How to Stay Stylish In Winter When You’re So Over It
Style may not feel like your number one priority while facing the challenges of freezing temps and icy conditions. Are you finding yourself reaching for basic leggings and oversized tops or comfy jeans and sweaters, without adding any bit of that extra something to your look? We get it. Sometimes it’s all about staying warm, functional and getting out the door a few minutes early to thaw out your frozen car.
We are challenging you to make a commitment to bring some style back into your day, because getting dressed every morning with just a bit more oomph really helps brighten things up during this cold season! We all know the difference in how it feels when we’re facing the world in a look that truly reflects our unique style personality in an intentional way, as opposed to one that says, “I just don’t care.” We care!!
Give your North Face a break.
Bring back that gorgeous coat that’s hanging in your closet collecting dust. Even if old faithful is hanging by the door because you’ve just shoveled, this afternoon when you’re running errands, wear your luscious wool coat or new sleek puffer. If it’s freezing and windy, pull on your shearling. (It should be all about the cozy shearling this winter!) Let’s take a look at the gorgeous coats from past years and fall in love again with the looks we couldn’t wait to swaddle ourselves in.
Wear shoes you wouldn’t shovel in.
We can overcome this winter slump together if we commit to staying fashionable by not getting too habitual in dressing like we are heading out to shovel the walk when we are really headed our to lunch with a friend! Instead of wearing your snow boots, break out those new knee high boots or chunky booties. So many versions are waterproof these days making them totally functional on city sidewalks and they look so much better once you get indoors. So, why aren’t you wearing them? Let’s get back into by what makes winter worth it: great boots!
Nothing is simple when you accessorize.
So if all you could muster up this morning was a simple sweater and jeans look, how about accessorizing with some fun jewelry and a little bling to pull a look together and add some finishing touches? A great necklace is essential this season. If you like wearing statement pieces, a chunky necklace is right on-trend, or if you are more conservative in your accessories style, then a sleek pendant is cool and and put-together.
We hope this has given you that boost to return to the beloved items in your closet that you thought you Just. Couldn’t. Live. Without. and give them the attention they deserve.
