As the weather gets colder and the foods get warmer, fashion people worldwide are left wondering what to wear. Gone are the mini skirts, tiny dresses, and micro-shorts, and now in are the fur-lined coats, apres-ski wear, and winter hats.

So what are this year’s most stylish and chic winter outfits, and what brands are selling them?

To start with a more affordable brand, H&M has released its new winter collection, full of simple winter clothes that add a pop of style to your regular wardrobe.

The women’s collection has loads and loads of puffer jackets, from cropped to oversized, H&M has it all. Along with the puffer jackets, there is also a line of pea coats and exclusive leather gloves.

While the women’s has lots of outerwear, in the men’s collection it’s clothing to wear under jackets. The top results are soft-knit sweaters, sweater vests, and flannel pajamas. None of these clothes seem very apres-ski worthy, but definitely good to have in your winter closet for those chilly days.

The next brand is a bit more expensive but slightly affordable: Ralph Lauren. While this brand isn’t known for its winter collection, it’s not something to miss.

For the women, it’s full of beautiful trench coats, crew socks, and wool skirts. There’s also an assortment of accessories like tote bags, coin purses, and a fringe wool scarf. This collection is a bit on the pricier side; the materials, branding, and status of the collection speak for themselves with a hefty price tag.

For the men’s collection, it was a lot more chic than expected. With plaid wool trousers, French cuff tuxedo shirts, and cashmere scarves, it’s clear this collection didn’t come to mess around. The whole collection is apres-ski-worthy. What’s better than sitting by the fire in a lodge after spending the whole day on the slopes, wearing the most comfortable, festive knit cashmere sweater?

Finally, the most expensive brand so far is Loro Piana. A brand worth the hype and its mysterious prestige. If you’re reading this and you’re unaware of the brand Loro Piana, don’t worry, this is a quiet money brand; they don’t want to be seen, just bought and worn.

To start, their womens collection is quite iconic. Every single piece of clothing does not have a brand name or logo on it, a quiet luxury. This brand specializes in cashmere pullovers, cashmere pants, and exotic leather accessories and shoes. Some must-haves from this collection have to be the Napier baby cashmere scarf, a Parksville cashmere pullover, and their calf-skin Kilda boots.

To finish off, the men’s collection. Of course with it being Loro Piana, this collection, like the women, was filled to the brim with quality cashmere and exotic skin accessories and shoes. This collection also has a variety of long and short cashmere scarves, with gorgeous colors like teal melange, silver marble melange, and cinnabar. With good quality craftsmanship and handmade articles of clothing, this luxury brand is worth every penny.
