Winter fashion is often forgotten in comparison fashions for other seasons. For one, all the layers and bundling can cover a perfectly cute outfit. But as even Britain's royals have shown, dressing for chillier weather can be fun and fashionable — and inexpensive. Yes there are more clothes and layers to put on, but the layers themselves are what make the outfit complete. And accessories simply add to the look. Winter clothes can be cute, too. Sherpas became a huge trend in late 2019, and the best part is they are so comfortable. What's even better? Target has all of these items at reasonable prices.
So taking a nod from Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's fashion looks, as well as our own knowledge of trends, we found staples at Target that make stylish outfits. Think long-sleeved sweaters and chunky knits that can pair with leggings or dark wash jeans. There's also different style pants, from jeggings to boyfriend style or mom jeans — which are incredibly comfortable. As far as layers, like we mentioned above, sherpas are big, as are cardigans and jackets. And all of it is under $40 per item.
While it may be tempting to throw on oversized sweaters (which are super cute), think outside of the box. There are lots of other options to look stylish from December through March, starting with these pieces. (Listen, in many places it can still be cold through the beginning of spring.) Happy bundling up!
