I don’t know about you, but I’ve got some serious February fashion blues. Jake Fraley Cincinnati Reds The Viking shirt After a whirlwind last couple of months of holiday parties that required dressing up and a frenzied start to the new year, the unsettling reality of winter is now setting in. Even though I would love to hibernate inside, wearing my favorite pajamas or sweat sets on repeat, my busy new-year schedule has other plans in mind. To get out of my wardrobe rut, I went straight to my favorite fashion sources for a little style inspiration. We all need a little pick-me-up now and again. Since I like to keep my looks easy and classic the majority of the time, these six winter outfits offer just that. They’re extremely stylish but not terribly stuffy. Think tailored outerwear, cozy knits, and—my personal favorite—wide-leg trouser pants. (Pro tip: Trust this New Yorker; they are great for layering leggings, knee-high socks, or boots under in the winter for extra warmth.) When it comes to footwear, I am keeping things simple. Flat shoes, like vintage sneakers and lots of loafers, will keep me comfy and on the move in style. Since I am certain these outfits will be on regular rotation for me all month, I don’t mind sharing the ideas with you. Go ahead and make these six best looks for February your own. Whether you are hitting the slopes or not, lean into soft and cozy basics to see you through the next few weeks of winter. An oversize coat, a cable-knit sweater, slouchy trousers, and retro sneakers make an impossibly easy and effortless combination.
