Winter Fashion: Women’s Clothing Trends for Moms

When it’s cold outside, the only thing you may want to do as a busy, modern mom is stay at home and hide out in your sweats. But the latest winter fashion looks for women will make you want to get outside and show off your body. This winter season, women’s clothing is sophisticated yet romantic, understated yet daring. Our winter fashion guide will give you an overview of the greatest looks in women’s clothing. Who said winter fashion was boring?

Color

This winter, women’s clothing is all about a chic color palette that is polished and elegant.

Some key colors for winter include rich browns, beautiful jewel tones like plum and teal, different shades of grey, powerful red and classic black.

These colors are simple and transition well from day to evening; for example, try a gorgeous chocolate brown faux wrap dress. A wrap dress hides any problem areas, such as leftover maternity weight, making it an especially great clothing option for new moms carrying some extra baby weight and plus-size women. It also makes for great maternity clothing.

Jewel tones are showing up everywhere from sweaters and shirts to wool coats and are a great way to liven up those dreary winter days.

Metallics are also a popular color for winter. Try a metallic-colored empire shift dress for a special night out on the town. You can pair it with a simple shrug or cropped jacket if you’re feeling self-conscious about your arms or if you’re cold. The same dress can also be worn for day; just pair it with comfortable flats and a smart cardigan.

Fabric

Fabric is another important element of this season’s winter fashion for women. Women’s clothing is being featured in a wealth of different fabrics this season, which makes it easy to add texture and a sense of luxury to any outfit.

Velvet is an especially hot fabric for winter. Try a fitted velvet jacket in a midnight blue or emerald green. Jackets with a belt or sash are a current look and can help minimize any tummy problems as well as create the illusion of a slimmer waist when worn slightly above the natural waist line.

Look too for embroidered fabrics, such as crocheted-style sweaters and cardigans.

Fit

While this season’s skinny pants might have you running for the hills, fret not. There are a variety of classic shapes out there that fit well on any body.

For bottoms, try a boot leg cut or a pant with a slight flare. Wider leg options are also popular this season, and can help camouflage trouble areas. Just be sure not to go too baggy as this will look sloppy and only accentuate problem areas.

Accessories

This season, the accessories are as much the stars of an outfit as the clothes are.

From metallic handbags to candy-sized cocktail rings, accessories are all about being bold.

Try wearing a sparkling ring with a little black dress for a romantic night out or pair a structured silver handbag with jeans and a top for a night out with the girls. Chandelier earrings can also add a touch of glamour to any outfit.

Your shoes can also add color to your outfit; a pair of red pumps can update your classic little black dress and add a modern twist when paired with jeans and a t-shirt.

Just be sure to keep accessories down to one or two pieces per outfit in order to look sophisticated instead of comical.
