Unless you’re lucky enough to live in a warm climate, you’re probably struggling to get through winter right about now. All across the U.S., cities are experiencing record low temperatures, with snow and ice abound. If being cold makes you wish it were socially acceptable to wear blankets in public, you’re not alone, but it is indeed possible to stay stylish during the colder months. Check out these tips on how to look chic even if you’re freezing.
Fleece-Lined Tights
Many of winter’s fashions are held back by the idea that wearing skirts and dresses will make your legs get frostbite, or at the very least, make you extremely cold. Thanks to fleece-lined tights, however, you can continue wearing your favorite outfits without sacrificing comfort.
Accessorize Warmly
Wearing accessories can actually serve to keep you warm this time of year. Things like beautiful scarves can be left on all day so as to keep you warmer while accenting an outfit.
Wear Layers, But Not Bulky Ones
Layering clothing is a great way to keep warm while looking on-trend. Choose pieces that fit close to the body so that when you had another layer, you don’t start looking like a snowman. Long sleeve shirts that are close-fitting look great under cardigans, and warm vests van add a lot of warmth as well.
Wear Color
Though this tip doesn’t have much to do with staying warm, another thing to remember in the colder months is to add color to your wardrobe. It’s easy to get stuck in a style rut of wearing neutrals since you want to wear warm boots or thick tights. Make sure to add a pop of color to some outfits so that you don’t get bored wearing the same color palette all the time.
Choose a Unique Coat
Not everyone’s ideal winter coat will be a wool peacoat or puff jacket. To stay looking stylish, though, you may want to choose a coat that comes with a belt to look polished. Long coats will (obviously) keep you warmer, but they don’t have to be black or white to look chic. Pick a color that you love, whether it’s pink, forest green, goldenrod, or anything else, and your confidence will shine through the cold.
