The Most Wearable Runway Trends To Try This Winter
From the catwalk to the sidewalk in style.
From the catwalk to the sidewalk in style.
Glen Plaid
The print of the season is all business. Gray check—aka Prince of Wales plaid for King Edward VIII who popularized the pattern—looks great as a set, but can be made casual with a basic pair of jeans too.
Mango Wool-Blend Blazer and Skirt, $190 for the set; mango.com
The Color Red
Stand out in a crowd of neutral coats with the it-color of the season: fire engine red. The bright hue will be a cheery pick-me-up on snowy days. Wear it as a pop of color, or head-to-toe like Kendall Jenner's Fendi look.
H&M Wool-Blend Coat, $129; hm.com
The Drawstring Bag
We predict the slouchier, drawstring shape (pictured here at Alexander Wang), will be the next it-girl handbag. Embellished in rhinestones it does double duty as a casual-yet-elevated evening clutch.

Wide-Leg Corduroy Pants
Tory Burch's cold-weather approved corduroy is the textile to wear once the mercury drops. The wide fit and low waist gives off an easy '70s vibe, while being forgiving enough to convince you to sip that third cup of hot chocolate.
H&M Wide Leg Corduroy Pants, $60; hm.com
Evening Tights
It seems like ages ago when Rihanna wore this full Gucci look at Coachella, but we're finally seeing what this bodysuit is spawning: the evening tight. Upgrade your LBD with embellished hosiery, because no one has time for a crystal-studded mask.
Out From Under Jewel Fishnet Tight, $16; urbanoutfitters.com
Slouchy Boots
For a perfect day-to-night shoe, try slouchy boots, as seen at Saint Laurent. It's part '70s hippie, part Kate Moss-era '00s, and 100% what we want to wear this season.
Saint Laurent Niki Thigh-High Boot, $1,895; fwrd.com
The Party Boot
If the last boot is lacking in glitz, go the distance with the it-shoe from Chanel: the party boot. This high-shine knee-high is a sparkly, go-go boot dream whose low heel will be key during holiday party season.
Kate Spade New York Olina Boots, $498; katespade.com
Short Puffer Jacket
The puffer jacket is making a triumphant return this season in a short and sweet silhouette. This floral and shearling number at Coach 1941 is prarie-winter cool, but you can opt for a version to wear daily like this neutral jacket.
Burberry Greenlawkn Puffer Jacket, $1,150; nordstrom.com
Oversized Turtleneck
Balenciaga featured a sweater so large it could probably fit two people (cuffing season, anyone?), but you'll want to snuggle in this oversized turtleneck all by yourself.
Zara Oversized Roll neck Sweater, $50; zara.com
The Beret
Maria Grazia Chiuri sent her Christian Dior models down the catwalk as a beret-wearing army, and we're falling in line. Lean into this headgear for winter, which is the best alternative to your worn-out beanie.
Gucci Leather Beret, $410; net-a-porter.com
Vintage-Inspired (Faux) Fur
Dig through your local thrift store for this throwback-inspired trend, keep it modern like at Louis Vuitton by styling it with sporty pants and combat boots. Either way, this granny-esque fur coat will keep you warm and looking timeless all season long.
& Other Stories Faux Fur Coat, $245; stories.com
Chainmail
Chainmail might read more medieval or Paris Hilton, but designers like Paco Rabanne are cutting the textile in new and interesting ways. If a metal dress is still DTM, ease into the look with this chic—and affordable—tote bag.
Topshop Chainmail Bag, $65; topshop.com
