5 Ways To Stay Stylish With The Best Winter Clothes For Women

• 14 Likes

Finding weather-appropriate and figure-flattering winter clothes as a woman can be especially challenging during the winter months. It's tempting to just throw on as many layers as you can and head out the door when staying warm is your top priority in the face of gloomy weather. However, putting together stylish clothes in the winter doesn't have to be difficult.

Without compromising on utility or aesthetics, simple preparation can keep you toasty and fashionable all winter long.

In today's post, I discuss 5 simple tips that can transform a wardrobe that doesn't inspire you into one that makes you excited to get out of bed and face the cold.

1. Get Back To Basics: Thermals

When thinking about the best winter clothes for women, it may sound obvious, but if you choose to wear a thin thermal layer under your outfit, you can often wear what you normally would without worrying about being cold.

2. It's All About The Layers 

The best way to stay warm while still looking fashionable is to layer your clothes thoughtfully. To adapt to the wide range of temperatures you'll experience during a single winter day, it's best to dress in layers (from the frigid cold outside to overheated offices and cars).

Investing in thinner pieces that provide maximum warmth (like cashmere) is the way to go, as is layering on scarves to pull looks together and playing with varying lengths to flatter your body shape.

3. Choose Above-The-Knee Length To Add A Twist To Your Winter Clothes

And this is the best plan of action if you own a pair of six-inch patent leather heels that you were inspired to buy after seeing on the runway but then forget about until the right occasion.

Instead, I suggest going with a pair of flats or boots with a low heels in colours and materials that you feel confident in.

In addition to looking fashionable with a pair of matching pants (black on black, tan on tan, etc.), you can also make a dress or skirt more seasonally appropriate by wearing them with a pair of boots with a narrower shaft.

4. To Create An Elegant Winter Outfit, Wear White

As a fashion pro-tip for the colder months, wear white to create sophisticated winter clothes. In the colder months, white is generally avoided. Similarly to the discussion of statement coats, a white jacket or coat can liven up an outfit while still feeling appropriate for winter.

If you're bored with wearing only black and white, spice up your wardrobe by combining white or cream pieces with dark prints or solids for a contrast that is still vibrant. You can always go with cream this winter if you find white to be too pristine.

5. Make A Statement

If you are willing to make a statement with your footwear, bags, and necklaces, the next logical step is to make a statement with your outerwear, specifically with your coat.
Do not give in to the temptation of trying to simulate days with less sunshine by wearing dark coats and jackets. Resist this urge. Instead of wearing neutral colours like grey and black, you should choose a statement coat in a bright colour or a bold print.
