And by Kerry
Winter is especially exciting for southern ladies because we get to dig into the back of the closet, wayyy in the back, and pull out the coats, jackets, and boots we only get to wear a few months of the year (if that long). The outerwear fashion trends of 2022 are so stylish and cozy, no matter the groundhog’s prediction, we’ll be wishing for six more weeks to top outfits with these chic outerwear trends.
Furry & Fuzzy
We continue to lean into all things comfy and soft this season and coats are leading the way. Shearling and sherpa look jackets offer instant glam plus warmth and style. If you’re not ready to commit to a full-length fuzzy coat, grab something with a shearling type lining for a warm hug, while a coat with a furry collar and cuffs will deliver instant style in a more subtle way. Note: All-over winter white is having a dramatic moment in this category.
Puffy Fashion
Warmth partner up in a huge way this winter with the puffer jacket. Featuring stylings right off the ski slopes, the modern puffer jacket is oversized – exaggerated even – proving that you don’t have to suffer for style! The ‘duvet puffs’ this season are stuffed with down and are as cozy as a winter blanket. Choose trendy quilting and bright colors for a statement look.

Oversized Trench
The iconic trench coat is back, but in 2022 this closet staple is oversized and bringing the excitement! Forget basic black, the trench has been reimagined in head-to-toe leather (or faux leather) in brighter, lighter tones. Kelly Green will be a standout shade this year. On the other end of the color spectrum, a more monochromatic herringbone pattern is also a popular choice this winter. Either way, long leather trench coats deliver drama to any look.
