Fashion Today: 6 Winter fashion tips for looking good when it’s too cold to deal with
Every year when summer melts into fall, we
admittedly get pretty excited to revamp our wardrobe. Most people love the easy, breezy fashion that comes with warm weather—but
the cool, crisp autumn air just gives them so many options.
However, when fall turns into winter and multiple layers become
mandatory as opposed to an option, we start to run out of cute cold
weather outfits real quick.
We promise: Great style—even during winter’s darkest days—is very possible. Here, a few of our top tips and tricks. And seriously, stay warm out there.
1. Become a layering pro
There is a reason layering is always on-trend in the winter: It’s a massively practical way to dress when it’s really cold. So don’t be afraid to pile on the layers. A turtleneck, under a sweater, under a jacket, under a coat, for instance, will definitely keep you warm. So will a dress or skirt over a pair of pants (much warmer than a pair of tights).
When it’s really, really cold outside, sometimes even the items in your wardrobe that you always depend on (everything from ripped jeans
to cashmere sweaters) no longer cut it. This is when you have to find
creative ways to layer under your clothes that no one will notice. You
can, for instance, throw a pair of tights or sheer stockings under a
pair of ripped jeans or layer a form-fitting sweater over a long-sleeve
T-shirt. Also don’t be afraid to whip out the long johns you normally
reserve for ski trips—sometimes during the winter they’ll come in just
as handy for the walk to work.
2. Let your boots steal the show
Great winter style really boils down to a great pair of boots. Got a great pair of over-the-knee boots? Show them off pairing them with a short dress. Have killer ankle boots you want to make sure the world gets to see? Pair them with cuffed jeans or a dress. And if it’s snowing and you are forced to wear less than fashionable snow boots? Use them as a jumping off point to put together a great new inventive outfit, rather than just throwing them on with just anything.
3. Belt your coats to give them new life
By the middle of winter it’s pretty inevitable that you’re going to
start to feel some fatigue when it comes to putting on your boring old
winter coat day after day. Add new life to your coat simply by belting
it. Cinching your waist
will make it seem almost like you have a brand new coat. The best news
of all: This styling trick will work with just about any coat
style—we’ve even seen some serious fashionistas belt puffer coats!
4. Embrace fur (or faux fur, of course)
There aren’t many redeeming factors about living through really cold weather fashion wise, but it is
the only time during the year that you can wear fur (or faux fur, of
course). So just have fun with it! You can wear fur with just about
anything to give your outfit an instant upgrade. Unvest in a statement
fur topper, throw on a fur vest
or stole over your winter coat, or find cool fur accent pieces like fur
collars or even fur mittens to liven up your winter outfits.
5. Invest in a show-stopping hat
Your first instinct in the winter is to splurge on a pair of boots or
a coat, but we’re here to advise you to also hunt high and low for the
winter hat of your dreams. You’re going to be in that thing for a solid
two months from here on out (not to mention it’ll be the first thing
people will notice about you), so it should be something you love.
6. Experiment with scarves
Scarves can be worn in many more ways than simply wrapped around your neck, and winter is the perfect time to experiment. We love the retro look of a scarf tied around your head (street style star Miroslava Duma is a pro at this), belted on top of a jacket, or even tied in a knot around your shoulders.
