The season of hot drinks, snowmen, and twinkling lights is back; Winter, with its cold weather and warm vibes, has always been a favorite for many people.
Dressing up for the winter mornings can be lazy for many. You sacrifice your style by wearing the same outfit you have been slipping on all season long. In fact, I have noticed many people saying that they don’t like winter because they can’t look stylish. They think we have fewer options to dress up in winter. Let’s not forget the nightmare of going out on a frigid winter night, and you tend to have no particular piece other than those skinny jeans, a knitted sweater, and a parka. But why? Why can’t people dress up well and look good in winter? I completely disagree with this actually. I think if we use our creative side and style a bit differently we would also have many options to wear.
If you are someone who loves experimenting with your looks you can always add some items from summer into your outfit. Wearing the same favorite summer dress as yours at yesterday’s office and today’s party has never been easy. But with this cold season and some tips and tricks, you can wear your favorite summer dress in the cold. Sounds impossible? But it’s true. I have experimented with this many times and believe me it works!
My Styling Tip- Style the same outfit but in different ways such that people won’t be able to bat an eye towards you, let alone recognize it, and stay warm all season long.
I Have Got Some Amazing Tips for You to Dress Up in Winter
1. Never Forget Your Basics
Wear your basics like a luxury. When it comes to creating winter outfit ideas, we all possess the same clothing, some basics, sweaters, knitted cardigans, etc.
But what makes the difference is how one can create stylish outfits with these basics. You can make a statement with your homemade winter outfit ideas, even with just basic ones.
One thing about basics is that they can easily be layered. Pair your thrift turtleneck and knitted sweaters with long woolen pants with an overcoat or a long leather jacket with a belted waist. Of course, add heeled boots to include a statement to your outfit that will keep your feet warm and comfortable. Add a warm scarf for a chic look.
2. Plaid and more Plaid
Other classic winter outfit ideas include adding plaids to your wardrobe. Next time someone tells you you cannot style plaid, which is not black and red, shut them up with your not-typical plaid pants. Add some bright colors to your plaid pants and style them with a corduroy jacket or a plaid coat with solid pants and boots, the ever-ready outfit for a shopping day. Oh, and don’t forget to click some stylish feet pics with boots before going shopping.
3. Try Contrast
If you are someone who likes wearing a similar outfit, this is for you. Black is the most common contrasting color. Style black faux wide-leg pants with a blazer and a hoodie or a turtleneck.
You can also make a statement with a printed black coat and a parka, layering with some imitation leather pants and a sweatshirt or a high-neck black ruffled blouse for a touch-up to your feminine side. I would suggest you add some funky red to balance your black look.
4. Jumpsuits
Well, many asked the same questions. The answer to that is no, in fact, Jumpsuits are the ultimate lifesaver for winter outfit ideas. If Winter makes you lazy and you cannot think about layering, choose a jumpsuit with some thick fabric.
Style a Jumpsuit with a turtleneck and a warm, insulating coat. To complete the outfit, add calf-high boots, and there you go with your chic look. You can do your experiments as well. No wonder jumpsuits are the ideal clothing in the list of winter outfit ideas.
5. Skirts
Skirts are your only destination when you get bored of pants and jeans. You can either pull out your summer skirts or buy a warm winter skirt. One thing about skirts is that they are easy to pair up with layering. You can wear a hoodie and a skirt, an overcoat with a skirt, or a faux jacket. For ankles, black booties will complete your look. Add tights to get extra warmth in this chilly weather.
6. Holiday Party Vibes
Received an invitation to a party? Or planning to throw a party but have not decided yet what to wear. Worry not!
Add a sparkly dress with a dressy overcoat and thigh-high-heeled boots to grab attention wherever you go. If a sparkly dress is not your party mood, you can still have a super festive look. Vibe with a gingham skirt and a printed t-shirt with a funky overcoat and some jewelry to add spark to your rocking look.
7. The All Business Look
These winter outfit ideas are specially curated for people who want to look chic yet keep it formal. Offices are not just about work. As can be also about flaunting your outfits, hairstyles, and whatnot.
- Combine a classic look with a white shirt over a black turtle neck and pants with a woolen coat or faux jacket.
- Add some neckpieces, simple studs, and heeled boots or mules to complete the look and cover your chilly feet.
8. A Lady Wears!
Like the famous song “ A Lady Loves’ by Debbie Reynolds this winter outfit has the same vibes. Throw in a polo shirt with a midi skirt and a faux-fur jacket to protect you from cold. Good accessories can take your outfit to another level. A custom-made leather handbag with a tough pair of lug sole boots and some jewels to stand out in the outfit is all you need.
9. Go Neutral this Winter
Winter is all about juggling with different winter outfit ideas to make you more stylish and keep you warm. Of course, you cannot forget your layering but you can try different textures to add some playful look to your personality.
- I would recommend you jump into a turtleneck in neutral tones and start your experimental layering from there.
- Add some two-tone pants and a puffer jacket to make it funkier yet not your typical holiday look.
- If it’s colder outside, throw in a faux leather puffer, accessories, handbag, and boots to complete this look.
