Baby, it’s cold outside—and when all you want to do is stay wrapped in a cocoon of blankets, finding the motivation to put together a stylish outfit is low. Blame the freezing temps or the post-holiday slump, but if your closet isn’t inspiring you right now, Cosmo's style experts are here to help. We curated several winter outfit ideas (yes, full head-to-toe looks) that we’re eager to shop and wear ourselves this season, all on Amazon.
Shop Amazon’s Winter Fashion Hub
Winter fashion doesn’t have to be drab. In fact, our picks prove that cold-weather style can still be trendy, warm, and affordable, whether you’re channeling après-ski energy or fully embracing cozy hibernation mode. From cable knit sets and bold date-night looks to designer-inspired outerwear, these winter outfit ideas are here to spark some serious style inspo, no matter your aesthetic.
Everything to Weather the Outdoors
First things first: You need all the proper gear to endure that harsh windchill. This long and thick parka jacket features an insulated construction with a durable polyester shell that claims it can handle rain, snow, and wind. We also highly recommend investing in a pair of rain boots for the days where you need something durable, easy to clean, and slush-proof (enter these beauties from Hunter).

Cable Knit Coziness
Cable knit sweaters are a quintessential winter staple that's feels incredibly cozy, yet gives off an "I have my life together" look. Amazon Essentials' cable knit sweater comes in a variety of colors, but we're eyeing this pink to brighten up those gloomy days. For a polished look, loosely tuck it into a pair of dark wash jeans. And don't forget the finishing touch, a thick plaid scarf for extra warmth and coziness.
Aprés-Ski Style
Whether you're actually hitting the slopes or cosplaying for the vibe, Aprés Ski is one of this season's hottest trends. Baleaf 's thermal hiking pants and this turtleneck pullover are great base layers to keep you warm and insulated. Layer up with this cropped puffer featuring thick cuffs to keep cold air out. But the creme de la creme of this look? The faux fur snow boots that blend both style and function this winter. (Your ears will thank you for these cute fluffy ear muffs, too.)
Furry and Fluffy Textures
When it’s *this* cold, all you want is to wear a throw blanket (and have it be socially acceptable). Luckily, cozy pieces can still look polished and luxe. This fuzzy cardigan looks more expensive than it actually is; it's dressy yet perfectly slouchy, so you'll stay warm without looking unkempt. Pair it with these classic trousers that are flowy but maintain a tailored look and this faux fur bucket hat.
Burgundy Date Night
A moody burgundy always makes us feel extra cute, and this this cardigan with gold button details is a dressy option for a night out (with your S.O. or your besties). You can still wear mini skirts and dresses in the winter—all you need is a pair of fleece-lined tights. Style it with a black mini skirt, like this faux leather option, and for an extra oomph, factor these fold-over knee-high boots into the look.
An Off-Shoulder Moment
A pair of classic straight jeans and suede booties are basically a winter uniform, but to zhuzh it up, we're loving this off-the-shoulder sweater, and it comes in plenty of colors. There's plenty of space to accessorize so go all out! Add this set of layered necklaces and these trendy door knock earrings for a dressier, glam moment.

Lazy Snow Day Look
If you can't be bothered to step outside, hibernate in style with chic and cozy loungewear sets make bed rotting feel a little more luxurious. Nothing beats a matching set moment, like this long-sleeve t-shirt and sweat pant set beneath a faux fur robe. To complete the comfy look, stock up on thick, soft socks and furry house slippers, and throw on these blue light glasses while you catch up on your favorite TV shows.
