For the majority of us the fall/ winter weather has fast appeared. I can't even remember the last time I left the house without a ton of layers on or a jacket on! I've even experienced the first snowfall of the season. With it only being the beginning of these cold months, our fashion needs to look hot to override the frigid temperatures. You don't need a whole new wardrobe to be stylish so here are the nine must haves staples for your wardrobe this winter!
This leather jacket for HM by Versace goes for $299. I am loving leather jackets either to enhance your outfit or keep you warm. This is the perfect way to edge up an outfit and gives you the tough girl vibe. This jacket can be worn all year which is fab!
These Free people boots go for $279. I am OBSESSED with boots right now. Cowboy, leather, booties, knee high, heeled; you name it, I want it! These should be a staple in every girls closet. They're so many options and they look good with nearly everything. Wear your motorcycle boots with skinny jeans or knee high heels with a dress.
(On left) Rachel Zoe blouse for $295 or an affordable version (On right) Lucca Couture for $59. I am loving the bow blouse! Blouses are so chic and feminine but the bow makes it so on trend. Wear it with black pants like Rachel Zoe did or add jean shorts like Lucca Couture. This takes the blouse to an ultra feminine level and still keeps it business savvy.

This fur vest from Ecote goes for $89. Fur vests are a must for the cold weather. Fur is super chic for winter but a vest is more wearable for indoor activities. It is wearable for any outfit and can easily be thrown over anything you have on. Make sure you're wearing faux fur, don't want to upset PETA or kill any animals in the process.
This JCrew scarf goes for $59.50. Scarves have been hot but I am loving them for these winter months. They are perfect for layering and they can add to that simple blazer or Tshirt. Add prints or a solid color and it is the perfect way to layer or spice up an outfit.
(On left) Rachel Zoe Cape (On right) Anthropology cape for $188. I am in love with capes for this season. They are a unique twist on a typical jacket and the shape is awesome. Some capes can even be worn as dresses with tights. This is the perfect outwear for winter!
These are both from Urban Outfitters, the sweater goes for $49 and the shorts are $39. Knits are amazing to keep warm during these cold months. I call this the 'grandma trend' of the oversized sweaters and knits but they are super cute and fashionable. The sweaters are perfect for layering and add tights with a pair of shorts.
These Urban Outfitters tights go for $20. Being an ice skater I love tights and wear them all the time. Now nude and black tights are considered 'boring' (even though I love my black tights!) and the prints and wild colors are what's hot. Pair tights with dresses, skirts, and even shorts. They keep you warm and make any outfit that much cuter.
This HM blazer goes for $49.95. I love blazers for every season. They make an outfit more polished and it looks so sophisticated. It's perfect for the upcoming months as an extra layer or a jacket. Blazers fall into the 'menswear' trend which is super sexy. Blazers, button ups, and boyfriend jeans all fall into meanswear. Be super feminine in what's typically a mans outfit.
Hope these staples end up in your winter wardrobe! Remember layer up, look hot (pun intended), and try to keep warm.
