Some may find January cold and dreary, but that doesn’t mean your outfits have to be. It’s a new year and time to put your best foot forward to set the tone for the next twelve months!
Dressing for the winter months can be laborious. Layering to stay warm leaves you overheating, and bundling yourself in clothes leaves you looking bulky.
It’s important to have a few staple pieces that are practical and trendy to carry you through the winter season.
A pair of faux leather pants or leggings. Switching from jeans to a pair or faux leather pants upgrades the simplest of outfits. They can be paired with a simple sweater, or a blouse; or it can be worn with heels or dressed down with sneakers. Either way, a pair of these is a must.
Sherpa overcoats are another must this winter season. It’s important to pick a Sherpa overcoat that lays flat. Many create a rather bulky look, especially with sweaters and scarfs. Be sure to try before you buy. However Sherpa overcoats are E V E R Y T H I N G this year! Throw it on over your workout outfit for the gym, or over your jeans and booties for lunch. They can fit any occasion as long as they are accessorized right.
Another leading item this year is a black scarf. Be sure to find one that is interesting through texture or pattern. On those bitter windy days, nothing keeps you toasty like a scarf. But be sure it’s not too loud in color, something simple and classy to wear with any ensemble; it should however have some appeal to be unique.
Last but not least! RED! Cherry red is in! Especially in leather. Perhaps a red leather bomber jacket, or an adorable red leather clutch to hold your red lipstick! Either way, red is THE color this season. Be sure to not overdo it, pops of red in an ensemble is perfect.
Stay warm this winter season, and stay stylin!
