1. The oversized coat – a statement and comfort in one
Few garments symbolize winter as much as the coat. In 2025, it makes a clear statement: large, flowing, and full of personality. The oversized trend remains, but it will be more sophisticated.
Oversized coats in classic wool fabrics – such as camel, anthracite, or navy – look elegant and effortless at the same time. For the more daring, there are models in checked patterns or textured fabrics like bouclé and tweed.
New this season are functional hybrid coats that combine elegance and outdoor performance: water-repellent, windproof, and often with recycled lining. They are perfect for our mobile everyday lives, where we switch between working from home, going to a café, and taking a walk in the park.
Styling tip: Wear a chunky knit sweater underneath, paired with wide-legged suit trousers or elegant wool leggings and chunky boots. A belt at the waist accentuates the silhouette and harmoniously breaks up the oversized look.
2. Knitting love: Chunky knit, cuddly, natural
When temperatures drop, knitwear becomes our second skin. But by 2025, it's all about texture and quality.
Chunky knit sweaters with a handcrafted look are taking center stage, especially in light, natural tones like ecru, sand, or sage. Brands are increasingly focusing on sustainable fibers: recycled wool, organic cotton, or vegan cashmere.
Trending colors: Besides the classics gray and cream, soft pastel shades like misty pink, ice blue, and lilac gray are in demand. They bring lightness to winter and can be wonderfully combined with dark tones.
Fashion meets minimalism: The classic roll neck is making a comeback – clean, high-quality and ideal for layering under blazers or coats.
Styling tip: Combine a chunky knit sweater with flowing satin or wool trousers – the contrast between texture and sheen creates visual interest. For a street style look: Oversized sweater + midi skirt + chunky boots.
3. Function meets fashion – winter boots with grip
By 2025, shoes will no longer be just about looks, but about genuine everyday practicality. Chunky boots, hiking boots, and lined Chelsea boots with distinctive lug soles will dominate. The motto: warm, weatherproof, and stylish nonetheless.
New materials such as vegan leather, recycled nylon, and waterproof bio-membranes ensure sustainability without compromise. Colors like off-white, cognac, or black remain timeless, while accents in metallic or colored finishes (e.g., burgundy or khaki) make a statement.
Trend 2025: The return of the moon boot – but in a minimalist, modern form. Perfect for snowy cities or alpine weekends.
Styling tip: Combine chunky boots with elegant pieces – such as a midi skirt or wool coat – for an exciting mix of materials. And: Make sure to take good care of them with waterproofing spray so your shoes look great even after several winters.
4. Accessories: Layering is everything
Accessories in 2025 are no longer an afterthought, but a key style element. The trend is towards voluminous, cozy scarves that could almost pass for blankets. XXL scarves made of alpaca or recycled cashmere look luxurious and are also incredibly practical.
Beanies, headbands, and gloves are also available in softer, higher-quality materials. Matching sets – hat, scarf, and gloves in the same color for a clean look – are especially popular.
Colors: Soft beige, moss green, and cinnamon red dominate. Those who love contrasts can opt for bright orange or deep petrol as a statement color.
Styling tip: Experiment with layering! A thin silk scarf under a chunky wool scarf, or different shades of the same color family, create depth in your look. Accessories are also an easy way to elevate a basic outfit.
