Whilst the days might be getting longer and those hazy warm nights seem tantalisingly close, it's easy to forget that we are *technically* still in winter. By now we are all surely sick of the same old jeans and tired jumper situation and staying warm and looking stylish can be a challenge, especially during the colder months. However, with a little bit of planning and creativity, it's possible to achieve both
1. Layering is key
Layering is essential for staying warm in cold weather, and it can also help you look stylish. Start with a base layer, such as a thermal top or leggings, and then add a cosy knit jumper or cardigan over the top. Finish off with a jacket or coat. Play with textures and fabrics to add interest to your outfit.
2. Choose warm fabrics
When it comes to staying warm, the fabric of your clothes is just as important as the layers. Look for warm, cosy fabrics like wool, cashmere, and fleece. These materials are not only warm, but they also look great and add texture to your outfit. These loungewear pieces come in the softest fleece back jersey to keep you cosy and chic even on the coldest of days.
3. Don't forget your feet
Keeping your feet warm is essential for overall warmth. Opt for boots that are both stylish and practical, such as ankle boots with a warm lining or knee-high boots. A double layer of socks also really helps by trapping warm air between the layers, a lifesaving tip if you're plagued by cold feet.
4. Accessorise with warmth in mind
Accessories can be a great way to add style to your outfit while also keeping you warm. A warm scarf or hat can add a pop of colour to your outfit, while also keeping you cosy. Gloves or mittens are also essential for keeping your hands warm.
5. Experiment with colours and patterns
Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you have to stick to neutral colours. Experiment with bold colours and patterns to add interest to your outfit. A colourful scarf or sweater can brighten up even the dreariest winter day.
6. Invest in a statement coat
A great coat can make all the difference in your winter wardrobe. Look for a coat that not only keeps you warm but also makes a statement. A bold colour or unique pattern can make your coat the focal point of your outfit.
7. Embrace winter accessories
Winter accessories like hats, scarves, and gloves can be stylish as well as practical. Look for accessories with interesting textures or details to add interest to your outfit.
Staying warm and looking stylish during the colder months is possible with some planning and creativity. Focus on layering, choose warm fabrics, don't forget your feet, accessorise with warmth in mind, experiment with colours and patterns, invest in a statement coat, and embrace winter accessories. By following these tips, you can stay warm and stylish all through winter into spring until we *finally* get some much awaited sun.
