Cold weather style tips

What you need to know:

  • A cold-weather wardrobe sometimes requires a little extra effort to look glamorous and a fur vest is a quick way to do that. Not only will it add an extra layer of warmth on the weekend, it sets you apart from the much worn sweater-jacket combo.
  • Turtlenecks are practical layering pieces. Repurpose a summer dress by wearing a turtleneck top under it or wear a slouchy cable knit sweater over jeans and boots for a “boho” look.
  • There’s nothing like a cozy hat to add some personality to your winter look.

Just because the warm weather is just but a memory does not mean your sense of style has to go along with it.

Marry comfort and chic this cold weather season with a few style tricks and some runway inspiration for an effortless look. 

Pile it on

The number one cold weather rule is layering.

Wear two sweaters at a go but avoid chunky knits and opt for tissue-thin styles that layer easily without adding bulk. Keep your picks from looking random by selecting knits in the same colour family or that are complete contrasts. 

Swap your coat for a cape

For a statement piece that’s classy, functional, and fun, nothing beats a cape. Pair it with wide-leg trousers or cigarette pants for an uber chic look. Stand out in a sea of black jackets by opting for vibrant hues like red or raspberry. Add a little sparkle with a statement brooch.

Try a turtleneck

Turtlenecks are practical layering pieces. Repurpose a summer dress by wearing a turtleneck top under it or wear a slouchy cable knit sweater over jeans and boots for a “boho” look.

Turtlenecks also have the added bonus of drawing attention to a statement necklace.

Add a fur vest

A cold-weather wardrobe sometimes requires a little extra effort to look glamorous and a fur vest is a quick way to do that. Not only will it add an extra layer of warmth on the weekend, it sets you apart from the much worn sweater-jacket combo.

Trade up with accessories

There’s nothing like a cozy hat to add some personality to your winter look.

Whether a chunky beanie or a sleek felt fedora, a silk scarf or a studded pair of midi gloves; use these cold weather accessories to add a little edge and style to your look.

Repurpose your summer wardrobe

Don’t ignore your entire warm-weather wardrobe summery dresses can be perfect with wool sweaters, shearling jackets and a great pair of opaque tights or stockings. Slip on a pair of motorcycle boots for a fun fashion forward outfit. 

Have a great week beautiful people and keep warm!
