Here in the northern hemisphere, winter weather is well on its way — and we couldn’t be more excited! Getting dressed in the winter means lots of layers and lots of style opportunities. To celebrate, we’ve compiled a short list of some of our favorite winter style trends. Read ahead to pick up a few tips on how to style them for your own unique look.
Blanket Statement (Coats!)
This one is a major-win for the eco-fashionistas out there! Coats and jackets made from vintage jackets and quilts are trending in winter style this year. Pair yours with your favorite vintage jeans, dresses and boots!
Game, Set, Match
Matching sets are big this winter and for good reason: they’re the wardrobe staple that keeps on giving. Wear them together for a coordinated look or split them up for double the outfits! Pants sets are the usual, but matching short sets are a super stylish option that have been making a comeback. If you’re feeling chill to the thought of shorts as winter style, warm up to the idea by layering up with a pair of tights!
Frankly, My Shear(ling)…
Shearling-lined jackets are one of the easiest ways to translate your chic self to cozy-comfort. When it comes to styling, denim and suede shearling jackets work well with just about anything in your closet. Pair them with your favorite tee and a slim-cut pair of pants for a casual-cool look, or go all out with a color-coordinated ensemble and eye-catching booties!
Plaid to Be Here
From gingham to glen, tartan to tattersall, there’s no shortage of plaid prints to try. Depending on your winter style mood, dress them up or down with a statement coat and your freshest pair of kicks.
The Vest is Yet to Come!
Waistcoats for winter? We say yes! Vests are another retro trend making a huge comeback, just in time to incorporate them into your winter style. Layer them over a turtleneck, vintage button-down or even a plain white tee!

One of the most interesting things about being a Buyer for Buffalo Exchange is the vast array of clothing & accessory styles that we see come across our buy counter each & every day. From Vintage to Retro, Handmade to Current . . . being able to view these fashions in the flesh is truly awesome & awe-inspiring! As of lately, I’ve noticed that here at Buffalo Exchange, San Antonio certain retro & vintage pieces that we have bought into our store eerily mirror (or seem to greatly influence) much of the new merchandise items that we have been selling. 
Customers Britini and Chris stopped by our San Antonio location this week. We adored their style so much we just had to share!
Contrary to popular belief, fall doesn’t necessarily mean you must layer up and create your very own “humdrum” color palette of dark & deep tones. Now that October is here, it’s time to take some fashion risks & get inspired by all shades that “POP!” and dare to mix & match various patterns.
