If
walking outside on that brisk winter day is not difficult enough, finding an
outfit that’s suitable for the occasion is even harder. Winter is the true
testament of a fashionista’s ability to look good, no matter the weather. Sporting
the perfect jacket or having the right pair of boots that look stylish but not
too bulky can be a lot harder than one might think. To mitigate the risk of
being cold or not looking up to snuff, here some tips:
Shearling, coats and parkas galore!
A
head-turning jacket is a necessity in any wardrobe. Dressing up the simplest
outfits with a statement coat is one of the easiest ways to get that killer
outfit. A shearling coat, or simply any coat with a soft, warm interior makes
it easy to keep wearing the summer tops you refuse to put away for the season. According
to Hanna Strub of Corbo Studios, “Having a beautifully tailored coat is an
important investment for any fashionista.” Having a jacket that’s the right
length can transform your workout wear into classy outfit. Throw on a scarf or
some gloves for a pop of colour, and suddenly, your outfit’s a 10. Outwear is
everything, since it’s all you see when walking outside.
Accessorize, accessorize,
accessorize!
Whether
it’s a big scarf wrapped around your neck, or a great bag to finish off your
outfit, accessories should never take a back seat, especially in the winter. A
statement bag atop a simple outfit is the easiest way to take a neutral look to
the next level. To keep warm, throw on a beanie or a chunky scarf for optimal
defect against the cold, winter breeze. Strub also noted, “Adding a pop of
color through your accessories is extremely important when dressing for winter.
It makes every outfit yummy and wonderful”.
Throw those chunky boots to the back
of your closet!
Statement
boots can always elevate an all-black outfit. Erin Zacks from Holt Renfrew
said, “the Alexander Wang Anouck boots are my favorite: they are so easy to
wear with everything especially with the subtle detail on the heel”. Another
big trend this season is velvet! Throw on a pair of velvet booties with any
outfit and it instantly elevates any outfit! Alexandra Toccin from Stylists to
a T says “velvet is a big trend this season and I couldn’t be happier about
it”. Chic simple boots with texture will always elevate any outfit because the
streets are your runway and you must work it!
Everything under!
As
important as the outer pieces are, you want to be prepared to look good when
you step inside and all those layers come off. A knit dress is key for winter.
For those warmer days throw on a lighter knit dress or cozy up with a heavier
knit to keep you nice and warm. Joggers are another big trend this season, it’s
those sweatpants everyone loves and never wants to take off. Hanna Strub said,
“Putting on a pair of joggers with a pair of Filippa K boots and a statement Malene
Birger jacket is my favorite outfit for winter”. How could you go wrong with an
outfit like that?!
Another
winter necessity are cashmere sweaters; they are perfect when layering for any
occasion. Kat Law from TNT said, “my go to look is throwing on an oversized
Acne sweater layered over a long R13 t shirt with booties”. These must have
items will keep you snug as a bug all season long.
Hope
these tips will help you get through this traitorous winter while looking
fabulous. Good luck!
