Winter Layering Tips for Staying Stylish and Warm
When layering for winter, opt for thin items as they warm up quicker and cool down faster in changing temperatures. Consider pairing a thin T-shirt with a knit that can be easily taken on and off or tied around your waist for a stylish look. Kendall Jenner's outfit at the US Open with a silk slip dress and a knit tied around the waist showcases a trendy winter layering idea.
Sneaker Trends for Winter Footwear
Chunky sneakers like the New Balance Hoka are popular, but sleek and retro-looking sneakers are more versatile and stylish. Brands like Onitsuka Tiger offer streamlined options that pair well with various outfits and provide both style and comfort. Consider lifestyle trainers that are not only fashionable but also practical for everyday wear.
Trending Winter Fashion Must-Haves
Red is a prominent color trend for winter, adding a vibrant pop to outfits. Leather jackets, especially oversized and minimalistic styles, are fashionable choices for this season. Cardigans, particularly those with knitted textures and comfy designs, offer warmth and style for cold weather.
Choosing the Right Winter Tights and Skirts
Invest in high-quality tights from reputable brands like Woolford or Levante to avoid constant adjustments and discomfort. For winter skirts, opt for knitted maxi skirts or faux leather options for a chic and cozy look. Pairing summer skirts with tights can work well if the fabrics are thick and suitable for layering in colder temperatures.
Winter Wardrobe Bougie and Budget Picks
Splurge on timeless pieces like the Jenny Kane Cooper cardigan for a versatile and classic addition to your wardrobe. For budget-friendly options, consider H&M's quality wool cardigans or air leather mules with shirling lining for comfort and style. A dreamy coat like the Cos oversized wool coat can elevate any outfit and provide warmth and elegance for various occasions.
