I try to avoid making blanket statements in my work, but I think it’s safe to say that no one wears something for the sole purpose of making their outfit look cheap. Assuming we’re on the same page, let’s get on with today’s goal: identify the winter trends our editors think look a little cheap this time of year, and the pieces they’d wear as alternatives.

There’s nothing cheap about Lovisa Barkman’s winter clothing.
However, that doesn’t mean we’re after something budget-friendly – some things may look extremely expensive but cost very little, while another thing may have a huge price tag but somehow, look Very budget. So don’t worry – this isn’t a designer zone. What I personally like to identify is which trends our editors think wouldn’t look chic in the winter, or what they would wear in lieu of something else when they want to look a little more elevated. And, I must say, I agree with them on all counts.
So, which trends might seem a little “cheap” this winter? Keep scrolling to find out.
4 winter fashion trends our editors think look a little cheap
PAUSE: Long Faux Fur Coat
Wearing: Short-hair faux fur coat

“When I say long faux fur, I’m referring to the length of the strands, not the length of the coat itself! Although I own a faux fur coat with a longer pile that I like to wear when I want to look glamorous , but I fell into it having been in the rain before and can look worn out during and after a downpour, and while there’s still that risk with shorter piles, I generally find they look more expensive, even if you’ve worn them a ton ,” said fashion editor Remy Farrell.

PAUSE: Light Blue Jeans
Wearing: Dark indigo jeans

“During the summer, light, acidic blue jeans form the core of my capsule wardrobe. However, in the winter, when the other pieces I wear tend to be richer and darker in tone, I think they can bring out the light. Bright-wash denim looks a little tacky and cheap.

PAUSE: Chenille Knitwear
Wearing: Wool sweater

“Chenille knitwear with its acrylic glossy finish feels dated now and yes, it feels cheap to wear. Instead, I recommend saving your money and investing in knitwear made from more natural materials, such as Wool and cashmere.

Pause: Broken, fragile umbrella
What to wear: Chic umbrella

“Okay, I know this isn’t exactly a trend, but I think the one thing that can make a winter outfit look cheap is a flimsy or even broken umbrella.
