As the cold season approaches, Cypress High School students were asked for their “must have items” for their winter outfits. Influencers and trendsetters have become the center of attention, shaping teenagers’ wardrobes while leaving a lasting impression on fashion trends.
Everyone has their own must have item in their wardrobes for winter. These consist of a wide range of items including skirts paired with knee high boots, warm and puffy jackets, cardigans, trench coats, scarfs, and more. All these staples are essential for the winter season as they keep you warm while adding a touch of uniqueness.
Jude De Leon, a senior at Cypress High School said, “ I thrifted this vintage Ralph Lauren half trench coat which is khaki colored, which is my winter essential this year.” Recently, trench coats have come back in style with their chic, mature, and classy look. Many people pair their trench coats with trousers, jeans, a dress, and skirts with a simple top underneath.
Puffer jackets have become increasingly popular and have remained consistent with their practicality. Mr. Payne, an English teacher at Cypress High School said “My winter staple this year is this puffer jacket from Costco that my wife gifted me. I wasn’t too sure about it at first but after wearing it for the first time, I received three compliments on it. It’s super comfortable so this is a must-have for the cold season.”
Regarding accessories, Patrick Cheung, a senior at Cypress High School said, “Some nice warm socks are always nice to have in my wardrobe.” During winter many people wear fuzzy socks, knee length socks, fleece lined socks, or cable knit socks mainly for their thickness.
Joie Do, a senior at Cypress High School said, “ I like wearing fleece lined tights under my pants to keep me warm.” Wearing fleece lined pants can be paired with even skirts to create an illusion while the fleece lined texture keeps one warm while maintaining its style.
Gabby Duran, a senior at Cypress High School said, “I really like pairing my winter outfits with scarfs to make my outfit cuter.” Lately, scarves have made a big comeback on social media. Many influences include big chunky scarves in their winter outfits to add a warm but stylish accessory to their outfits.
Investing in classic winter staples not only offers warmth but also adds a classic signature to the winter season. These pieces are more than comfort; they are the perfect blend of personal style and functionality everyone needs.
