Fall & Winter Outerwear Trends

Faux Fur Vests

Infinity Scarves

A staple in any outerwear wardrobe, infinity scarves made a big splash last year and have come back even stronger this winter. Skip the solids and go for an animal print, stripe or this fun black-and-white chevron print from Michael Kors. These will add extra style to a basic winter coat and keep you warm.

To buy: Piperlime, $68

Moto Jacket

The moto jacket is an essential fall layering piece, instantly adding a touch of style and personality to your everyday outfit. Classic black leather (like this Guess jacket) is still the most popular color, but you’ll also be seeing many shades of brown, caramel and tan this season—hues that can really brighten up your look.

Field Jackets

Field jackets—more casual than trenches and not as big and bulky as parkas—are the perfect lightweight fall coats. They can have a bit of a military look, since fatigue green is their most common color, but you'll generally also find field coats available in navy blue.

To buy: Gap, $148

Sophisticated Military

"Military" and "chic" are two words you don't typically find together. With camo and lichen green both ultra-trendy this fall, though, peacoats are taking on an even more army-like (and yes, more sophisticated) look. You'll see embellishments, buttons and collars enhancing traditional peacoats like this one by Vince Camuto.

Subtle Peplum

Peplum is one of the most feminine details you can add to a shirt, dress and—this season—even a coat. The subtle detail dresses up this coat, giving it a bit of a romantic and vintage style. It's great for special occasions, but will also complement a professional working mom's wardrobe.

To buy: Anthropologie, $228

Tech Earmuffs

Why stop listening to your favorite music just because it’s cold outside? Keep your ears warm and still get sound with these headphone earmuffs. The on-trend style of the tech-savvy accessories (these ones, from UGG) will means that even if you leave your MP3 player at home, you'll still be happy wearing them.
