Finding stylish outfits for casual moments in winter, whether that's a walk in the park with your friends (and dogs) or a cosy night in at the local pub, can so often fall into a rut that sees us pull on a favourite jumper, a reliable winter coat and well-trodden boots with little change from week to week. Here at ELLE UK, however, we're out to change this as we encourage you to make the most of the cold snap in an all new way by choosing even the most low-key of occasions to be turned into a fashion moment instead. We do need as much help as possible to make it through these chilly starts, after all.
7 Casual Winter Outfits To Wear Now
Here, seven stylish casual outfits to make the most of winter's call for more clothes.
A Sports Jacket And Skirt Casual Winter Outfit Idea
Look back to the Nineties for this outfit formula. Yes, you'll need more layers (and a good pair of tights) if you're planning on spending much time outside but this chic composition of a sports jacket with a slick mini skirt is a careful balance of casual and considered. Stick to ballet shoes to keep things streamlined, too.

A Kilt Casual Winter Outfit Idea
It's no question that the kilt is having its moment in the run right now. So, whether you're just jumping on the train or have been a long-time wearer, consider how you can give it a fresh appeal for casual occasions. A padded jacket adds a contemporary twist, while platform shoes make wearing heels a breeze. These from Alaïa with their Mary-Jane like configuration are, despite appearing vertiginous, a perfect all-day heel. Promise.

A Fancy Coat Casual Winter Outfit Idea
A coat doesn't have to only be an essential in the winter months. Find one that's bright, printed and maybe even sparkly and you've got an outfit centrepiece that can ready a total look in a moment's notice. Savvy shoppers should lean into a statement piece that's lighter than your usual option so you can layer it for now and wear throughout the year to make the most of the investment. Dress it down for casual moments with a simple two-piece backdrop and perhaps a pair of trusty trainers.

Winter accessories don't have to start and stop at hat and scarf. Look beyond the usually prescribed and you'll find the idea of a statement collar a convincing option. Add in a jaunty option to your casual winter uniform and voila instant directional advantage. There's no outfit that this can't instantly upgrade in one simple action.

A Trophy Bag Casual Winter Outfit Idea
A great bag is for life and not just for winter. But, when thoughts run to staying warm over staying stylish, a jaunty It-bag — whether brand new, vintage or rented — can come into its own as something of a sartorial saviour to take all the fashion heat. Add to by playing with texture in a fuzzy jacket and metallic trainers.

A Chic Set Of Knitwear Casual Winter Outfit Idea
There's nothing more enticing than the promise of wrapping up in the finest knitwear in the winter months. Dressing casual can often mean quickly pulling on the denim but a louche pair of wool trousers can be just as easy but with greater polish. Classic accessories, like a mini Louis Vuitton bag and a chick neck scarf, never go out of style.
