7 Cozy Essentials for Your Winter Wardrobe
Choosing winter clothes can be quite a chore because you must prepare for snow, rain, and freezing temperatures and find suitable party outfits for Christmas and New Year parties.
Buying a few key pieces that you can mix and match will make looking fabulous during the chilly season easy. Here are seven examples of winter wardrobe essentials.
Essentials for Your Winter Wardrobe| A Statement Coat
An essential winter wardrobe must be a warm coat or jacket. This winter, find a stunning full-length coat in bold print or eye-catching color to make the ultimate fashion statement. Red is a popular color as it is reminiscent of the festive season. Fake fur, especially leopard print, will always be in fashion – an animal print jacket looks great with skinny jeans and some knee-high boots.
Look for outer garments with a loose fit so that you can wear chunky knits underneath or pile on the layers. Always ensure the shape flatters your figure, as you want to look stylish while keeping cozy.
Essentials for Your Winter Wardrobe| Skirts
If you aren’t a fan of jeans and trousers, why not buy some winter skirts, such as a knit skirt that sits above the knee you can wear them with long suede boots or Victorian-style lace-up ankle boots? Team an A-line denim, plaid, or cord skirt with thick woolly tights and thermal-lined riding boots for a comfy weekend look.
Essentials for Your Winter Wardrobe| Jeans
Jeans are an eternal wardrobe staple and never seem to go out of fashion. The only aspect that differs from season to season is the cut of the jeans or the color.
Skinny jeans or leggings are great for winter because they can neatly tuck into long boots and wellingtons. For added warmth, you can wear some leg warmers or long socks over them.
If you opt for a pair of loose-fitting jeans, you will have sufficient room to wear a pair of tights or thermal leggings underneath when the temperature outside is particularly bitter.
Oversized Sweatshirts
Sloppy, oversized sweatshirts in pastel colors and decorated with university emblems or cartoon characters are always popular leisure clothes. They can look cute with leggings, furry booties or sexy when worn off the shoulder.
Knitted Jumpers
Christmas-themed knitted jumpers will always be fun and fashionable during the festive season. Don’t be afraid of wearing something bright and sparkly – the more garish, the better!
Another classic piece of clothing that will never date is a turtleneck sweater. This top style will keep you warm and can be worn alone or under a cardigan or blazer for a bright, corporate look.
Hats
Keep your head protected from the winter chill with a soft beret or knitted bobble hat. A black beret looks chic on a night out with an ankle-skimming coat belted at the waist and high-heeled boots. During a bleak, white winter, channel the Dr. Zhivago look, and get a faux fur or sheepskin Cossack hat and a hand muff to match.
A Giant Scarf
Oversized scarves are very fashionable this winter. They add a pop of color to any outfit and keep you seriously cozy in freezing conditions as they double as a body wrap. You can also drape them over your head during a snowstorm to keep your hair dry and protect your ears from the freezing wind.
Wrap up and have a wonderful winter!
