The winter weather has certainly arrived, but that doesn’t mean we should sacrifice style for warmth, or vice versa. When you’re living in fridged areas, you must come prepared with thick, quality items that also allow your style to shine through. We’ve listed ten tricks to seamlessly and stylishly breeze through the winter, along with a few fabulous items to add to your own closet.

LUX LAYERING
Layering coats, jackets, and cardigans is a clever way to shed as little or as much as the temperature requires. Drape your overcoat over the shoulder for a glamorous twist to your look.
TOP IT OFF
Whether you’re shielding a bad-hair day or adding warmth to your head, hats can perfectly complete a cold-weather ensemble. Berets, peaking caps, bucket hats, and knit headwraps are on-trend yet practical ways to warm-up.
OVER THE KNEE
Over-the-knee boots have been a hot item for a while, and they come in a variety of styles to fit anyone’s taste. You can also switch up your tights for a pair of thick, thigh-high socks for a cute and cozy vibe.
CLASSY IN A CAPE
Give your winter uniform a vintage twist with an elegant cape. Add a pair of long, leather gloves and over-the-knee boots for some sleek glamour.
POLISHED PUFFERS
The down puffer jacket has the reputation of being the warmest but not always the most stylish winter staple. However, these pieces will change your perception with their flattering silhouettes, stylish belts, and unique fur-detailing.
STYLISHLY SLOUCHY SWEATERS
Add a cool contrast to a pair of leather pants or to a mini skirt/tights combo with these stylish yet cozy sweaters.
WINTER WHITE
Who says white is only for the summer? Break the rules and stand-out with a stunning white pant, over-sized sweater, overcoat, or bootie.
STATEMENT STOCKINGS
Don’t ditch your favorite mini dress or skirt just because the temperature drops. Keep it classic with a pair of black opaque tights or go daring with an on-trend lace, fishnet, or colorful statement.
STUNNING SCARVES
Keep it subtle and elegant with a silk or go bold and practical with an oversized cable knit. Either way, you’re fighting the cold air while adding the perfect finishing touch to your winter outfit.
GLAM GLOVES
Leather gloves practically scream “winter-weather glam”. Express your own style with a bright color, suede detail, or a dramatic opera style.
