Whether you’re a fan of winter dressing or not, the cold season’s inevitable arrival brings with it a set of wardrobe challenges we’re all familiar with. For most of us, that means trying to stay warm while still expressing a personal sense of style – with a few trend pieces thrown in for fun, perhaps.
As far as the fashion set are concerned, the arrival of winter means embracing cosy staples that add impact – be it with an unexpected silhouette or texture (…or both).
Plus, investing in the right seasonal pieces can set your winter wardrobe up for years to come. And while the Autumn/Winter ‘26 collections are still yet to arrive in the new year, we’re hedging our bets on these fashion insider-loved trends that are sure to last to 2026.
These are the 7 micro trends that fashion girls are wearing this winter and beyond:
1. (Faux) fur details
A fur (effect) coat or jacket will always be a smart bet for winter. And if the likes of Negin Mirsalehi and Devon Lee Carson have taught us anything, it’s that fuzzy trims and details will give a fresh twist to any outfit.

2. The tartan skirt
Call it tartan, call it plaid… whatever side of the Atlantic, checked prints are having a moment. Kilts are a great option teamed with boots – but whatever your silhouette, the key is a ‘midaxi’ silhouette that grazes the ankles.

3. The V-neck sweater
It’s perhaps the most classic piece on this list, but – when layered with basic shirts and T-shirts – the tried-and-tested V-neck knit gives a masculine and cool twist to any look.
