15 Stylish Winter Outfits to Inspire You Now

Sorry to be the bearers of bad news, but winter isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, which means it’s time to break the mold and go beyond your standard all-weather boots, puffer coats and cashmere sweats (swoon). Hibernation is for bears — not your fine-tuned style sensibilities. Got it? We’ve already shown you how to turn up the heat on your winter work outfits, and now we’re setting our sights on your off-duty duds with the help of 15 Instababes who know what’s up when it comes to cold weather dressing. Expect to find winter weather essentials with a RN edge and pro-level layering that are guaranteed to earn you a few nods of acknowledgment from the trendsetting crowd.

1. Bold Blazers FTW: Can’t stop, won’t stop busting out our funkiest essentials once winter’s doom and gloom vibes are out in force. Do like this Instababe and liven up classic jeans and a snuggly turtleneck with a pattern-happy blazer, metallic ankle boots and a furry bag for an afternoon spent boutique hopping or sipping a hot toddy at a cozy corner pub.

2. Puffed Up and Ready to Go: Stop it right now. If you’ve been questioning the virtues of your trusty quilted topper, allow Zina’s sartorial know-how restore your faith in this cozy winter standby. By styling it up off-the-shoulder style to reveal a chic knit, it takes on a totally new (read: street style-approved) ‘tude. Bust this one out come date night, when it’s cold AF but you still want to knock bae’s socks off.

3. Folklore Fabulous: This getup feels straight-up out of a storybook — it’s that good. In lieu of sharp lines and neutral hues, there’s something to be said about bundling up in warm earth tones and separates laced with vintage charm. This is mostly definitely Jane Aldridge’s area of expertise, and we can’t stop staring at her latest #OOTD masterpiece. Everything from her shearling-trimmed suede coat to her floral midi dress and patent leather boots have us swooning hard. The only thing missing? Good company, a roaring fire and piping hot mugs of mulled cider.

4. Pro Layers: She’s done it again. Frigid temps have a tendency to suck the fun out of wintertime dressing, but as Ada demonstrates, it’s nothing a little color intervention can’t fix. Vibrant socks layered over tights give strappy sandals a cool weather makeover, while high shine metallics paired with a snappy striped sweater ensure an everyday ensemble is anything but boring.

5. ’70s Chic: Throwback vibes are still going strong, as this Instababe’s effortless getup demonstrates. A short teddy jacket and fiery red block-heeled ankle boots are a winning combination for all your weekend shenanigans. Just add raw edge denim, a messy topknot and structured bag.

6. A Scene-Stealing Faux Fur Coat: Let’s just stop for a second and bask in this #OOTD’s undeniable glory. Slick shades and a faux fur coat turn up the heat like WHOA on an otherwise ordinary tee-and-jeans combo. Dig it? Us too.

7. Plaid Slip and an Oversized Sweater: Will the slip dress ever get old? We’re going to venture a no — the styling opportunities are just too good to pass up. Here, Mery Seng gives a perfectly plaid option the wintertime treatment with an oversized sweater, studded ankle boots and a snuggly scarf. We definitely don’t hate it. Add this one to your list of cold weather looks to try stat.

8. Shimmery Knit Set: Glitter-flecked knits? Don’t mind if we do! Since leaving the house in your Sunday not-so-best isn’t exactly an option, souped-up sweaters and cashmere trousers are the next best thing. Score a set like Erika Boldrin’s and you’ll be well equipped to kick it all cozy like, whether you’re holdin’ it down at home or schmoozing like a socialite at the bar.

9. Longline Knit and OTK Boots: #slayallday. Equal parts sultry and sophisticated, Paola’s OTK boot, skater skirt and turtleneck uniform is the no-nonsense look you need in your life. Whether you’re hitting up a poetry slam or dishing over matcha lattes with your crew, it’s guaranteed to win you all the style points this season.

10. Urban Après Ski: Even if you’re not hitting the slopes this season, you can still get in on the action by enlisting the help of sporty separates a la Linda Tol. Team black overalls with a chunky rib knit, athletic kicks and a statement puffer jacket for a getup that’s worthy of gold. Don’t even think about heading out the door without a pair of iconic aviators in tow.

11. Blankets, Baby: When all else fails, put a blanket on it. Since the vibrant colors alone likely won’t be able to protect you from the cold, consider throwing a lightweight down jacket underneath (no one has to know!).

12. Leopard Print Coats and Micro Bags: When your lived-in sweater and raw edge jeans start to feel, well, meh, dial ‘em up to an 11 with the help of a leopard print coat and statement mini bag. The combo brings a hint of cool-girl flair to any ensemble, no fuss or effort needed. Now there’s an idea both lazy girls and modern muses can get behind.

13. Western Coatigans and Cropped Flares: This Instababe’s free-wheelin’ ensemble is giving us all the feels.When your go-to puffer is just too much, toss on a cozy coatigan, your snuggliest sweater and brown ankle boots. A saddle bag and round sunnies are key for establishing a laid-back ’70s-inspired look that is so RN.

14. Crocheted Cardigan and Slides: Longline crocheted cardigan? Check. Essential ankle jeans and basic turtleneck duo? Check. It girl-approved slide and a glam Gucci belt? Now you’re talking. Best believe we’ll be replicating this head-to-toe look ASAP. Karen gets us every. Single. Time.

