Four looks to help you refresh your winter style
Although the warmth of summer may be easier to dress for, you can still be stylish in the cold, winter months ahead. As a fashion communication graduate, I have learned how to dress cute and stay warm at the same time. You can wear dresses with pantyhose and a cozy cardigan, and dress-up any sweater with a statement scarf. Don’t be afraid to accessorize and add a pop of colour even in the winter days. Whether you are dressing down for school, or dressing up for work, you can bring fun elements into your wardrobe to create a more fashion-forward look!
Outfit #1: School
When you are getting ready for school, opt for more comfortable clothes! You can pair a plain sweater with ripped jeans to add some style to your wardrobe. Wearing a scarf can be convenient for adjusting to fluctuating classroom temperatures throughout the day. If you are having a bad hair day, going makeup-free, or have dark circles under your eyes, you can add a baseball cap to hide it all.
Outfit #2: Girls’ Night Out
You can get creative when getting dolled-up to see the girls! Lace and faux fur can be a major fashion statement — don’t be afraid to pair different styles of garments together. This black fur vest warms you up when wearing a thin, lace bodysuit. Black jeans are a staple that can be dressed up or dressed down. Typically, people tend to dress in darker colours during winter. If you decide to wear all black, you can add a pop of colour by wearing a pair of orange suede booties.
Outfit #3: Work
Depending on your job, you can get away with different work outfits. Here, I have paired a simple black turtleneck with high waist army green cargo pants. This is more professional attire, perfect for going to the office, or to an interview. Cargo trousers can be tucked into your black booties depending on length, and you can add chandelier earrings to complete the look.
Outfit #4: Date
When you are dressing for a date you want to be comfortable while still letting your personality shine through. You can wear your favourite black dress with pantyhose and spice up your look by adding a cute jean vest and a costume necklace. Pantyhose look great with knee-high snakeskin boots, which may be more comfortable than heels, and will elevate your style!
