With the cold weather settling in, many college students are left with the question of how to bundle up before classes, while also possessing comfort and style. TikTok has allowed us to continually compare ourselves to these seemingly “perfect” influencers, who never seem to show up anywhere looking substandard. However bad this may sound, it has helped plenty of us cultivate better-fashioned versions of ourselves.
Not everyone enjoys covering up their well-thought-out outfits with unordinary items to simply keep themselves warm. To recover from this, there has been an abundance of new and popular winter apparel trending online.
Let us begin with jackets. Not everyone enjoys wearing their middle school, neon pink, and weirdly fitting winter coat, especially in college. The trend of puffer jackets, trench coats, and thick teddy parkas have emerged grandly. One could find these products anywhere. You can look online, or go to a thrift shop. These coats have become somewhat of a statement piece in many people’s outfits, rather than just a sense of coziness. Leather jackets are very much in; they are a very androgynous form of clothing as well. Whether your coat is long or cropped, there can be no backlash from the trend-gods. Furthermore, if you are looking for something other than a fully embodying coat, vests have become a popular substitute. These are usually cropped and puffy. The colors range greatly, and make a great addition to a nice sweater, sweatshirt, or crew neck.

Gloves are not only functional and crucial around this time of the year, but also very fashionable. They are flaunted in all shapes, sizes, and materials. There are leather gloves, knitted gloves, fingerless gloves, as well as mittens. There are many innovative ways to pair gloves with one’s outfit, without sacrificing much fashion sense.

Many influencers have exhibited themselves in combinations of retro and vintage outfits. With the 80s in mind, many have been inspired to wear leg warmers. Not only do they provide warmth, but they can be appealingly added on top of shoes, such as boots or Converse, or over tights, leggings, and jeans. It elevates one’s cold-weather wardrobe heavily. Whether you’re opting for classic cable-knit leg warmers, or experimenting with bolder colors and patterns, TikTok has been the place to discover and test your fashion palette.

With the tips of our ears turning red, and foreheads going numb, the use of hats has always been around to support us in our fashion endeavors. From beanies and berets to bucket hats and fedoras, TikTok has been brimming with hat inspiration for all fall and winter fashion enthusiasts. Experiment with different materials, textures, and colors to match your unique style. You can use oversized beanies for a chic look, or a simple hood attached to your sweatshirt. The key is to mix and match during this time of year, to create a signature look that’s all your own.

Winter doesn’t have to mean sacrificing fashion for warmth; it’s a time to try new accessories. Thanks to apps like TikTok, you can stay cozy and stylish all year round.
Once again, I love how you went through all the different clothing items on this post instead of just giving a broad idea of a whole look; it really paints more of a picture. I’m glad you’re keeping your posts relevant with the season, as well as including all genders in mind in your fashion advice.
Yeah I love how all of your posts sort of go in a chronological order, with your Fall theme post coming before this one. Once again I really liked the run down of everything and how fashionable they are today.
Simple yet stylish. This topic represents a more understated aspect of fashion. Instead of a style, I like the coverage of apparel that TikTok has brought into the mainstream.
