Cozy season is in full swing, which means it might be time to update your winter wardrobe. For some, this could involve an entire overhaul — taking to resale sites like Poshmark and The RealReal to offload items you no longer need or wear — and swapping in newer selections that are more reflective of your personal style this season. Others, meanwhile, may consider keeping their winter closet intact while splurging on a couple investment pieces they've been eyeing all year long.

For winter 2022, POPSUGAR fashion editors are prioritizing outerwear that feels luxe and on trend while still providing all the functionality (and warmth!) you need. As for everyday basics, we're on the hunt for practical favorites — like beanies and blazers — that offer longevity. The main goal? To curate a selection of cold-weather style staples you can wear over and over again, well into the new year and even the spring season.

From an updated version of the classic puffer coat by Selkie to metallic over-the-knee boots by Brother Vellies, the list ahead features some of our most beloved fashion picks that can work for any occasion on your calendar this winter. Whether you're going into full-fledged hibernation mode for most of December and January or you're planning to hit the holiday party circuit, these items will help you make the most of this festive yet frigid time of year.

Keep scrolling for your full winter 2022 fashion shopping list, in addition to insights from team POPSUGAR detailing what makes each item an absolute must have.

Selkie The Ivory Marshmallow Puffer

Selkie The Ivory Marshmallow Puffer

Selkie The Ivory Marshmallow Puffer ($295)

"Just because it's winter doesn't mean you have to sacrifice glamour — and no item embodies this philosophy more than Selkie's marshmallow puffer. The bows, placed in the center of each arm, give a functional jacket the most romantic touch. It will pair nicely with all my gowns for holiday galas — and of course, with all of Selkie's dreamy dresses." — JA

Valentino Garavani Vlogo Plaque Platform Pumps

Valentino Garavani Vlogo Plaque Platform Pumps

Valentino Garavani Vlogo Plaque Platform Pumps ($908)

"Yes, the Valentino platforms are super viral this year, but this It item is actually worth the hype. I tend to buy my big designer shoe purchases from Italist, as they're usually more affordable than regular retail. Plus, the site is offering up to 60 percent off select items, so I'll be picking up the pink style as well.

While most of its inventory is already marked down, the sale will focus on fall 2022-2023 items especially. Meaning it's the perfect time to scoop up not only Valentino's ubiquitous pumps but also Gucci's go-with-anything loafers and Paris Texas's famous boots. And for the latter, you can enjoy 50 percent savings even before markdowns." — JA

Cult Gaia Joey Top

Cult Gaia Joey Top

Cult Gaia Joey Top ($498)

"There are plenty of fun holiday fashion trends to go around this season — sequins, cutouts, rosettes — but I'm partial to feathers. There's something so festive and playful about plumage adorning the bottom of your pants or the toe of your favorite pumps. This top is a bold iteration of the look and can be styled with everything from denim to wide-leg trousers. I also just love that it boasts a halter neckline, which feels 2000s to me in the very best way." — JA

Hanifa Lorin Contour Knit Gown

Hanifa Lorin Contour Knit Gown

Hanifa Lorin Contour Knit Gown ($399)

"Hanifa is one of the most exciting designers on the New York Fashion Week calendar right now, and her fall 2022 collection was full of covetable pieces. One of the standout looks was an elegant black gown with cream and chartreuse lines along the sides of the dress to really complement your curves. On top of that, the dress features a surprising side cutout that adds some personality and intrigue — as well as a sultry side slit. Though the design flourishes are on trend, the simple silhouette makes it feel timeless. I'll be wearing this for date night again and again." — JA

Ganni Jozey Jeans

Ganni Jozey Jeans

Ganni Jozey Jeans ($325)

"My friends will tell you: I'm not someone who lives in jeans. The style has to be really special to pull me away from my beloved dresses. But when I spotted these Jozey jeans from Ganni, I was immediately hooked. They're low-rise and wide-leg (aka Gen Z approved), and they look so cool with all my crop tops and bodysuits. What's more, Ganni's responsible denim range is made from 100 percent certified organic cotton, with transparency and traceability across stages one through four of the supply chain." — JA

Away Carry-On Luggage

Away The Carry-On in Petal ($295)

"Traveling is one of my favorite hobbies, especially during the winter, so I can't say enough great things about this Away carry-on luggage. It comes with a USB port so you can charge your phone on the go. It even has an interior compression system so you can overpack freely — what more could you want?" — JA

Autumn Adeigbo Liana Bralette

Autumn Adeigbo Liana Bralette ($395)

"Autumn Adeigbo has crafted the most on-point bralette, cardigan, and skirt set for fall, complete with embroidered butterflies that completely fit in with the Y2K aesthetic. I recently got two small butterfly tattoos on my fingers, so I'm trying to echo the print throughout my wardrobe." — SW

Brother Vellies Allora Over-the-Knee Metallic Pointed Toe Boot
nordstrom.com

Brother Vellies Allora Over-the-Knee Metallic Pointed Toe Boot

Brother Vellies Allora Over-the-Knee Metallic Pointed Toe Boot ($1,595)

"While these metallic thigh-high boots are snake print, the texture is subtle, and the overall shimmer effect feels festive for the holidays and New Year's Eve. As soon as they're mine, I'm styling them with an oversize button-down worn as a dress." — SW

