Overall:
Woman’s styles for this winter season have become much more lady-like and classic, from long knee-length pencil skirts to lacy high neck tops. Skin-tight shirts and short skirts are out and classic styles from centuries ago are back in.

Coats:
This season, coats have become more than just a way to keep warm. They have become a fashion statement that far surpasses any other winter-outfit accessory. Long or short, a cute coat is something that every girl must have this winter. Popular in coats right now are big-buttons, plaid and built-in belts. One piece of advice for those venturing out to buy a coat: buy a high quality coat that is very versatile and can go with almost any outfit.

Animal Print:
The most popular look this winter season is animal print. Whether it’s leopard, zebra, tiger or any other wild animal, animal print is a great way to dress funky and release your wild side. From simple cardigans and shirts to dresses and skirts, animal print is sweeping the nation. Also a popular look for jackets and bags, animal print is a great way to jazz-up any outfit.

Handbags:
The absolute must-have accessory that can make or break any outfit is the handbag. This season, the trendiest way to carry must-have items is in a clutch. Small and simple, the clutch is the easy, carefree way to keep track of everything a girl needs when she is out. However, for those women who need more room for their items than a clutch will allow, large bags are definitely still in-style. The popular animal print is also great for handbags and can spice up any dull or slightly boring outfit. Also in this season are bright solid-colored handbags that are also a great asset to any outfit. And don’t forget about vintage handbags, they are also one of the most popular trends in bags this season.
Handbags can be found at most stores.
Prices: $15 and up.

Skirts:
A few years ago, shirt skirts were the way to go. Now, however, being caught wearing a shirt mini-skirt is a definite fashion-don’t. This season, the trend in skirts is to wear high-waisted, long and tight skirts, which are also known as pencil skirts. This skirt is a classy and sophisticated look that goes great on any girl for any occasion. They can be worn with heels to look simple and classy or boots to make a statement. The pencil-skirt is definitely something that every girl should be able find in her closet.
All varieties of boots can be found at any department store, shoe store and most women’s boutiques.

Footwear:
The biggest, most popular style for footwear this season is the boot. Whether they are tall and slouchy or short and simple, boots are the number one must-have look for women’s feet. Tall and slouchy vintage boots look great with jeans, dresses and skirts for any everyday outfit. Sleek black knee-high boots are great for looking hip and sassy for a night on the town. And let’s not forget about the shoe-boot! These ankle-height boots have made a huge comeback this season and can be seen on women everywhere.
