| Winter is here. It is also comfy clothes weather. When it’s too cold to squeeze into your skinny jeans and thin sweater, leggings and oversized cape sweaters are some of the best and most comfortable alternatives. Whether you’re at school, work or just hanging out on the weekend, this season’s styles allow you to do it all in comfort. Even though there are the legging haters who say that “leggings aren’t pants,” they are just, well… haters! These comfy, stretchy pants are being shown more and more in fashion company look-books as well as on the legs of some of our favorite celebrities like supermodels Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. With the right sweater, scarf and booties combination, leggings are the most versatile piece of clothing you can have in your closet this season. Another hot item this season is an oversized cape sweater. In an array of patterns, sizes, colors and materials, this sweater can double as a thin extra layer on a cold day or even as a jacket on these too often warm “fall” days. Similar to the ease that summertime dresses provide, cape sweaters are just as easy to throw on to complete an outfit with limited effort and time, while still looking cute and feeling comfortable. Besides the necessary snow boots, the bootie has cemented itself as this season’s hottest shoe. While tall leather boots are easy to slip on and wear with just about any outfit, the bootie gives you so many more possibilities to add flair to your outfit. Booties come in endless styles; heeled, flat, studded or with buckles. This shorter shoe won’t cut your pants of at a weird spot like some taller ones do, giving you extra leg room to show off your stylishly ripped black jeans, if you so choose. Another plus to these fall to winter pieces is they will keep you comfortable, warm and cozy even on the days where you eat too many of those office cupcakes or feel like taking a nap after a long day at work or during your month long winter break from college. |
