Going-Out Outfit Ideas That Will Get You Through the Winter Months
No more sacrificing style for warmth.
By 
Half the battle of going out during the winter is putting together an outfit that allows you to combat the cold in style. But with strategic layering, the right materials, and creative styling, there are plenty of ways to curate a look that offers the best of both worlds. With some of your favorite celebrities as proof, sacrificing a chic ensemble for warmth is no longer necessary.
For those who prefer a more low-key approach but want to remain polished, it's all about the accessories—and less is absolutely more. A perfect example, Zendaya's effortlessly chic lingerie outfit makes a strong case for wearing a mini slipdress in the winter. Just add a pair of denier tights and bling-y earrings. If dresses aren't really your thing in winter, consider warm, jewel-toned suiting separates to mark the occasion. (Bonus points if you style them with a coordinating turtleneck to further insulate your look.)
The main takeaway? Regardless of your personal aesthetic, you don't have to choose between comfort and style for a night out with friends or your partner. And more often than not, the main pieces you need are already hanging in your closet—you might just need a few extra additions to complete the look. Ahead, six winter going-out outfit ideas with the key pieces you need to re-create them yourself.

Chic Lingerie
A mini slipdress paired with a leather trench is a foolproof look for a night on the town—combatting chilly temperatures in the process. Finish the outfit with opulent statement earrings.

Leg-Lengthening Boots
A pair of tall leather boots paired with a midi skirt offers just enough coverage to keep you warm when the temperature drops. Plus, when paired together, they create a streamlined look that's chic too.
Square-toe boots are having a huge moment right now, but Gucci's take on the trend is sure to last in your closet for seasons to come.
The Necktie
Every new year makes way for more style risks, and 2021 is no different. Consider adding a posh skinny tie to your well-tailored suit.
Made from the brand's heritage nylon material, Prada's skinny tie is as much a wardrobe icon as it is a statement piece.
Winter White
Trade in your classic white top for a version with artful cutouts or textured designs instead. Follow fashion muse Dua Lipa's lead and pair it with detailed trousers and a baguette bag for your night out.
