There’s a plethora of trends to explore this winter, from the bold to the more understated. For those looking to mix up their usual go-tos with statement pieces, you’re in luck—metallics, sensually sheer styles and shocks of red are all in this season. As someone who’s not usually too distracted by trends, especially in the cold months, I was pleased to see that a lot of classics have come back as certified runway favourites; a great counter-balance to the more extravagant looks. Elevated basics that embrace the “quiet-luxury” aesthetic and timeless shoe styles like knee-high boots and loafers are just some of the pieces that are popping up more and more on my Instagram feed.
