Winter is officially here, and figuring out what to wear when it's freezing outside is not always the easiest of tasks. But if you're in need of a new coat, a cute going out skirt, or just want to know what to wear these days, this is the place to look. Here, we've laid out 5 of the biggest trends you can expect to see this winter, from the new it color of the season to the newest and coolest textures and silhouettes, and how to start shopping for them now.

Athleisure

The best part about this trend has always been (and always will be) that you get to incorporate loungewear into your look. Whether it's by wearing a hoodie under a blazer or wearing your track pants with a heel, it's all about dressing for comfort.

While it's freezing out, at least you'll be in the comfort of a super soft coat. This winter is all about soft and fuzzy textures, whether it's in the form of a coat, sweater, or skirt.

Leather

Sure, leather isn't anything new, but it might be time for you to add a leather coat to your wardrobe, if designers have anything to say about it. From trench coats to bomber jackets, you can let your outerwear be the center of your outfit.
