Baby, it's cold outside..but that's no reason to look dowdy! Why not balance the cold outside, with a little show of *hotness* from you! ;) So since i had been preparing for my dreaded exams, i came across a word...Oxymoron-- n styling tips for this super crazy Winter seems like one to me...an oxymoron (put on your leggings, a warmer, a sweater, a parka, a pair of gloves n you're done!) But truly devoted fashion people know that you needn't sacrifice your toes to frostbite for style! I know it! ;)
The abundance of cold weather friends like hats, gloves, scarves, boots, bulky sweaters, coats....all put together can look overwhelming if you're not careful! So this winters, instead of forfeiting style for comfort, keep reading these style tips for some practical advice on looking your highly best when the temperatures drop! N let me warn you...these tips are gonna de-frump those layers, extend the lifespan of your clothing, and breathe fresh air into your everyday pieces.
1) Scarves- They are a perfect accessory with pure style and warmth. Grab a bunch of colorful scarves from your nearest store to add a splash of color to the grays outside. Make sure you check the collection at Madame, Kapsons, Vero Moda, UCB and No Exit.
P.S. Check out different ways of tying them around @ http://www.scarves.net/how-to-tie-a-scarf/winter-scarves.
2) Cashmere- A simple cashmere sweater in solid colors is perfect for the freezing cold outside. Check the collection at UCB, French Connection and Vero Moda and invest in one!
P.S. To add that extra statement to this simple clothing, get your cuffs or bracelets out of your summer accessory box and wear them, on top of your sweaters!
3) A fur Vest- Shop for this uber stylish faux fur vest at Calvin Klein stores and pair over a well fitted sweater. They are really warm!
4) The Trench- Invest in a good colorful parka or a peacoat for the 'too cold' days! Buy a waist-length coat to go with a well fitted pair of denims for a chic look and pair with knee length boots, or a thigh-length one which can be paired up with your jeans or your dresses for it will keep you warm without an extra bulk, and for a more dramatic fashion forward look invest in a calf-length coat- it's selling hot this season! Buy one at FCUK, No Exit or Vero Moda.
5) Cardigans- You can find these at any store around in all possible colors. You can pair these with your leggings or jeans with a nice top or sweater inside.
P.S. Dress these up with a sweet brooch on either side or ends to add to that X-factor.
6)Summer Dresses and Turtlenecks- Turtlenecks are a must have for winters as they keep you warm and can extend your summer wardrobe by wearing one underneath.
P.S. Take out those jumpsuits and plaid shirts, wear with a neutral colored turtleneck to stay toasty! ;)
7) Stockings- Ditch those pair of grandma's leggings for a pair of thick opaque stockings- they are perfect to wear with dresses, long sweaters and long coats and keep you warm without compromising on warmth!
8) Waistbelts- Wondering what to do with those unused waistbelts...then take out your favorite one, dress up in your jeans, tee, cardigan and wear it over the cardigan to tone up the style.
9) Polo T-shirts- Dig out those polo shirts you got. They make a perfectly awesome and low-key undershirt for your winter sweaters.
P.S. Don't go overboard with colors in a patterned sweater, make sure your polo and your sweater look balanced, however play with all the colors in the world when either of the two is a black, white or nude! Try it! ;)
10) Gloves- Buy a pair of colored ones and dump those boring grays and blacks! Or even better ditch a pair of gloves for a pair of colorful mittens! Perfect and cute in winters!
11) Hat- Got a hat! Get inspired from Kate winslet who keeps it stylish n warm with that Fedora!
12) Boots- They are a must have for winter season to keep you stylish without the frost bites. Who thought that all the baby tones could look so stylish put together. this one's my favorite...Natalie Portman rocks this dove, pink and gray trio with those knee length boots.
Follow these and more coming to keep you cozy in winters, and ofcourse stylish! xoxo
