    34 Winter Style Essentials For Anyone Whose Favorite Color Is Black

    Spoiler alert: faux leather and cozy staples in your fave shade ahead.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A fluffy knee-length teddy coat that doubles up on warmth and sophistication. With its long lapels and supremely cozy fabric, you'll laugh at the thought of being cold during your morning stroll.

    2. A cutout halter neck sweater to shake off the idea that thick knits have to be bulky and drab. This right here is the answer to your fashion adversities come the wintertime: Trendy, warm, and oh-so-unique.

    3. Vegan leather split hem pants because the search for *the* going-out-but-keep-it-casual pant is finally over and you can rest assured that these will serve your fancy (and equally comfy) mood well. Pair them with a sweater, a band tee, or a silky PJ blouse and you've got an Insta carousel waiting to be posted.

    Abercrombie and Fitch

    Promising review: "I wanted a pair of leather pants for NYE and when I got these they were perfect! They aren’t stiff at all and comfy even when sitting down. If they weren’t so expensive I’d buy three more pairs. Heads up, I sized up one and they fit perfectly. Usually a 31 but ordered a 32, and I’m 5’9” so I got a long; perfect length for me." —Abercrombie and Fitch Customer

    Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $55 (originally $110; available in sizes 23–37, in lengths extra short–long, and eight colors).

    4. A fleece hoodie dress made of comfy, fluffy fabric that says, "I could give your PJs a run for their money." Finding this among your heap of failed outfit options when it's frigid out — and you only have a few minutes to spare before wheels up — will essentially feel like finding a pot of gold.

    Promising review: "I bought one of these last year, and absolutely loved it. This one is my second one, and I only bought a second one because I needed more of this in my life. The other one is still in perfect condition even though I wear it all the time during the long Chicago winters. No pilling or weird defects that have cropped up despite the fact that the purple one was washed a couple of times a week and worn pretty much every day. Very high quality for the price and perfect for layering on cold days when you need to go in and out of the house a lot. I bought the XXL." —Maryam Louise

    Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3X and in 15 colors).

    5. A long-sleeve jumpsuit with a customizable drawstring waist, because Cozy O' Clock is calling and that means it's time for free-flowing fabrics only. Sayonara, denim and zippers! You have no place on our bodies for the rest of the day.

    6. Fleece-lined tights that will seamlessly weather-proof any (and I mean, any) outdoor outfit with their thick, fuzzy layer. Once you slide on these leg warmers, it'll be even more obvious that it's what's on the inside that counts.

    7. Lace-up boots so you can seamlessly replace your old scuffed-up pair that are due for an early retirement. We truly love a *timeless* style.

    8. A cozy knit roll-neck dress with pockets(!!) for an outfit that practically does all the work of getting dressed for you — and quite simply has glamour and warmth stitched into its core.

    9. A unique off-shoulder blouse guests at dinner parties will admire and instantly think the fashion queen hath arrived. Because in this regal get-up, you can zhuzh up some basic jeans or pair it up with a pencil skirt and leave all the jaws dropping.

    10. A super-soft fuzzy maxi tube skirt you probably didn't realize you needed until this very second. This chic lil' number screams '90s nostalgia and is the perfect way to display your commitment to your number one color.

    Urban Outfitters

    Promising review: "This is an absolute NEED, I don’t know how I am going to not wear it everyday." —Urban Outfitters Customer

    Get it from Urban Outfitters for $79 (available in sizes XS–L). 

    11. An expensive-looking faux shearling moto jacket because between you and me, this style has been my go-to for the past four years and I've never found a jacket that comes close to perfection like this one does. It's warm, stylish, dresses up loungewear, and perfectly complements a more pulled together look.

    12. A super-soft terry pull-on jumpsuit in the same color fam as your go-to shade to get your day off to a comfortable and productive start. Because between the hours of 9 to 5 you've promised yourself that you will not work from your bed — so as a treat, might we suggest something that replicates the softness of your sheets?

    13. A lightweight puffer that is a lot less bulky than your average winter coat, works for a lot of different climates, plus is practical enough to wear and then get rolled up and packed into a suitcase. Basically you needed this staple outerwear piece in fashion's most wearable color, like, yesterday.

    This comes with its own little travel pouch!

    Promising reviews: "I wore this jacket with with a long-sleeve shirt and it was enough to keep me warm in NYC in 36F. Very light and easily packed in the sleeve that comes with it. First day in NY rained all day and this jacket kept me dry. Wearing XS and have enough room to put a sweatshirt underneath." —Maria

    "I love this jacket. I'm allergic to down so finding and alternative that I like is always a challenge. It's nice and light enough to wear with a sweater underneath and not feel bulky and uncomfortable out and about. Sometimes the shame of these puffers is that they're very boxy, but I was surprised by how well this one fit compared to some of the bigger name brands. Tempted to get another color." —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $23+ (available in sizes XS–6X and in 30 colors).

    14. A plisse cami and wide-leg trouser set, which roughly translates as: a style that makes sleepwear-esque fabrics an acceptable form of winter party attire. This baby will feel light and slinky on your skin, and is the perfect touch of glamor that pairs well with a glass of champagne (or two).

    Boohoo

    Get it from Boohoo for $38 (originally $95; available in sizes 12–24 and three colors).

    15. Faux-fur wrist cuffs lined with soft fleece that can zhuzh up practically any and every top and coat you already own. Attach 'em to satin blouses, blazers...or even at the top of your boots for something totally *insert jazz hands* EXTRA.

    Promising review: "These will go perfectly to complement any leather gloves or perfect to complement the cuff of any leather coat. Perfect!" —Ronalda W.

    Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 15 colors).

    16. An oversized knit vest complete with pockets that'll award you major style blogger points when partnered up with a crisp white shirt or draped over a turtleneck and OTK boots. What do we call that again? Ah, yes, we call that über chic, darling.

    17. A faux leather tie waist coat — since we're all just living in The Matrix anyway, we might as well steal some style notes from the underworld. And trust me, this is a *must-have* for the season! Reviewers award it 5 stars for style and versatility, so do your winter wardrobe a favor and add this to cart.

    Torrid

    Promising review: "I live in Texas and the weather just now dropped. This coat was perfect to wear on this cold and drizzly day and I got a few compliments!" —Torrid Customer

    Get it from Torrid for $125.50 (available in sizes 2X–6X).

    18. Cable knit tech-friendly mittens with fleece lining for the fail-proof accessory you'll need the next time you're attempting to record a TikTok dance in your yard.

    19. A long-sleeved ribbed sweater dress that, helloooo, checks off all the boxes when it comes to the perfect wintry piece. Asking for a friend: Could it get any better than a warm, belted dress that feels like a perfectly formed hug around your entire bod? Whether you're feeling sophisticated or casual, this'll do the trick with both sneakers and boots.

    Rebdolls

    Rebdolls is a WOC-owned business that sells all the fashion items your closet could possibly need.

    Promising review: "The perfect dress for a girls night out, date night, or to work. You can dress it up or down." —Brittney B.

    Get it from Rebdolls for $50.67 (originally $72.90; available in sizes M–5X).

    20. A high-neck bodysuit for the perfect foundation layer that will act as your most stylish thermal yet. No more bunching up, tucking in, and re-tucking your tops when you just want a seamless, well-fitted look to go under a blouse, cardigan, or jacket.

    21. A pair of warm and fuzzy black Ugg slippers to complete your at-home winter uniform. Because any other color does not do well with disguising coffee spillages.

    22. Faux leather leggings reviewers say make the perfect Spanx dupe! Because sometimes we want the confidence of Sandy from Grease without having to shell out the big bucks.

    23. A tapered loungewear set that will give you all the comfort of your favorite PJs but with a more put-together look. (So you can actually get away with being seen by eyes other than your pet's!)

    24. faux leather wrap skirt super sophisticated for the stylish darling (you) who could look like a million bucks dressed in a trash bag. This is obviously trendier than that, and is probably more aligned with your impeccable, looks-like-a-million-bucks kinda taste.

    Never Fully Dressed

    Never Fully Dressed is a woman-founded fashion business based in Essex, England.

    26. Square-toe boots soon to be the pièce de résistance of your 2023 wardrobe. Because there's no greater feeling than stepping into the new year with a super trendy, comfortable closet staple that you can wear with literally every single outfit.

    27. The popular pair of high-waisted crossover Aerie leggings for your best-fitting lounge look yet AND a bestseller for a ~buttload~ of reasons. One being that they're so buttery soft, they feel as if you're not wearing a darn thing.

    model wearing the leggings
    Aerie

    TikTok caused these leggings to sell out once, so you might want to ~run~ to grab a pair before it happens again.

    Promising review: "Most comfortable leggings. I love AE because they make short lengths that actually fit me (4' 11"). These leggings are lightweight, super stretchy, and perfect for lounging. I am definitely going to buy a couple more pairs!" —Aerie Customer

    Get it from Aerie for $31.46 (originally $44.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, long, short, and in five colors and patterns).

    28. A high-waisted flared winter skirt with pockets, because you'll allow a break from your monochromatic palette when it comes to a great plaid. Plus, you won't have to forfeit your great style in this even when the temperature reads freezing-degrees Fahrenheit.

    29. A pair of mid-rise Levi's skinny jeans, because it might finally be time to retire that washed out, ill-fitting pair that are no longer serving you and just taking up precious real estate in your Ikea dresser drawer.

    30. A deliciously fuzzy fitted long sleeve for a fluffy twist on a basic that's trés chic (just peep those faux pearls!). File this under: Cozy, comfy all-day top that'll look gorgeous on back-to-back video calls.

    31. Over-the-knee boots made of smooth and stretchy faux suede to round out your tall-boot collection. Might we be right in thinking you're missing a chunky-heeled pair that slides on as a stylish additional base layer?

    32. A super cozy Jedi quilted cardigan featuring two wide front pockets ample enough to stash mid-workday snacks inside of. Plus, it's a certified ~force~ for days when you want to wear something that's a little more polished than your collegiate sweatshirt that has yesterday's soup spilled on it.

    Smash + Tess

    And make sure you check out the rest of the pieces from this exclusive Star Wars collection!

    Smash + Tess is a Vancouver, Canada-based small business started by a mother-daughter team to create comfy and cute pieces using sustainable materials and local ethical production.

    Get it from Smash + Tess for $120 (available in sizes 3XS–4X and two colors).

    33. A thick knit scarf with rave reviews that confirm its ability to ~infinitely~ shield your neck from the icy winds. The circle design is long enough to be looped a couple of times — that way you can nuzzle into it and pretend that no other, colorful accessories exist.

    34. A Hackwith Design House shirt, a highly-rated top that's built to be worn more than five different ways — and offers the same coverage as a sweater but with a lighter feel. If "adaptability" is your love language, this bb matches that criteria. So if you reeeally think about it — it's like paying less than 30 bucks each for five or six different tops 🤷‍♀️. We don't make the rules.

    Hackwith Design House

    Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms. 

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I have this shirt and I'm *obsessed* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable, and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight, so I'll be wearing it season to season, and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"

    Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
