Now that the temperatures have dropped, boots have become a part of your wardrobe that is as essential as your jacket or sweater. The best part is that there are many stylish boots, loafers, and shoes under $100. You could go for ankle boots with a heel for casual outings or loafers to wear with socks for a warm day. You can even go for functional boots that will make you look classy. A complete look is not complete without a pair of stylish shoes.
Now that we have addressed the basics, we will dive right in.
I know you can feel that nice and crisp air, too—it’s definitely layering season now! Winter is all about layered looks that feature fabulous textures and colors and achieve that perfect balance between staying warm and staying fashionable. It’s during this time of year that preparing for a day out actually feels exciting and relaxed and not as though you’re dressed and ready in a flash. Honestly, lately, I find that I’m living in oversized sweaters. They are soft and comfortable and actually extremely versatile; you can dress them up with more formal clothing and also wear them casually for a trip out for errands.
1. Begin with Texture
Texture is what elevates a striped shirt and pants dress from being bland to being deliberate. By incorporating different textures through varying fabrics, even if staying on the same color scheme, you will achieve interest. Layer your structured denim jacket with your thick cable knit sweater, or add your suede jacket to your ribbed top. Fall and winter offer the perfect conditions to explore various textured fabrics like knits, wool, suede, leathers, and corduroy. You would be surprised how well all of them come together.
2. Think Layers, Not Bulk
The trick to layering smart is warmth without weight. You don’t want to feel like you’re wearing everything you own at once. Begin with a solid foundation: jeans or tailored trousers or a long skirt, and a fitted long-sleeved shirt or light sweater. Then start building up. Add layers of clothing that keep you warm but also retain shape. By using thinner layers, you can layer warmth without having to give up mobility.
3. Play with Proportions
Proportion is the key when it comes to layering. The easiest way to wear oversized pieces is to pair them with something that fits. Long oversized blazers with skinny jeans, tunic sweaters with leggings or high boots, and oversized denim jackets with tailored trousers will all work together to create a flattering silhouette. Do not be afraid to mix and match cropped jackets over longer tops or wide-legged trousers with a fitted sweater will completely transform the look of an outfit while still making it wearable in inclement weather.
4. Keep It Cozy with Accessories
Accessories are where your personality really shines through. A fashionable hat, scarf, eye-catching bag, and of course, the right shoes can dress up even the simplest outfit. Add a neutral beanie scarf or a plaid scarf for a warm fall look or go bold with accessories in rust, olive, or wine hues. These are guaranteed to instantly dress up your outfit and give it a deliberate look. Even a simple outfit consisting of jeans, a sweater, and boots can be stylishly put together with the right accessories.
Ultimately, layering for winter is all about being comfortable, confident, and creative. In all reality, you don't need a whole new wardrobe, not when you can mix, match, and layer with expertise. The right layers will keep you warm, stylish, and prepared for whatever life has in store for you when the seasons change
