Fashion almost runs at a faster pace in December, with all those cozy, chic, and bold fashions. This month is about staying warm while remaining stylish and on-trend. Here are the hottest December fashion trends. You’ll learn all about what you need to know to stay ahead in the fashion game.
Oversized Coats and Outerwear: The Bigger, The Better
This year’s biggest December fashion trends include oversized coats and outerwear. The silhouette is exaggerated to bring this functional and stylish trend. Layer it over chunky sweaters, button-down shirts, or dresses, the oversized coat will become your addition to a versatile wardrobe.
Oversized outerwear has been going on for a number of seasons. Find tailored oversized trench coats, long woolen coats, and statement-making puffers in emerald green, deep red, and classic neutrals. Such pieces can move with the same ease from casual daytime wear through formal evening wear
Chunky Knit Sweaters: Cozy Mingles with Style
As the mercury begins to fall, nothing can get out of the limelight like a chunky knit sweater. This season is different, as we are coming across so many oversized knits in the form of turtlenecks and cardigans. Whether you sport them over leggings, jeans, or skirts, these sweaters are necessary during the winter season.
From classic cable-knit patterns to more elaborate crochet designs, chunky knits are designed in a number of ways. You will also find them in an array of colors. Pair these sweaters with high-waisted trousers or a plaid skirt to elevate your look and create a balanced, chic outfit.
Statement Scarves: Bold, Warm, and Stylish
Accessories have also had their cold-seasonal must: scarves. This December, though, has given way to scarves of a totally different variety: bold, oversized, and full of personality. Whether you prefer the chunky-knit scarf version or cashmere, the scarves do not stop here; they do the talking, so to speak.
This season is all about bright patterns, graphic prints, and unique textures. A brightly colored scarf-like mustard yellow, ruby red, or forest green-can instantly add brightness to the neutrals of winter fashion, while plaid and houndstooth prints remain ever-present on the trend scene. To really make a statement, layer scarves over your oversized coat or throw one on with a simple sweater for an effortless pop of color and style.
Faux Fur: Sustainable Luxe
This December, faux fur is back in a big way, making it one of the standout trends of the season. The fashion world is embracing sustainability, and faux fur is just the perfect example of how to indulge in luxurious style without harming animals. Faux fur jackets, vests, and accessories are all over the runway and in everyday street style looks, offering both warmth and an added sense of glam.
Faux fur is really versatile; you can wear it as a statement jacket, wrap yourself up in faux fur for an evening event in the form of a stole, or add texture with faux fur-lined boots and bags. When you go to choose your faux fur pieces, go for rich jewel-toned hues or neutral tones for that more classic look. Not bad it is to mix textures: from faux fur combined with leather or denim for that edgy twist.
Plaid Prints: A Timeless Classic
The trend always favors plaid during colder months, and this December is no exception. From blazers in plaid to scarves with checks to plaid skirts, this print again tops the list of must-have prints for winter. So good about plaid-the checkered style-is its never-gone look; it forms just an exemplary base for your winter wardrobe collection, as it never goes out of style.
We have this season in numerous plaid color schemes: classic red and black to the pastel plaids and deep forest greens of more modern interpretations. Plaid turns up in unexpected places: dresses, trousers, even outerwear. If you’re looking to incorporate plaid into your wardrobe, a plaid blazer is a stylish and versatile option that pairs well with everything from jeans to midi skirts, while plaid pants can make a bold statement when paired with a simple, neutral top.
Leather Everything: From Outerwear to Accessories
This winter, leather is still on top, and this season, it’s the star of the show in all categories: outerwear, pants, skirts, and accessories. Leather offers exactly the right mix of style, durability, and warmth, thus being a must-have material during December fashion. From sleek leather jackets to leather pants, to even leather boots, this material will be found everywhere this season.
Get extra edgy and modern with layering a leather jacket atop your cozy sweater or oversized knit combined with a leather skirt. You can also play around with leather accessories like gloves, bags, and even scarves to give your outfit an instant lift and make it luxurious. This December, it seems that leather is no longer all about black and brown; bold colors are pushing through, such as deep burgundy and forest green, giving new life to this eternal trend.
Metallics: Shine Bright Like Diamond
December marks a month of celebrations, and there’s really no better way to punctuate the season than by adding a little sparkle to it. Metallics have really upped their ante this winter with layers of shine added onto anything from skirts in silver metallic to boots in gold metallic to help one become the bright spot at any holiday party or festive gathering.
The trick with metallics is finding a balance. Combine metallic tops with plain black skirts, or combine metallic accents with neutrals for chic and understated ensembles. If daring, rock the full metallic for all stares to be drawn unto your direction, or use metallic outerwear to add that modern touch in sleekness to any coat collection. Classic metallics such as gold, silver, and bronze are great, but one does not need to fear searching beyond for iridescent blues, pinks, and purples for that space-like appeal.
Monochromatic Looks: Understated Elegance
Sometimes less is more. Monochromatic outfits-where you wear different shades of the same color-are huge for December. It’s sleek, sophisticated, and just makes you look so put-together with very little effort. Whether you’re wearing neutrals head to toe or experimenting with bolder colors like all-red or all-navy, monochrome styling has got to be one of the most powerful ways to make a striking, cohesive outfit.
To perfect the look in monochromatic tones, the focus should be on layering different textures and fabrics. For example, a woolen coat with a satin blouse and leather pants will add depth and dimension to one color. And small pops of accessories-bags and shoes-in the same family of color elevate it, making you look like a fashionista with minimal effort.
Boots: From Necessity to ‘Must Have’ Foot Wear Trend
When it comes to footwear, boots are the necessary item for this December. From knee-high boots, combat boots to ankle length boots, they’ll give both style and warmth. Come this winter, boots take all-new shapes from chunky and platformed to sleekly heeled.
Specially combat boots, they have really relaunched, adding the vibe of comfort and edgy attitude into everything that ranges from dresses to jeans. If you are targeting a bit more elegant approach, take advantage of knee-high boots on suede or leather to evoke an air of polished mannerisms with skirts, dresses, or fitted trousers. Do not forget about the fashionable trend-the platform boots-bringing more fun to your footwear while remaining warm during the cold seasons.
Sustainable Fashion: Eco-Friendly and Trendy Choices
Last but not least, sustainability is still one of the largest fashion trends, and something each shopper should be considering. This December, the focus will be on eco-friendly materials, ethical manufacturing, and conscious consumerism. More brands are offering collections made from organic fabrics, recycled materials, and sustainable dyes-so you can look stylish without compromising your values.
Go green with your fashion choices: recycled wool for coats, organic cotton sweaters, or cruelty-free leather accessories. This will surely have a lesser carbon footprint, though still very trendy. Not only are many of the eco-friendly brands offering more multifunctional, timeless pieces than ever, but they also constitute a very good investment, both for your wardrobe and for the planet.
