When the weather gets cold, I'm really more focused on simplicity and not having to worry about tons of components in an outfit, so a b&w color palette is golden. I've always liked the pairing of two very different textures like a thick knit with leather, it adds edge to an otherwise kind of frumpy grandma look (though I'm sometimes into that). I also like the illusion of leather skinnies that run into leather boots almost seamlessly. Before fall started I went on an oversized sweater shopping rampage to stock up (it's like the idea of buying canned foods in prep of catastrophe but on a totally minuscule scale), and this and a few others from Zara have been keeping me mighty warm.

We all want to be somebody's one and only, we all want to be warm when it's cold
