Winter is definitely not a sexy season. Your favourite floor-length puffer coat can be a major mood killer, your skin is dry, and your hair is staticky, so what you wear underneath it is crucial. You need clothing that will make you feel put together, sexy, and trendy. The most popular Luxe Winter Fashion this season seem to have been created especially for that reason.
Across all categories, sexiness is a prominent motif, and many of this year’s trends are directly related to “things you’d wear naked in front of a roaring fire.” Your cold-weather wardrobe will feel more luxurious with the addition of leopard print accessories and voluminous (fake) fur coats. In the meanwhile, seductive burgundy hues will elevate even the most basic silhouette.
Even though the word “quiet” has been gone, “luxury” is still very much the style of the season, and almost everything on your seasonal buying list will reflect this. For instance, every major trend in accessories was taken directly from the closet of the wealthiest female you’ve ever met. Luxurious choices like XL designer clutches, suede boots, and pricey mixed metal jewellery can add a much-needed touch of luxury to your favourite cold-weather essentials.
Rakuten shopping and trend analyst Bella Gerard claims that the current craze for luxury in Luxe Winter Fashion is a means of surviving the tough season. “As a reaction to the gloomy weather, many find themselves gravitating towards luxury during the winter months,” she says InStyle. “Getting dressed can increase serotonin levels.”
And they do provide. The most luxurious winter 2024 fashion trends that the market has to offer are broken down by Gerard below; they’re all sure to make you feel like a million bucks.
Luxe Leopard Print
“Leopard print is one of those things that will always be in style,” as Gerard correctly observes. But “the ways in which we like to style it shift year after year,” she continues. Particularly in 2024, we’re witnessing an increase in flashy jackets and conspicuous accessories like boots, bags, belts, and gloves.
Conveniently, the trend goes quite well with espresso brown, another quickly expanding trend. “This season, we’re using shades of brown instead of black,” Gerard explains. “Brown and leopard go hand in hand like clockwork.”
Mixed Metals
Gold is making a comeback in the jewellery industry, despite the fact that fashionistas, including myself, have been wearing silver for the past several seasons. However, its counterpart isn’t going anywhere; in fact, wearing both metallics at once is the key for winter. “Mixed metals are dominating the jewellery industry more than before. Even people who used to be devoted to exclusively gold or only silver have started to mix and match, according to Gerard.
Every popular jewellery brand, including Jenny Bird, Heaven Mayhem, and Mejuri, is launching two-tone designs of their own. To make your most worn jewellery feel brand new, stack up your existing gold and silver pieces if you’re trying to save money.
Suede Everything
But, like many trends, suede’s comeback has been swift, making a notable comeback in fashion. It’s resurfacing in a big way, finding its place across various collections and designs. The trend is now everywhere, signalling suede’s strong revival in the Luxe Winter Fashion industry. In the mid-2010s, suede became a dominant material, covering everything from jackets to bags and footwear, with the Peter Pan boot craze being a major highlight. Later, however, its popularity faded as croc prints and patent leather took centre stage, gradually pushing suede out of the spotlight.
High-Fashion Clogs
The fact that statement clogs have recently become a mainstay in my shoe collection is not surprising. Along with the loafer and the traditional winter boot, this slip-on design is swiftly rising to the top of the Luxe Winter Fashion charts for the winter season. They are a great option for the winter because of their striking designs and ease of wear. Designers are bringing new looks and styles to the market by fully embracing the clog trend. This season, clogs are making a big fashion statement with their comeback. This shoe style is obviously here to stay for the 2024 winter.
Black Cherry
Although it’s difficult to discover a red colour that isn’t in style for winter 2025, black cherry still reigns supreme. In particular, the rich colourway has taken front stage in the footwear and handbag industries, dominating seasonal collections.
“In the colder months, hues like wine, oxblood, and burgundy always gain traction,” explains Gerard. Consider black cherry to be the framing for this year. Like previous variations of this shade, it’s a stunning hue that complements all skin tones and is perfect for adding some flair to more casual fashion occasions. This vibrant colour feels particularly wearable when contrasted with bolder shades like scarlet and butter yellow. “Whenever you intend to wear all-black, replace the item with a black cherry one to give your outfit a little more
Leather Bomber Jackets
According to Hailey Bieber, her coat closet is probably 70% bomber jackets, and the rest of us will soon follow suit. The stylish yet practical outerwear style was a major feature of the Fall/Winter runways and has subsequently spread to almost all major retailers.
According to Gerard, “some outerwear silhouettes are ideal for doing the exact opposite—just as barn jackets tone things down.” These big toppers are designed to accomplish just that. They are a refined version of the streetwear mainstay of casual-cool.
Wide-Leg Flares
I discovered that my denim drawer is now exclusively packed with wide-leg flares while recently rummaging through it. This look has steadily gained popularity and will formally overtake barrel jeans as the season’s biggest trend come winter. Celebrities that have adopted this silhouette and demonstrated its adaptability include Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, and Katie Holmes. Due to its effortless elegance and appealing fit, the wide-leg flare has rapidly gained popularity. With more and more individuals replacing their old jeans with flares, it’s obvious that this trend is here to stay. Flares are at the forefront of a changing denim scene in Luxe Winter Fashion.
