Winter Styling Tips & Tricks
When it comes to seasons, I’m a summer girl all the way. I love the ease of just throwing on a sundress, or a tank and shorts. From the sun hitting your skin, to how a natural tan elevates any outfit, I just love it. But, that being said, I do love the layering aspect that styling in the winter gives you. There’s so much depth and textures you can achieve all in one outfit. It all meshes together perfectly.
You can’t ever go wrong with an oversized chunky sweater and skinny jeans, topped off with your favorite coat and heels. By pairing your oversized sweater and coat, you balance out the rest of the outfit with the skinny jeans and heels. This winter I have been obsessed with my long teddy coat, that I got at a sweet local boutique. The texture of the teddy coat adds so much depth throughout the entire outfit because it’s a long coat. Skinny jeans will never go out of style in my book and pair well with big sweaters. Finally, heels are one of my favorite ways to elevate any look, especially paired with skinny jeans. Instant classic! It is the cherry on top for any look you’re going for. They make for a classy, sophisticated, but also a playful statement.
Booties/boots are also a staple for the fall and winter months. I mean they are so many iconic styles from the Chelsea boot (btw I love how the trendy boot this season is the rubber platform Chelsea boots. I absolutely love mine.) to riding boots, ankle booties to the classic knee high boots and over the knee boots (these are absolutely to die for). To say there is a boot for every occasion under the sun is an understatement.
The fall and winter months are where I feel I can get the most creative with my outfits. From the layering to all the different textures going on, and the accessories there is so much freedom and endless possibilities to what you can achieve. It’s almost hard to repeat outfits because all you need to do is swap out one sweater/coat for another, and you have an entirely different look going on.
Lastly, DON’T BE AFRAID TO STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. I’ve found that some of my favorite outfits I’ve put together are outfits that I’ve dabbled into new styles/colors/prints that I normally wouldn’t have! Don’t get me wrong I love the classics… because they’re classics and iconic, but some of the more “out there” pieces are so unique and timeless in and of themselves. I adore wearing anything red & hot pink. I love these colors instantly make for a bold statement when you walk into any room! Fashion is playful, and it is so fun to mix pieces up. They are no rules in fashion, and life is short, so wear what makes you happy girl!
Happy Styling!
