It has felt like winter here in Toronto for some time already, but this week has definitely been the coldest so far!

From practical wardrobe staples that will keep you warm to stylish accessories that will add some interest to a winterized outfit – here are the 9 winter fashion staples you need in your closet!

Scarf

A post shared by Urban Outfitters (@urbanoutfitters)

While out and about in the freezing temperatures, your coat and outerwear accessories are essentially your entire outfit. So, having a scarf you love can add personality (and warmth) to an otherwise simple look. We’ve been loving the balaclava scarf look for some flare. 

Lined Boots

A post shared by SOREL (@sorelfootwear)

While living in a cold climate, you’ll quickly realize that if you’re feet get cold, it’s over. There’s nothing worse than freezing from the ground up in the wintertime, which is why having a pair of warm-lined boots is an absolute must! You can even find options that don’t scream “winter boots,” if that’s a concern. 

Puffer Coat

A post shared by Aritzia (@aritzia)

Luckily for us, puffer coats are very much in style. Allowing us to stay warm and on-trend this winter! You can’t go wrong with Aritzia’s Super Puff. A well-known Toronto staple! 

Toque

A post shared by Charlotte Olivia (@iamcharlotteolivia)

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 in Canada this winter! And just like scarves – hats help to personalize your outdoor fit. 

(Faux) Fur Coat

A post shared by kate bartlett (@katee.bartlett)

This winter is the winter of the fur coat, it seems. As dubbed as part of the “mob wife” trend on TikTok, a fur coat adds such an element of glamour to a winter outfit! The coats speak for themselves, requiring no extra effort from you. Vintage and faux are the best options here! 

Tights

A post shared by Ida Sjunnesson (@idasjunnesson)

It’s no secret that tights (AKA nylons) are having a major moment right now! Spruce up your already cute outfit with some fun tights! Such as red, grey, or lace. You can even wear them under pants for a light extra layer of warmth. 

Dark Shades

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Le Specs (@lespecs)

Who says sunglasses are just for summer? Not us. Accessories are everything when dressing for winter, as most outfits tend to get covered in outerwear. A pair of dark shades is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe for a cool-girl look. And let’s face it. Snow can feel just as bright as the sun, anyway! 

Chunky Earrings

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by JENNY BIRD (@_jennybird)

One of the few places that don’t end up getting covered by winter gear is the ears! Even when wearing a hat or ear muffs, usually there’s some room for earrings to poke out and make an appearance! As we’ve mentioned above, accessories are one of the ways you can add some interest to your look all through winter. No matter how cold it is!

Base Layers

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by UNIQLO Canada (@uniqlocanada)

You can wear basically any outfit you want in the winter if you put warm base layers underneath for some added insulation! Uniqlo’s HeatTech Collection, for example, is a great option to layer comfortably under clothing to keep you extra warm.

With January quickly approaching, it’s safe to say it’s time for Canadians to bundle up. Canadian winters are particularly gruelling, which is why warmth is of the utmost importance when shopping for winter gear (although style comes in at a close second). The key is to stock up on the best brands for winter.

There is a handful of brands that actually understand what it’s like to endure Canadian winters. There are even fewer who understand them so well that they build their brands and design products around helping people withstand the elements — whether that be freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, ice, or wind.

Here are the best brands for Canadian winters.

If you’ve already shopped your seasonal wardrobe staples yet still find your outfits are missing a little something, it probably comes down to accessorizing. You can wear the simplest outfit (think jeans and a plain sweater), and with some great accessories, it can quickly become an ultra-stylish look. This season, it’s all about accessories. And for that, we can thank the quiet luxury trend! And as simple as adding some accessories sounds, it can actually feel a little overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. So, we’ve put together a guide of accessories to shop that can easily be incorporated into your wardrobe to effortlessly upgrade your style for the upcoming months and beyond!

Shop these accessories to upgrade your current style

Chunky Jewellery

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Mejuri (@mejuri)

Statement jewellery has made an elevated comeback! Minimal jewellery will always be in style, but mix and layer it with some chunky jewellery pieces to add extra depth to your look. Whether it be with stand-out earrings, a thick chain necklace, or even a large watch – chunky jewellery pieces, in gold, silver, or both, will add interest and shine to your outfit. 

