Tis the season to be bundled up, and luckily bold coats and scarves are making a statement in fashion. Bright and pastel colors aren’t only for spring and summer, try to bring color to the gray days of winter. Fur coats are cute but colorful ones are even better. There are also rainy days, so when you aren’t cuddling at home with some hot cocoa, weather proof dressing is a must. To be specific, colorful raincoats are being seen on the runway a lot. Another must-have is an olive-colored parka because they tap- nicely into the military-utility trend. And when in doubt, puffy coats are a classic essential.
What is another thing you find yourself wearing the most in the winter besides hats and gloves? Boots of course! Over-the-knee boots are a staple accessory for the season. They can add an edge to an outfit consisting of a simple top and some skinny jeans, or a pencil skirt ensemble at the office. Ankle boots are also a great addition to your wardrobe, and keep in mind having more than one pair is not a crime.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… for comfy sweaters. A way to effortlessly walk the cool line between dressy and casual is to pair a boxy/cropped cable knit sweater with a delicate, feminine skirt. Turtleneck knit sweaters also made their way back onto The Polar Express of fashion. The warm and comfy layer is easy to throw on with jeans or leggings. Basic knit sweaters are always a go-to when looking for an outfit.
Almost everyone knows what “Throwback Thursday” is, but what they might not know is that a throwback show, or anything pop culture from the past, can be a trendy piece of clothing. For example, graphic tees with a popular cartoon from the 90’s on them are seen in many stores. Also old super hero comics have become a way to add character to a simple outfit.
During the winter, there is one crucial rule: STAY WARM, even if it means ditching your “totally fab” outfit for blankets and a big, puffy jacket.
