Fashion Trends for Chilly Weather
It’s not unusual for fashion enthusiasts to favour the colder seasons over the warmer ones. It can seem easy to construct a summer look. Having to throw on just one thing, but there’s also nothing to hide behind. In colder periods, however, you have to layer on multiple pieces. Make sure they’re all working together and complementing each other. This can be a tricky task. Let’s take a look at some of the best tips and tricks to make sure you always look well-dressed, even when it’s cold outside.
Layer everything
When temperatures start to slightly rise and you feel like you could get away with just wearing one thick sweater. Consider that large, chunky pieces of clothing can often leave us looking shapeless and without much space to construct a look. A better option is to layer two thinner pieces that work well. When layering, you have to follow a few rules, and it all boils down to the clothing interacting well. Firstly, you want the items to be of different lengths. Having a T-shirt and cardigan the same length can make it look plain and boring. While combining two length makes your outfit interesting and helps you accentuate your figure. You also want to make sure you don’t have any beading or appliques that are sticking out beneath the top piece. Because it will give you bumps in weird places and ruin the overall shape. Also, be careful with thicker straps and odd necklines. If you have something with a closed neckline like a poncho or sweater, you want to make sure that any shirt underneath isn’t showing at all, or that it’s showing with a purpose (like a collar or a turtleneck).
Pick the right footwear
It’s difficult to have one pair of shoes that you wear throughout the whole cold season. You’ll have to adapt and pick the right footwear according to weather conditions and clothing alike. A staple every woman should have are black boots, preferably ankle-high, that will go with virtually any outfit. Additionally, you want to have something sporty, like waterproof sneakers, and something formal. It can get tricky with formal footwear because you need to both get to where you’re going, look great and not freeze. Something like closed pumps or elegant boots can be a great option. Play around with socks that go higher over your boots, stockings and other accessories that you can mix and match to change how your shoes look.
Choose the right accessories
You should always think about accessories from a practical standpoint. If you have to wear a scarf around your neck to protect you from the cold. Could the scarf also be a part of your outfit after you take your coat off? Once you figure out the pieces that can be a part of the outfit, then start thinking externals. A good tip is to buy your gloves and hat together and have them match your go-to coat. So you know you’re always looking good when rushing to leave the house. You should be careful with pointy jewellery, because it can often get caught on gloves and scarves, leaving you with a fashion catastrophe. Remember that during winter, a belt is your best friend. It will help you find the shape of your waist even under a hundred layers.
Remember to keep rotating the clothes in your closet especially, during the transition periods. It can prove difficult to dress through spring and autumn from just winter to summer wardrobe. If you feel like you’re constantly cold, try adding more layers to your ensemble because they will trap heat in between and keep you warm.
