Trench Coat Buttoned to the Top: Vancouver Fashion this Winter

Trench coat buttoned to the top: Vancouver fashion this winter

Walking through Main St., with its cool vintage stores and even cooler people, one might wonder what the ins and outs are this winter. The city’s ever-changing weather is woven into the outfits–a blend of comfort and style. From ballerina slippers to trench coats buttoned to the top, here are some pieces Vancouverites sporting this winter. 

Uggs renaissance 

With the new store opening at McArthur Glenn, Uggs' cozy (and pretty) nature epitomizes Vancouver fashion. One question remains: Are you team classic ultra mini or classic mini?

Plaid EVERYTHING

Plaids for Winter? Groundbreaking. The timeless pattern can be found in every vintage store along Main St.! Try out this beloved print for a casual look, whether plaid pants or a shirt! 

The IT Combo: Knee high boots and stockings

The classic fit has seen a resurgence in recent years. From 2014 Tumblr to 2025 Pinterest, check out the chic yet warm look this cold season with a thermal see-through stocking (a GENIUS invention).  

Bop it, twist it

Maybe it’s the Glinda effect or the need for whimsy, but it’s a bubble-bottom frenzy! Along with bubble skirts and pants, other dreamy pieces that have emerged this season are twisted dresses and skirts, seen on Clairo during her Charm tour! 

Cute-sie nails and chunky jewelry

The rise of the maximalist core in recent years has transcended architecture style and into fashion. Chunky jewelry with a seasonal nail design has become a staple accessory that elevates even the most basic outfits.  

Superpuff for all

Since its release, the Canadian-based brand has become a staple in Vancouverites' closets, and for good reasons: function, fashion, price, and accessibility. The wide variety of styles and colours makes it the leading choice for people of all ages and genders (everyone, really). 

Trenchcoats and ballerina slippers 

Lily-Rose Depp’s outfit is not only a pop culture phenomenon but also a traditional–cool season English look. The trenchcoat, an homage to the traditional Burberry coat, paired with a ballerina slipper, is the perfect clean girl look to emulate in this cold weather. 

Vancouver’s unpredictable winter weather perfectly harmonizes with these versatile styles.  Have you tried any of these pieces this season?
