Winter is here, and if you are just about getting started on planning your winter collection for this year, then you have come to the right place. While most of us tend to focus on stocking up on winter basics like sweaters, jackets and blazers aimlessly, picking the right kind of fabrics are often overlooked. How does it matter you may ask? Well, it does because variety is the spice of life. And if you are someone who values quality fabrics and would love to invest in collecting exclusive winter wear rather than chasing current trends, then make a start this year by picking clothes that you will treasure for years to come.
The best part is that these fabrics are classics, therefore they will never run out of style. Year after year, you will find ample ways to mix and match them with various other outfits to make chic style statements. So without any further ado, we bring you seven must-have winter fabrics in your style closet:
1. Silk
Winter is the time when you can pull out your precious silk pieces to make chic style statements. A silk shirt or top will definitely serve you well, pairing effortlessly with trousers and skirts to add elegance to your everyday style. Such as this navy longline shirt from H&M made with soft silk.
H&M Women Blue Solid Silk Shirt

2. Corduroy
Another reason why we love winter is because we can wear all-time favourite corduroy pants and stay snug. Just like jeans, they are versatile and pair well with various outfits. But if you want to ditch the pants, then pick a trendy corduroy jacket to layer up this winter.
