Dianne_InStyle's Winter 2025 Collection on LTK

Winter 2025

By Dianne_InStyle

Looks for the chilly winter - what to wear between fall and spring!

Black and tan has always been one of my Fabio color combinations. I think it’s perfect for this time of year because it’s one way to switch up your all-black outfits while adding some contrast. It still has a fall/winter feel, but it just seems a little lighter.

If you want a great Valentine’s Day outfit, the time to shop is now. Right now there are lots of choices available, but as we move closer to the day, it might not be so! (I made sure all the main pieces in my outfits were still available before posting.)

There are so many ways to dress for Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day. I put together more casual type looks and kept them pretty simple, yet traditional. If you want all pink and hearts, I’ve got you covered, If you want it as subtle as possible, just wearing accessories, I’ve got you covered there too! Whether you like these looks or would prefer something different, I still recommend that you shop soon!

Are you shopping the after-Christmas sales for a new puffer coat? I have some ideas for you on how to pick the best one!⁠
⁠
This fall I provided my thoughts on how to pick the best lightweight puffer jacket on stylecaster.com. As you've seen in previous posts, I have a "little coat problem" so it wasn't too hard for me to make recommendations on how to select the best one.⁠
⁠
Here are my thoughts:⁠
⁠
✨️. For me, the most important quality to look for is if it can withstand water. There is water-resistant, water-repellent and waterproof. Opt for water-repellent or waterproof. If it's only water-resistant, water will seep through if the jacket gets really wet.⁠
⁠
✨️ Does it have a removable hood? A hood can add bulk to a jacket on the days you don't need it. But you still want it to be available on the days that you do.⁠
⁠
✨️ I would add a stand-up collar for warmth. With funnel necks being so on-trend this season, it's an easy way to add style and warmth to your look.⁠
⁠
My jacket is sold out but I’ve included some similar options!

As a stylist, I think it's important to shop (or at least window shop) in almost every store. Clients have different needs, styles and especially budgets, so I like to stay up-to-date on the offerings from a variety of stores.

So, for this post, I am focusing on an easy one: @targetstyle. Is there anyone out there who hasn't shopped for clothes at Target? Their pieces are both on-trend, attractive and affordable!

But what they are not, for me, is a one-season option. I purposely put together this outfit to show a blend of something new (the dress) and two pieces that I've had for literally years - my necklace and handbag. Both have stood the test of time and I can see me wearing them for quite some time yet.

I see the dress the same way. It's new and on-trend (stripes will be huge this spring) but it's a classic at the same time. So, if you're looking for an easy, go-to outfit, I always recommend checking out Target.

These will be my go-looks this month!

When I think of January, I think of cozy, of course, but I also think of bold and bright colors to keep away the winter blues. The weather may be dreary but our outfits don’t have to be.

As you’ve probably heard, burgundy has been the “it” color of fall and it’s expected to stay that way through spring. It’s a great color and it’s one that almost everyone looks good in. So I’ll be wearing that in a variety of pieces, including with dresses and tall boots.

Black is a winter staple, but I plan to keep it bright by pairing it with jackets with gold accents and adding a bag in a bright color. On the opposite of the spectrum, is there anything prettier than a monochrome winter white outfit? Consider adding a piece in faux fur too.

I’m rounding my looks out with the soft and cozy. I love wearing sweaters in winter in pastel colors, especially this yellow. It says “spring is coming” to me. The same for my fleece pieces. I try to stay away from dark colors and keep it bright and cheery.

I’ve always romanticized sitting around a cozy fire in a ski lodge…even though I don’t ski. But I can still love a great fair isle sweater!

As we move into January, I just love this look. It’s still a little bit festive but it has a cozy feeling as well. There are so many different colors and patterns to pick from that you could wear a new sweater all month long - not that I recommend that!

Are you ready for “Mocha Mousse”?

Mocha Mousse was selected as Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year for its “evocative nature and warmth” as quoted from an article in TIME Magazine.

Selecting the color of the year is not random as TIME explains: “The Pantone Color of the Year program started as a way to engage consumers around how ‘what's taking place in the world is expressed into the silent language of color,’ Pantone Color Institute Vice President Laurie Pressman told TIME. The color chosen is a reflection of the current needs of the world as opposed to a forecast of what’s on trend. With all the political turmoil in the world, Mocha Mousse was picked as a color that reflects the need for harmony.

So, how does that affect your wardrobe? If this is a color that speaks to you, you’re going to find it in lots of different wardrobe pieces. I have found in the past that you will find some pieces initially and as the year goes on, you will find even more. These are some of the “early adopter” pieces I found for myself.

What’s nice about Mocha Mousse is that it’s a color that can be worn all year long. You can wear it now in sweaters, pants and tops or it will blend perfectly with white linen in just a few months.

Here's a little insight into how I shop for myself - and especially after Christmas sales.

In general, I don't ask myself "where would I wear that?' when I am looking to buy something. I know that if I have it and love it, I will figure something out. That said, If nothing comes to mind right away, I will often wait until it goes on sale. That way, I don't feel the pressure to figure it out before I purchase it.

Enter this gorgeous pink sweater from @bostonproperofficial I had been eyeing this all season long. When it went on sale after Christmas, I knew it was heading to my closet. Do I know where I am going to wear it? Not yet, but it's too pretty to not be worn. I'll find a time and place.

There’s nothing like a classic wool coat and coordinating handbag to make an entrance in winter.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good puffer coat and they do keep you warm and dry. But I really love a wool coat, paired with a fun scarf and awesome handbag to make an entrance. It sets the tone for the outfit you have on underneath. A styled coat really is a chic and elegant way to enter a room.

I do have to admit that I have a “little coat and handbag problem”. These are all coats and bags from my closet. I also have to admit that my husband knows my problem and he often is my “dealer” at Christmas time. So, there was a new entry to the collection this holiday. The good news is that it’s still available and listed below!