15. Playful Pastels: Sometimes you just need to take a step away from your all-black-errthang routine and embrace bright color. If neon and jewel tones aren’t your speed, take a note out of Anh’s style book and add a pastel pink coat to the mix. The color is subtle, but there’s no way you’ll be flying under the radar with this baby in tow. Send the ladylike vibes into overdrive by teaming it with a gilded arm party and a flirty ruffle-trimmed blouse.

No matter what kind of day you're having, Marissa Cooper's having a worse one. Mischa Barton's The O.C. character went through the ringer during the first three seasons of the teen drama (remember how she overdosed in Tijuana...and also saw her parents post-hookup after their divorce?).

And during her time on The O.C., Mischa Barton struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. She was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and eventually received involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in 2009 after allegedly threatening to end her own life. And in a new interview, Peter Gallagher (who played Sandy Cohen on the show) says he's "just so grateful" for "the fact that she’s still alive."

  • Mischa Barton starred alongside Peter Gallagher in The O.C. from 2003-2006.
  • The actress has revealed the "trauma" of being a star at that point in her life.
  • Peter recently opened up about how he's thankful "she’s still alive."

The O.C. follows Ryan Atwood, who moves in with the Cohens after getting kicked out of his mom's house, and starts a relationship with Marissa shortly after. While Peter Gallagher played Adam Brody's TV dad instead of Mischa's, Sandy was a definitely father figure for Marissa, and it seems like Peter felt that same responsibility off camera.

"I’ve always felt very protective of her," Peter told The Independent. "First fame is toxic. First fame can kill you. She was 16 years old when she started working with us, so just the fact that she’s still alive, I’m just so grateful."

“You can go to therapy every day for the rest of your life,” Mischa said in a 2023 interview with The Sunday Times. “There’s just a certain amount of trauma [from] all that I went through, particularly in my early twenties, that just doesn’t go away overnight.”

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage revealed that season 1 overdose not only served as a cliffhanger, but gave “network executives an escape hatch on a performer they had been wary about” (via People). But Mischa Barton got her big break, becoming "how people knew the show," and (thankfully) Marissa recovered — only to die after a car crash in season 3.

As hard as that season 3 ending is to watch, Mischa did have the opportunity to watch it with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke for the first time on their rewatch podcast. "It needed to be a thing, after everything she's been through, but if it's here I'll watch it with you," Mischa says.

"I couldn't do it, Mischa, I couldn't do it," Rachel adds. "But I'm going to do it if you're going to do it."

Mischa says even though being written off the show "was a little bit of a bummer," it wasn't necessarily a surprise. "The character was just doing too much," she told Vanity Fairin 2023. "And I think they ran out of places for her to go. It was not the best thing in the world, [but] there wasn’t much you could do at that point. It was whether she could sail off into the sunset, or die. At that point, I guess it’s better to have the more dramatic ending.”

Former Disney Channel star Dylan Sprouse and model Barbara Palvin are certainly living the sweet life after tying the knot in Palvin's native Hungary. The couple, who have been together for nearly five years, have always been pretty low-key — except for the occasional and undeniably adorable Instagram post (and a stunning wedding!). We are simply ~obsessed~ with this celebrity couple, especially after they pulled out all the stops for their couple's Halloween costume. Keep scrolling to see some of their best moments :').

For Halloween Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin stunned as the Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Dylan wore a mask and a black cape, while Barbara wore a beautiful white dress. While the costume is obviously a nod to the musical, it also totally reminds us of their day as bride and groom.

"In Sleep He Sang to Me," Barbara said in a post, quoting the musical's titular number. "@dylansprouse my forever Phantom."

Who did Dylan Sprouse marry?

On the couple's wedding day (July 15, 2023), Barbara wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown to celebrate her Hungarian nuptials, bringing together their nearest and dearest for an intimate(-ish) celebration. Barbara and Dylan tied the knot on her parent's property, which conveniently doubles as an event venue, with plans to host an larger wedding in California in the fall.

"This past weekend was supposed to be an intimate event, but we ended up having 115 guests in the end because there are a lot of people we care about, and we wanted them all to be there," Barbara told Vogue.

When did Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin get engaged?

Barbara Palvin on Instagram: "♥️"

After months of speculation surrounding the couple's engagement, Dylan and Barbara confirmed their engagement in conversation with Sprouse's twin brother, actor Cole Sprouse, for V Magazine in June, sharing that they got engaged last September.

"We didn't necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement," Dylan said. "What we wanted to do with Stephen [Gan, V editor-in-chief] and the V team is make something that was kind of tongue-in-cheek about the nature of private versus public. We're playing with the idea of perception."

Barbara noted that the lovebirds wanted to announce the news "on our time," adding, "When some people leaked the information that we got engaged, our PR team was like, 'Hey, so you guys should do maybe a post about it or talk to this magazine or talk to that magazine…' That really annoyed me because I knew we were building this story up. So, I'm very happy that we ended up doing it our way."

According to People, the couple met back in 2017 after a party when the Suite Life On Deck star slid into the model’s DMs (and as they say, the rest is history). The duo made their relationship Instagram official back in 2018 with Barbara’s sweet birthday tribute for Dylan’s 26th birthday.

Let’s be real here for a second though, we all knew they were endgame the minute Dylan went above and beyond to support Barbara at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show that same year (remember this viral video?). Three days after the fashion show, the Hungarian model told Vogue Australia that she hadn’t had a boyfriend in six years, but had now found “the perfect guy” in Dylan (we aren’t crying, you are).

How old are Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse?

Barbara Palvin was born on October 8, 1993, making her 31 years old. Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, meaning he's 32 years old. So there's only a one-year age gap between them!
