Winter Going Out Outfit Ideas That’ll Have You Owning the Night

Winter. It’s that magical time of year when your breath turns into fog, your hair becomes a human-sized icicle, and your motivation to look good outdoors fights a losing battle against the urge to wear 15 layers of fleece. But before you let those thick sweaters and clunky boots become your permanent winter uniform, let’s take a moment to talk about winter going-out outfits, because, yes, you can still look good while avoiding frostbite.

First things first: We get it. You want to be warm. But you also want to look like you put some thought into your outfit, not like you just rolled out of bed in a sleeping bag (even though it might feel like that some days). Lucky for you, dressing for winter outings is all about striking the correct ratio between practical and stylish. So, while I won’t advise you to trade in your down jacket for a crop top in a snowstorm, I will give you a few essential tricks to keep both the chill and the embarrassment at bay.

Think about this: You’re heading out for drinks with friends, a romantic date, or maybe just to the grocery store, you need something that won’t make you resemble the Michelin Man. You need layers, but you also need to look put together. And that’s where most stylish women make mistakes so for this reason I have collected some of my favorite going-out outfits that you can go with this 2025 winter.

From chic faux fur coats that keep you toasty to cozy knits that make your Instagram look like it was shot in a European winter, I’ve got the 23 outfit ideas to keep you looking fire while you fight off that inevitable chill.
