1. Cozy and Fashionable Coats

An appropriate coat is a key piece in every winter closet. Different regions in Pakistan witness different types of winter seasons ranging from moderate winters to extreme winters, so a good coat can be hugely beneficial. Consider:

Wool Coats: These are great for formal functions and at workplaces and are good to keep warm which is why they are also considered fashionable.

Trench Coats: They provide an effortless touch but can also be layered when it’s colder which adds practicality.

Puffer Jackets: On colder days, wearing puffer jackets is ideal if you plan to go out for a casual gathering.

When you want to play around with your color choices, go to work with the subdued palette of black, beige, or camel, as these are neutral colors that also allow for the addition of bold combinations of maroon or emerald green accents for colors.

2. Chunky Knit Pullovers

A thick woven pullover constitutes a perfect fit for those cold winter nights, and there’s no doubt about that. These versatile pieces can be styled in countless ways - tucked into jeans, layered over dresses, or paired with skirts for a chic look. Choose from the list with caution:
