Do you have all these winter wardrobe essentials in your closet? These are foundational to most winter outfits. See if you have all ten of them.
Winter Wardrobe Basics
It’s winter, so let’s talk about winter wardrobe essentials. Next week, I’m sharing a brand new Winter Better Than Basics week (you can see my Summer Better Than Basics HERE and my Fall Better Than Basics HERE), and that’s all about those pieces that are beyond the basics.
So today we need to talk about the winter basics…the super versatile pieces that are foundational to an outfit.

10 closet staples for winter you should have in your closet
1. Sweaters
Sweaters are essential during the winter months, of course, even if you live somewhere with mild winters! This includes cardigan sweaters, pullover sweaters, turtleneck sweaters, and tunic length sweaters. All are good. Choose which ones are best for your style and invest in those.

2. Dressy Coat
A nice coat is absolutely a closet essential for winter. I have a few that I love, but I just bought THIS BLACK ONE that I plan to wear for the rest of my life. It’s an investment piece, so if you’re looking for something similar for a lower price, check out THIS ONE.

3. Casual Coat
You can’t always wear a dressy coat…sometimes you need those casual coats that look great with more casual outfits. THIS ONE from Amazon is one of my very favorites. But if you need something warmer (we’re in Dallas where we have mostly mild winters) a longer puffer coat or snow jacket is a great idea.

4. Jeans
I love skinny jeans in the winter cause they’re great for boots. But I also have loved the new styles of jeans that have become popular in the last few years. You can choose whatever styles work for you!
I shared a breakdown of different styles of jeans IN THIS POST, if you need some help, and also some ways to wear boots with straight leg jeans in THIS POST.
My all time favorite jeans are from Good American – I have several styles, but THESE and THESE are my most worn. I wear a size 0, and normally wear a size 26 in jeans.

5. Leggings
I love leggings in the winter with sweatshirts and pullovers, and long tunic length sweaters. If it’s super cold where you live, try FLEECE LINED LEGGINGS.
I’ve also been living in my Spanx FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS. And my ZELLA LIVE IN LEGGINGS are my all time favorites.

6. Boots
Boots are an absolute essential during the winter. My CHELSEA BOOTS have been a closet staple for me this winter and last (I bought them last January), but also a pair of FUR LINED DUCK BOOTS or TALL LEATHER BOOTS are great staples for the season.

7. Long sleeve layering t-shirt
I love having a few good layering shirts to wear under sweaters for extra warmth, or for a little pop of pattern underneath a basic top. I just bought THIS ONE in black and white and it’s a great option for basic layering.

8. Tights and socks
Tights and socks are an essential in those cold winter months! I love wearing tights with dresses, and I wear THESE TALL SOCKS under my boots constantly.
Also, patterned sheer tights are really popular right now and make a fun statement with a simple outfit.

9. Hats
Hats are definitely an essential in the winter when it’s freezing. I prefer beanies, personally, but also fedoras and baseball caps are great (they just don’t give you the same warmth).
They’re great for wearing out, but also for lounging at home. I just bought THIS CARHARTT BEANIE and I’m loving it.

10. Sweater dresses
Sweater dresses are a great option for when you need to dress up but want to stay warm. You can wear them with tights, tall socks and boots, or with bare legs, but they’re just a cozy option for a winter dress.
I just did a post about how to wear sweater dresses RIGHT HERE.
