Staying warm in style
The frigid temperatures and icy blasts of winter wind can make it difficult to focus on staying both stylish and practical. While wrapping yourself in a thick woollen blanket before walking outdoors might sound like an ideal way to face the cold, it certainly isn’t an attractive way to attack the weather. Instead of bundling up like a walking sleeping bag, consider carefully planning your winter wardrobe. With just a bit of care and attention to detail, you can easily create your own stylish approach to staying warm this season.
First of all, be sure to take care when dressing to layer all of your warmest options. For example, if you are wearing trousers, then layer a pair of long underwear underneath them for adding warmth. If you are sporting a skirt, then pair it with a woollen pair of tights. When layering this way, be sure to always choose the warmest yet thinnest fabrics possible, as this will ensure that you stay warm without creating a bulky figure.
Next, invest in coat that is both stylish and warm. Classic pea coats for women and men never go out of style; additionally, thick versions of these coats should be readily available at most fashion retailers. For maximum warmth, choose a double breasted coat that is long enough to cover your bottom when walking. A detachable hood is also an ideal detail to have in a coat, as the hood can aid in adding warmth but can be taken off for a more formal style as well.
Finally, finish off every winter outfit with stylish accessories. A complementary scarf is a staple for any cold weather wardrobe, and a classy hat that covers the ears can provide warmth and style also. Choose a pair of gloves that are lined with a warm material on the inside but a sleek (like leather) material on the outside; again, such accessories will keep you warm without causing you to appear overly bulky or tacky.