Fashion Gloves

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Bottega Veneta (@bottegavenetaworld)

As we enter the colder months, we’ve been seeing more styling of gloves! Not to be confused with knit, practical gloves and mittens that will keep your hands warm. We’re talking opera, lace, fingerless, and leather gloves, with their sole purpose being style here. Depending on their fabrication and style, gloves can either completely elevate and make an outfit more elegant, or they can add an element of edginess and contrast. 

Statement Belts

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Millie Holmes (@immillieholmes)

In recent fashion weeks, there’s been a surge of waist-accenting silhouettes, so it’s no surprise that statement belts have taken centre stage to go alongside the waist-defining trend. Invest in a statement belt to add to your outfits that could use some extra shaping (think blazers and knits), or simply pair with any bottoms that have loops! Not only do belts allow you to play around with shape and proportion, but they also add a stand-out detail to your outfit, helping to break up the clothing a bit.  

Loafers

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Steve Madden (@stevemadden)

Heeled, chunky, or sleek – loafers are the shoes of the season! They’re practical, stylish, and can be styled with practically anything and everything, making an outfit look more expensive and smart.

Sock Details

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Vagabond Shoemakers (@vagabondshoemakers)

We know what you’re thinking. Socks are hardly an accessory, right? Wrong! Styling socks has become a major trend this season, and it’s one you may not even have to shop for! From plain white socks to more stylized versions, having your socks peaking out, especially while wearing a skirt or dress, is the moment right now. 

Knee-High Boots

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by ALDO shoes (@aldo_shoes)

The boots of choice this season seem to be knee-highs in all shapes and forms! We love knee-high boots for styling purposes, as simply putting on a pair instantly elevates your outfit, making it high-fashion and intentional. 

Caps

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kezia Rose Cook (@keziacook)

Baseball and “Newsboy” caps are everywhere right now! Keep your head warm while still staying on-trend and stylish with the addition of your cap of choice! They give a subtle model-off-duty look thanks to their casual vibe. 

Shades

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by LIVIA ROSE (@liv.therose)

Don’t leave your shades behind, even in the colder months! Though it isn’t as bright out anymore, the sun still shines, and let’s face it. Sunglasses just look cool. This time of year, we prefer to opt for a darker-coloured pair with thick frames. 

Go-To Bag

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by CHARLES & KEITH (@charleskeithofficial)

Upgrade your style by investing (and no, this doesn’t mean it has to be designer) in a great go-to bag that will tie together all of your outfits! Yes, bag styles may have to vary slightly depending on the occasion; however, everyone should have at least one small to medium-sized purse that can go with most outfits on a day-to-day basis that carries all the essentials (phone, wallet, keys, and gloss).

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

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Hannah Harrell (@hannnahhtaylor)

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

A post shared by Nitsan Raiter Fluxgold (@nitsanraiter)

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

A post shared by ALEKSANDRA STĘPIEŃ (@aleksandraastepien)

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

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sportmax (@sportmax)

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

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by woojung (@woojungyi)

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

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Lizzy Hadfield (@lizzyhadfield)

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

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kim | Love Cloth (@kimturkington_)

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

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Marie Sinitsina (@marie_sinitsina)

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!

With so many down-filled parka brands dominating the market, finding a winter jacket that is animal-friendly seems difficult. However, contrary to what you might think, there are a variety of brands with vegan and cruelty-free winter coat options so that you can stay true to your principles, and stay warm, too.

You can rest assured that none of these brands use fur or down for insulation. Rather, they use top-of-the-line synthetic materials so that you can remain cozy even when the temperatures drop below zero.

Here are the best vegan and cruelty-free winter coat brands to shop right now.

Frank and Oak

The Toronto-based brand, founded by former CFL player James Yurichuk and best friend Anthony DeBartolo, is just as tough on the weather as its mission to be cruelty-free. Using PrimaLoft insulation, a military-grade technology, these coats are a game-changer as they apparently outperform down coats.

Save the Duck

This stylish outerwear brand doesn’t waste time getting its message across: Save the Duck is pretty self-explanatory. Great for travel or commuting, these super lightweight puffers and raincoats are comfortable on your body and conscience. Rather than using goose down, the Milan-based company uses its proprietary technology to replace down with a warmer, more breathable material.

Noize

A post shared by NOIZE (@noizeoriginal)

The Montreal-based brand is feather-free, fur-free, completely vegan, and most importantly, PETA-approved. But Noize’s effort to be sustainable certainly doesn’t dampen their style — these jackets are stylish with details like contrasting colours, as well as faux fur and leather trimmings that look incredibly realistic. The best part is that all styles are available for under $300.

Arc’teryx
