Coats
A trench is a staple for the winter wardrobe, you may need some thermal layers underneath for those extra cold days! The neutral colors are easy to pair and personally I like the the olive best but most of the cool girls are in black
Trench Coat | UNIQLO US
A long wool coat is a necessity for the unbearably cold days, I like ones that have a belt as I think they give more of a shape because I like to have a more oversized size
LONG BELTED WOOL BLEND COAT
I can always recognize the business people of Rome because they are wearing Navy! Navy colored coats, or suits, etc.
WOOL BLEND OVERSIZED COAT
I see this style jacket being very popular for the younger women out and about on weekend nights
FAUX LEATHER BOMBER JACKET
Bottoms
Yes the wide leg pant continues through the wet season, most millenials recall the soaking wet pant bottoms from middle school and high school, the key here is tailoring. If too long, see about getting the bottoms tailored to a better length, which a...
Drapey Wide Flare Jeans | UNIQLO US
Yes all the cool people are wearing straight leg or wide leg and these are a great year round staple. Plus 100% cotton, love to see it!
Straight Jeans | UNIQLO US
Love these in the Navy color- you can tell a Roman business person by their navy suits and this pair is so comfortable while still appearing professional
Ultra Stretch Active Wide Pants | UNIQLO US
Do you need professional pants but want them to feel like the comfiest pair ever? After working from home for a few years you couldn't pay me to go back to stiff, ironing necessary chinos. For the curvier bodies like mine I love how the wide leg bala...
AirSense Wide Pants | UNIQLO US
I really like Stradivarius jeans, they have stretch but keep their shape well and bounce back after a wash too! These wide leg jeans with dark wash are easy to pair with anything and can be worn out on errands or date night
Straight-fit jeans with pockets - Women's Jeans | Stradivarius United States
Tops
The classic striped sweater has been seen all over Rome this winter!
Knit Cotton Sweater | Striped | UNIQLO US
This style of sweater in all colors is the rage this winter, specifically buttoned up!
Washable Ribbed Knit Cardigan | UNIQLO US
For those of us lucky enough, the markets throughout Rome often have 100% cashmere sweaters (of varying quality of course). They are a staple around here, young to old
Cashmere Sweater | UNIQLO US
My very stylish sister in law just wore a cropped white turtleneck to dinner with the family last night, paired with dark wash, wide leg jeans! She looked fantastic as always!
Souffle Yarn Sweater | High Neck | UNIQLO US
Sweater dress with a slit is THE girls night out outfit (for me, paired with sheertex tights to stay warm and prevent chaffing when we end up having to walk a mile from our parking spot)
High neck knit midi dress - Women's Knitwear | Stradivarius United States
Off The Shoulder Dresses are trendy here, sadly as a member of the large chesty girls group, I have elected not to participate, but it looks so elegant, especially with the hair down!
Off-the-Shoulder Knit Dress
Bell sleeves are back, both for dresses and sweaters!
Rib-Knit Dress
Accessories
I LOVE Sheertex tights, they have them available in the EU as well thankfully because any other tights have rips or runs after 1 use. I have these and polka dot ones to wear under skirts and dresses for the colder season
Classic Sheer Rip-Resist Tights – 4” Waistband
Shoes
Yes the influencers have it right, white sneakers are the default shoes for getting around the city. These have been the most comfortable pair I've owned and leather is much easier to clean than canvas. I highly recommend as a travel shoe too as thes...
Women's RALLY Leather Court Sneakers | FitFlop US
I really like Clarks shoes, but I get my second hand through Poshmark, Vinted, etc. The black ankle boot (heel or no heel, but definitely a bit of a pointed toe) is for the cool girl who has to take the metro to work and walk with her coworkers to lu...
Chamberly Black Boots
