Winter fashion finds its unique charm in the interplay of various textures and the art of layering. This season presents a perfect opportunity to re-engage with materials that infuse depth and individuality into your cool-weather attire. Envelop yourself in the plush comfort of cashmere and the tactile appeal of corduroy, or experiment with the sleekness of velvet and the delicate softness of brushed cashmere. Whether these textures are worn individually or combined for striking contrast, they are key to enhancing even the most traditional outfits with contemporary flair.

As we anticipate the spring/summer 2026 collections, the fascination with texture continues to evolve. Designers such as Bottega Veneta with their innovative fiberglass skirts, Fforme's fluid fringes, Proenza Schouler's shimmering jacquards, and Tory Burch's intricately embroidered dresses are enriching their lines. These subtle glints and dynamic movements imbue garments with a sense of modernity and vitality. Below, explore the finest textured pieces available this season to introduce an intriguing tension and artistic contrast to your winter wardrobe.

Cashmere

For those days when ultimate comfort and softness are paramount, nothing compares to cashmere. It represents the pinnacle of luxurious warmth. Consider a vibrant striped cashmere cardigan from The Elder Statesman for a touch of playful color, or opt for Guest in Residence’s argyle knit polo to add a contemporary twist to a timeless design.

Corduroy

Corduroy offers a perfect winter alternative to denim, known for its soft touch and remarkable versatility. Its distinctive ribbed texture introduces a nostalgic element to modern silhouettes. Embrace a classic aesthetic with camel-colored trousers paired with a barn jacket for a rustic charm, or elevate your outer layers with a sumptuous white puffer jacket from Moncler.

Leather

This season, leather receives a contemporary update through innovative colors and cuts, making it instantly desirable. Options range from Fforme’s minimalist black blazer to Frame’s aged flare-leg trousers, and Stouls’s sculptural draped top in burgundy. For a truly standout look, Nour Hammour’s dramatic trench coat is an unparalleled choice.

Cable Knit

The cable knit evokes images of warm beverages and crackling fireplaces in sweater form. For a traditional look, a navy blue sweater from J. Crew is ideal, while Polo Ralph Lauren offers a fresh take with its bomber silhouette. When relaxation calls, Magda Burtrym's cable knit shorts provide a luxurious option for lounging.

Shearling

Shearling effortlessly transforms your winter wardrobe with its cozy, teddy bear-like appeal. Coach's cream shearling jacket offers feminine elegance with its collarless design, while Burberry's cropped aviator jacket provides a hint of edginess with its striking collar.

Velvet

For the holiday season, velvet textures are the definitive answer for festive attire. Whether you choose a monochrome two-piece party set or a richly draped skirt embellished by Dries Van Noten, this fabric offers an inherently elegant choice for evening events.

Suede

Brown suede items, from caramel to rich espresso, are indispensable this autumn. Proenza Schouler's midi skirt pairs beautifully with a crisp white button-down for professional settings, while Staud's longline coat feels perfectly at home with denim and cashmere for casual weekend outings.

Pony Hair

Pony hair, a subtle yet impactful texture, revitalizes familiar styles. This is evident in Co’s brown midi skirt and Nour Hammour’s belted trench. Khaite's leopard print jacket, also featured in our Fall Shopping List in coat form, stands out as a true statement piece.

Explore an array of sophisticated textures—from the comforting softness of cashmere to the distinctive ribbed pattern of corduroy, the luxurious feel of velvet, and the refined appearance of suede. These materials are meticulously chosen to add depth and character to your winter wardrobe. Each item offers a unique blend of warmth and style, perfect for creating memorable ensembles that stand out with elegance and personality throughout the colder months.
