when sprucing up your winter wardrobe. Take Christopher John Rogers’s multicolored turtleneck, for example. It’s made even more noteworthy when styled with Loulou Studio’s leather ladylike jacket and Proenza Schouler’s belted white jeans. And to tie the entire look together, metallic flats from Mango and leather beret do the trick.
