What to buy in winter: 10 inevitable wardrobe hits
EVERY SEASON WE TELL ABOUT THINGSthat you can add to your wardrobe. Ahead is a long winter with a nervous amplitude of temperature jumps. And if on moderately cool days there is enough of an autumn coat and scarf, you should already thoroughly prepare for the frost and keep at hand really warm objects. We chose ten things that are suitable for any weather in the next six months.

Overseas park
Following the down jackets (which, it seems, has already reached the maximum size), the designers took up sports jackets - they also added in volume and now resemble larger versions of snowboard parks. For residents of central Russia, the trend is more than pretty - we hope that, following the grand brands, warm and beautiful jackets for the winter will also be released by the mass market.

Balaclava
The second winter in a row designers are not ready to part with balaclava. Gucci, Calvin Klein and Joseph republish the hits of last year, but now they have been joined by sports brands like Puma and adidas, and young Russian brands like Mirstores, Check Ya Head and Hideandseek.acc.

Underwear as an independent element of the wardrobe
Thermo underwear today is experiencing the same thing that happened a decade ago with combination dresses. On the wave of interest in outdoor aesthetics, tops and long sleeves of high-tech fabrics are transformed into an independent element of the wardrobe, which is not necessarily hidden under a sweater. The combination of woolen trousers and a monophonic sweater or silk skirt with an animal print and thermal t-shirts is quite appropriate today and more than relevant: what could be more logical than wearing winter clothes specially designed for the cold season?

Okolosportivnye gloves
We easily wear hikers and sweatpants in the city, and running shoes at a party for a long time no longer raise questions. This winter, designers are raising the bar above and are proposing to integrate new outdoor elements into their everyday wardrobe. Gloves, reminiscent of models for snowboarding and skiing, will save the skin of hands from dryness and will look great with a classic coat or a short sheepskin coat. You can find a pair in your liking in the mass market, but first of all we advise you to look in the direction of sports brands and outdoor brands.

Straight corduroy trousers
Velvet pressed velvet and other textured materials a couple of seasons ago, and there is a simple explanation for this (besides the revived interest of designers to the 70th): coarse material gets on well with outdoor-aesthetics. Straight cut trousers - a great replacement for your favorite, but annoying jeans - will be a good company for an elegant silk blouse with a bow around your neck, and for a fleece or thermal shirt with minimal decor.

Silk shawl
The silk scarf is quite capable of competing with the usual woolen scarf. Firstly, dense silk is also reasonably warm, and secondly, smooth matter is obedient and easily turns into a hood or a narrow rope that can be tied to the wrist indoors. Designers this winter advise you to forget about the rules and wear a wide shawl with a classic print in the form of chains or a small ornament with snowboard jackets, huge down jackets or fluffy fur coats made of faux fur.

Long satin or silk dress
Actively working with sportive equipment, designers do not forget about the main winter holiday. Overseas parks and fur hats they propose to wear with satin and silk dresses to the floor. This length does not seem excessive to us, but options are possible: bright midi versions with long sleeves are a great substitute for the bored Lurex and lace.

Boots with a wide top
Boots with a wide top replaced the boots, which did not leave the podium for a couple of seasons. Their main advantage is outstanding livability. If you want to remember the 90s, feel free to reload tight boots in jeans or sweatpants. Feel the spirit of the 70s? Choose a midi knit dress or pencil skirt and a silk blouse. Well, do not forget about the 60's and the canonical combination of flat boots and a short A-line dress.

Faux fur hats
More and more designers refuse to work with natural fur, replacing it with artificial materials. At the same time, modern technologies help create a realistic imitation of fur, which warms no worse and looks believable. If the winter for you wakes up the love of all the fluffy, pay attention to the "fur" hats - voluminous turbans, Panama and earflaps this season have released expensive brands like Gucci, and sports, like The North Face, and the mass market.

Rhinestone Accessories
Another reminder of a soon holiday, which can be safely worn now: accessories with rhinestones in the 2000s style will be appropriate both in the office and at the main party of the year. Chandelier earrings, massive bracelets and pendants are not the only option: the designers this winter decorate clutches, berets, belts and combs for hair with myriads of rhinestones.