Meshki Isla Pu Trench

Meshki Isla Pu Trench

Meshki Isla Pu Trench ($125)

"The runways have determined that the new coat of the moment is a trench, but having never worn one before, I'd like to start out with something affordable and versatile. While I tend toward sportier, shorter silhouettes, I'm looking forward to adding length to my looks with a longer skirt or dress and a sharp pair of boots." — SW

Marshall Columbia Mini Moonflower Purse

Marshall Columbia Mini Moonflower Purse

Marshall Columbia Mini Moonflower Purse ($440)

"I am completely enamored by Marshall Columbia's mini Moonflower plush shoulder bag and especially love the signature charm emblem it comes with. Since the shape of the purse feels relatively kitschy, I'm going for a simple look with this statement piece — perhaps a T-shirt and jeans — and opting for the black colorway, though there are plenty of other fun options." — SW

A&F Ultra Long Diamond Quilted Sherpa-Lined Puffer

A&F Ultra Long Diamond Quilted Sherpa-Lined Puffer ($176, originally $220)

"Although I generally loathe wintertime because I'm one of those people who gets cold so easily, the one part about the season that I like is taking my outerwear collection for a spin. I love thrifting for vintage shearling and leather jackets in particular, but if you're looking for a new buy, I'm eyeing this sherpa-lined puffer from A&F. I usually need longer silhouettes to keep my entire body warm, and this one fits the bill. Plus, it's machine washable, so you don't have to worry about taking it to the dry cleaners." — MR

Canada Goose Arctic Disc Rib Toque

Canada Goose Arctic Disc Rib Toque

Canada Goose Arctic Disc Rib Toque ($225)

"Speaking of always getting cold easily, covering my head and ears is a nonnegotiable when the temperatures dip below freezing. I'm a fan of Canada Goose for all sorts of winterwear — from parkas to pullovers — and this beanie is no different. It's super roomy, so my head doesn't feel squeezed in it, and there are plenty of hues to choose from. This limestone shade works like a neutral, but it's a bit more unexpected than your typical gray or black." — MR

Offline By Aerie Mini Houndstooth Drawcord Legging

Offline By Aerie Mini Houndstooth Drawcord Legging ($36, originally $60)

"Not gonna lie, I live in leggings and joggers most of the time. What can I say? I may be a fashion editor, but I need to be comfortable no matter what. Offline By Aerie has some of my favorite leggings on the market right now — they are so cozy and never lose their shape. This style is a go-to because of the handy adjustable drawstring and front pockets. I can easily take them from the gym to the grocery store to brunch with friends." — MR

Homage Ova Manifestation Bag

Homage Ova Manifestation Bag

Homage Ova Manifestation Bag ($375)

"This super-structured bag went viral for a reason: its one-of-a-kind shape is an instant conversation starter, and the bright colorways always add a little visual interest to your look. I'm especially into this avocado-green shade, which creates a striking contrast with my otherwise neutral winter wardrobe." — MR

Find Me Now Ross Mesh Top

Find Me Now Ross Mesh Top

Find Me Now Ross Mesh Top ($82)

"I'm constantly reaching for my Find Me Now pieces, most of which are made with soft, stretchy fabrics in the cutest patterns. A little more interesting than a plain turtleneck, the embroidered Ross Mesh Top comes in multiple colors and makes for the perfect layering piece. All products from the brand are also ethically sourced and produced in China, while designed in NYC." — YK

The Arrivals A. Simple Puffer

The Arrivals A. Simple Puffer

The Arrivals A. Simple Puffer ($382, originally $545)

"New York winters certainly call for a warm puffer, and this one from The Arrivals x Simple capsule collection looks incredibly cozy — it's made of eco-down, high-density fill — and doesn't resemble a sleeping bag. I love this mustard-yellow shade that'll pop among my usual dark (mostly black) cold-weather wardrobe." — YK

Staud Ashley Vegan Leather Trench Coat

Staud Ashley Vegan Leather Trench Coat

Staud Ashley Vegan Leather Trench Coat ($550)

"After seeing leather trench coats all throughout Fashion Month, I've been on the hunt for one of my own. With a sleek silhouette and flattering tie waist, this vegan leather one from Staud fits the bill. I know it'll give any outfit — whether casual or glam — a cool, chic finish." — YK

Covry Capella Navy Sunglasses

Covry Capella Navy Sunglasses

Covry Capella Navy Sunglasses ($145)

"I realize sunglasses aren't at the top of most winter shopping lists, but I'm the type of person who wears them year-round. (The sun's rays are still very strong in cold weather!) I'm eyeing Covry's Capella Navy Sunglasses this season — I'm a huge fan of the APIA-owned brand, which makes inclusive eyewear, particularly for low-bridge noses common among Asian faces." — YK

Favorite Daughter The Break-Up Blazer

Favorite Daughter The Break-Up Blazer

Favorite Daughter The Break-Up Blazer ($298)

"I've heard amazing things about Favorite Daughter's blazers, and this pinstripe one is just what I'm looking for in a blazer. I'm very into the continued influence of menswear and constantly looking for oversize fits and boxy silhouettes that will work for my smaller frame." — YK
