Once winter hits, I’m sure that most of you just want to curl up on the sofa and stay snug in front of endless Netflix binges. After all, it’s a lot cozier to enjoy lazy days inside well out of the way of the cold weather! I’m exactly the same, and some days I really wish that I were able to hibernate!
Do you often find that your appetite for fashion goes out the window as soon as winter begins as well? Snap! It can be so cold outside sometimes that it’s all too easy to go for comfort over style and just pull on a large hoody or an old sweater. It may not look great, but it sure does feel great, especially when you have to step outside!
But there is really no reason to shy away from style just because the weather isn’t too great outside. There are plenty of ways to stay fashionable and comfy. You just need to read on and find out my go-to tips for instant winter style!
Take Advantage Of Winter Sales
First of all, it’s a good idea to do a spot of shopping so that you can update your wardrobe for winter! Thankfully, there will be a lot of sales throughout the winter period, especially in the run-up to Christmas and New Year. Don’t forget that Black Friday is almost upon us once again too. This may be a very busy day to go shopping, but it’s worth it just for all the amazing bargains. If you don’t think you’ll be able to stomach the crowds, then you can always simply stay at home and do your Black Friday shopping online.
Go Big With Accessories
Winter is the best time to go over the top with your accessories. Wearing a large chunky knit scarf can keep you nice and warm when you are out and about. Plus, it’s a great way to jazz up an otherwise plain outfit. You might also want to find some a statement gloves and hat set so that you can stay warm and stylish at the same time. Designer handbags also look great with most winter outfits, and they offer an instant injection of sophistication to whatever you are wearing!
Opt For Discreet Jewelry
If you already have some big accessories on, such as scarfs and a bobble hat, then you don’t want to wear statement jewelry at the same time. Your accessories and jewelry will only end up competing for attention! So, it’s best to keep your jewelry discreet. Just some simple ear studs and a plain necklace will do the job. You might want to wear this tennis bracelet as well – check it out! It will really pop if it’s visible on your wrist just above your gloves.
Always Choose Boots
When you need to decide which shoes to wear with an outfit in winter, it is always advisable to go with boots. Boots will always look great with jeans and, depending on their style, they can help you smarten up an outfit or make it look slightly more casual. So, it’s always a good idea to have a smart and casual pair of boots in your wardrobe so that you always have a pair for every scenario! Another benefit of boots is that they should have a good pair of soles on them. And that means there won’t be much chance of you going head over heels if it is ever an icy day!
Go Casual With A New Sweater
When you are shopping in the sales, you should take a look and see if there is a new sweater that catches your eye. A sweater is a staple for any wardrobe and is a great way to create a casual look. You can also guarantee that it is sure to be very comfy! You’ll be able to snuggle up in it no matter where you may be!
Smarten Things Up With A Blazer
If you ever need to smarten up an outfit, you can hardly go wrong with a blazer. This cute top will go well with jeans just as much as it will look fantastic over the top of a fashionable cocktail dress. In fact, blazers are so great, you will be able to wear yours night or day. For instance, you could wear it in the office for work and then keep it on in the evening at the office Christmas party. Of course, if you want a blazer that is best-suited as an evening wear piece, then you will be able to find a lot of glittery ones in the shops.
Be Creative With Layers
Now that it’s a bit chilly outside, you can start to experiment with layering. This gives you the chance to wear a few different t-shirts, tops, and cardigans to ensure that you stay warm and stylish all at once. You can also layer up on your bottom half as well as you can wear some long wooly socks over the bottom of your jeans.
Cover Up With A Coat
We all have days when we wake up and seem to have lost all fashion inspiration. Thankfully, there is one secret weapon that you have to hide under now that it’s cold outside – a big winter coat! As long as you have a stylish coat, you can always hide your basic outfit underneath it. As people will mainly see the coat, they will still think that you’ve put a lot of effort into your outfit even if that really isn’t the case!
Keep Hair Simple
When it comes to your hair, it’s best to keep things simple and leave them down or go for an easy up-do. Don’t try styling them too much. The cold weather will already be having a negative effect on your hair, and an excessive amount of styling products will only add to this. If you really can’t be bothered to do your hair, you could always just put on a hat!
