13 Fashion Person–Approved Outfits That Are Perfect for 50-Degree Weather
Cold weather is on the horizon, and we’re more than ready to pull out the oversize jackets and cozy sweaters. The days ahead promise temperatures that can make dressing while staying comfortable tricky. Some questions that may arise: How many layers are too many? Could I pass without a jacket in this outfit? Your weather app may guide you on the wind currents, but unfortunately, it can't tell you how to dress. As a fashion editor, that's what I'm here for. If you’re also scratching your head over what to wear in 50-degree weather, I've gathered some ideas.
My Instagram Saved folder is chock-full of fashion inspiration, so when it came time to gear up for the colder months, I knew I had to take notes from my favorite fashion people on how to dress for the confusing weather ahead. Below are 13 foolproof outfits to wear for a fall or winter day that’s a bit brisk but not full-on freezing. You'll find plenty of classic coats, trendy puffers, and cool sweaters among the mix of outfits. Plus, shop cool pieces that make layering a cinch.
Printed puffers are a great way to add some personality and fun when it's freezing outside. Why opt for a basic black one?
It's no secret that when the colder months start, plaid is a trend you can't avoid. I love how Kellie paired hers with a classic pair of white sneakers for a casual yet forward look.
When in doubt, go tonal. Aimee does an all-over neutral look so well by pairing a camel sweater with coordinating coat and trousers.
I love leather blazers, but I'm leaning toward adding a leather coat to my wardrobe next. Pair it with your favorite pair of jeans or take notes from Alyssa with funky printed pants.
Leave it to Ganni to make a denim jacket that also provides optimal warmth. Go oversize on your denim jacket to pair with your favorite sweater to keep warm.
When I found out that leather puffers exist, I instantly became obsessed. They add a cooler vibe to the puffers you need to keep warm.
A wool coat paired with trousers and sneakers is a classic outfit that will never go out of style.
I love a good statement coat, as it's an easy way to add a trend-forward piece over your jeans. Plus, it'll undoubtedly keep you warm.
How to leave your bed without feeling like leaving your bed? Add a blanket scarf to your look.
Once you find the right black coat, it makes any outfit look sleek—even if it's your favorite casual jeans.
Layer a sweater and collared shirt under your coat to give your outfit more dimension, and of course, warmth.
Can you ever go wrong with a heavy camel coat? It's a piece that I think you'll keep for years and just always exudes luxury.
If you're not one for puffer jackets, a puffer vest is an easy alternative to layer over your favorite sweaters.
