ust 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
color family or
that are
complete
contrasts.

TIPS
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 warmweather 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!
