Cold-Weather Fashion Tips to Maximize Style

With winter in full effect, it’s time to get ready for a new era of fashion. Just because the weather has become harsh does not mean that our fashion has too—Taking the time to dress for the weather doesn’t always have to be so blasé. 

TOPS: Hop on the sweater vest train that has TikTok e-boys in a death grip, make sure to grab a pattern that will capture the eye. To compliment the loud pattern on the sweater, make sure to wear a solid color head-to-toe that matches either the trimming of the sweater or your favorite piece of the pattern. 

This creates a cohesive color scheme that brings the eyes around the fit and back onto the sweaters pattern. For chilly days, pair this look with a form-fitting, thermal shirt under the sweater vest that will show off arms and create a sexy conservative look for those extra cold days. 

JEANS: If you are someone that likes to wear solid color sweaters as your daily but hate the frumpiness when paired with sweatpants, what you need is a pair of flare jeans to vibe without sacrifice. 

Comfy hip huggers give you a chance to still show off body while creating the illusion of longer legs, giving your sweater that added boost.

ACCESSORIZE: The best fall/winter accessory is no doubt the scarf, capable of pulling together an outfit or adding a layer of warmth. If you spend most of your days in meetings or in a suit, it would be a great idea to invest in a satin scarf. Cool touch while insulating the heat, the glossy texture and compact nature of the satin scarf can be used to hold back hair, kerchief the neck, or be used as tie, a la Camp philosophy. 

GET KNITTY: Pair knits together with unique patterns, pops of color, and inversions of the color wheel. Pick a palette and then get adventurous with a coat and no shirt, or keep it classy with a dress shirt or turtleneck under tweed. Either will add dimension to the neck and chest area, drawing eyes upwards toward the face.
