Fashion trends for Winter 2014: the clothes

It’s time to forget about dull and neutral colors! For this season, designers are betting on flashy patterns and textures to get you through the wintry chill.


  • The tops:
    the main piece for this winter 2014 will be the statement coat. Oversized pieces with eye-catching patterns and lots of colors will be the favorites, so don’t be afraid of wearing them. If you prefer something a little less overpowering, then ponchos and capes will be a great alternative.
  • The bottoms: while the combination of pant and dress still continues to be popular, the other fashionable choice that’s growing in popularity for winter 2014 will be the midi skirt. This remnant of last year’s winter will still be chic for this year, and will add softness to your winter apparel.
  • The shoes: for this season, knee-high boots will continue to be the main choice. Don’t be afraid to try statement designs, or neutrals such as gray or earthy hues.
