An Easy NYFW-Inspired Trick to Refresh Your Winter Outfits

Winter fashion can start to feel repetitive—especially when we’re bundling up in the same coats and layers day after day. But if you’re looking for a simple way to make your outfits feel fresh again, here’s a styling trick straight from New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025 that’s easy to try right now.

The NYFW Detail That Stood Out

One of the standout styling choices on the runways? Popped collars on blazers and coats. Several designers embraced this small but impactful detail to add:

  • Structure – It sharpens your look and enhances the silhouette.

  • Attitude – It gives an effortless, confident touch to your outfit.

  • Functionality – Let’s be honest—anything that adds warmth in Winter is a win!

This styling trick isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s practical too, helping shield against the chilly winds we’re experiencing this season.

How to Try It Yourself

  • Blazers & Coats: Simply pop the collar of your outerwear to give your outfit a more elevated feel.

  • Layering: Try this with a turtleneck or scarf for added dimension.

  • Casual or Dressy: Works just as well with an everyday coat as it does with a structured blazer.

I tried this trick myself, and the difference was instant! It’s such an effortless way to make winter styling more interesting without adding new pieces to your wardrobe.
