Toronto, we’ve been greeted with our freezing rain storm of the season. If that isn’t a memo to have some winter boots on standby, we don’t know what is! Although winter doesn’t technically start until later in December, we tend to get an early glimpse here. We can probably all relate to the dread of putting away our chic fall boots for winter ones, as the practical nature of a winter boot can make them well… not so cute. But thankfully, that doesn’t always have to be the case! If you know where to look, you can find winter boots that are both practical and cute, allowing you to strut through the streets of Toronto, even during a blizzard, without sacrificing your style.
These boots are equally cute and practical!

Even though winter technically begins on the 21st of December, it tends to get an early start here in Toronto. It’s already time to switch out some of those go-to fall pieces for winter staples! The winter season may have us gravitating towards our coziest sweats, but the cold weather doesn’t have to be fashion’s demise. Even on the coldest of days, with the help of some key winter fashion staples, you can be stylish all season long.
Here are some of our favourite winter fashion staples that you need in your wardrobe!
Turtlenecks
Everyone needs at least one turtleneck in their closet to get them through the winter. It’s the ultimate winter fashion staple in our opinion. Whether it be fitted, which is great for layering – throw on your coziest cardigan or chicest blazer overtop and you’re set. Or more of a chunky knit for those days when you want to be cozy yet still stylish.
Toques
Not only will a toque rescue you on a bad hair day, but wearing a warm hat is completely necessary if you plan on stepping outside this winter! Plus, you have to admit, some toques totally complete an outfit.
UGGs
You either love them or hate them, either way, you know they’re comfy. UGG boots are in their moment yet again after taking some years off the radar. Whether you follow fashion trends or not, it’s a great excuse to sport the comfiest boots ever.
Puffer Coats
It goes without saying that you need at least one warm coat for winter. A puffer coat is probably your best bet if you don’t want to be cold while you’re out and about. Plus, they’re super on-trend. We love any coat that makes us feel like we’re still at home wrapped in a blanket.
Knee-High Boots
As we’ve said before – knee-high boots are it right now. If you’ve yet to find your perfect pair, check out 10 of the Best Knee-High Boots to Shop. Knee-high boots are not only stylish, but they’re quite practical for the wintertime, as they keep you more protected from the elements than an ankle boot might.
Fleece-Lined Tights
We have to thank TikTok for this one. If you’ve never heard of fleece-lined tights, prepare for your mind to be blown! They look just like regular sheer tights, but are lined with fleece to keep you warm, even while wearing a skirt or dress! You could also put them on under your pants as some extra warmth reinforcement.
Wool Coat
If you’re not into puffer coats or would like an option for when you want a more elevated look, a nice, long wool coat is the move! They compliment any and every outfit (yes, even sweats), and are still quite warm for being so stylish!
Jeans
It may sound basic, but having a nice pair of go-to jeans to get you through the winter is essential. Even your favourite style/shape but in a darker wash to throw on with any outfit! When you’re lacking fashion motivation, having a trusty pair of jeans to start your outfit off with takes a lot of the effort out of the dressing process. Tip: Opt for a pair with some stretch for extra comfort.
Crossbody Bag
When you’re all bulked up and ready to step outside this winter, there’s nothing worse than struggling to keep a shoulder bag on your shoulder, or freezing your hands off carrying the handle of a bag. Which is why having a crossbody bag is ideal. They tend to stay on your shoulder easier, they keep your hands free to stuff into your pockets for extra warmth, and lastly, they really pull an outfit together.
Matching Knit Set
There’s nothing better than feeling like you’re wearing sweats or pyjamas but actually looking cute and effortless. The secret: A matching knit set. Find a knit set made from a more lux fabric, versus the classic jersey-knit your favourite sweatsuit is probably made out of. Of course, there are no real rules here, but generally, this just makes the set look a tad fancier!

Just in time for winter, the legendary American outdoor clothing brand Woolrich opened its first Canadian location at Yorkdale. And to celebrate the launch of the first store and the new winter collection, the brand invited special guests – Emma Roberts, Jaime King and Canadian actor, Avan Jogia.
Yes, we got to hang out with the actors and saw what they wore for the night. All actors rocked Woolrich winter parkas: The star of The Art of Getting By Emma Roberts chose Woolrich All Good Coat in beige buffalo check, Jaime King stepped out in Woolrich Emily Coat in black, while Avan Jogia wore Woolrich Indigo Flannel Shirt and Woolrich Arctic Parka NF. You can find the images below.
The new bright Woolrich location is 2,800 square foot and is decorated with the iconic Woolrich Buffalo Check. Besides the wide range of men’s and women’s winter coats, the store features shoes, bags and winter accessories so necessary to survive the Canadian winters.
When it comes to protection against the cold, Woolrich is the brand to rely on. With the history dating back to 1830, the American brand has been setting the standard for woollen winter clothing for nearly 190 years. You can now become a part of this history and get your hands on the new collection at Yorkdale.
