The 11-Piece Instagram Winter Capsule Wardrobe
Gone are the days in fashion where a trend is merely a trend, or stylish wardrobe means the same thing across the board. Cities such as Paris, New York, London, Los Angeles, and more have all paved the way in defining their own subsets of style. What’s omnipresent on the runways is no longer necessarily reflected fully in celebrity style, street style, or—the new normal for trendspotting—Instagram—anymore. Though, of course, every once in a while an item just might dominate them all.
Speaking of the latter though…You may be wondering just what is trending on Instagram this winter. Well, quite a bit. In fact, we've come up with a whole capsule wardrobe, solely based around what people are wearing and posting on the ’gram. From not-surprising pieces such as statement coats and hiker boots to slightly less obvious picks including pearl jewelry and designer tights, just keep scrolling to see our edit of Instagram’s most popular winter fashion items and shop them along the way.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
