How to stay Stylish AND Warm

There is no denying it now, the winter Christmas crazy party season is just past us, but more snow is around the corner…diaries will soon be booked up with nights out, office get-togethers, dinners, drinks…you name it…all needing a fabulous outfit to wow your peers with. BUT…that age-old problem will rear its ugly head when it comes to flimsy party dresses…how do you keep warm!?!

Now, while there are some of us who live and die by the winter rule of cab to club, meaning that they don’t enter the outside world at all on a night out. Instead, they opt to jump from a taxi into a venue with the minimum amount of time outside. The majority of us, however, are forced to step outside to get from A to B and there are a few simple tricks that you can follow to look AMAZING in your skimpy dress, but also keep yourself warm while in transit.

1. TIGHTS

First up…tights…now I know, these are not the most attractive accessories to have in your closet, but in winter they are a must-have. You can find the right colored tights to match any color dress you wear. Black is always a great choice for winter nights out. You can pair most anything with plain or patterned black tights that not only look good. but also keep your legs cozy and warm. Skin-colored tights can match lighter outfits, or serve as a subtle highlight to dark dresses and skirts. 

2. Boots:

If you're a brave sexy mini dress lover and it's hard for you to give it up even in the cold winter, a pair of knee-high boots is also a good defense against the cold. Boots are a winter staple, and can dress up even a more casual outfit for a night on the town. 

3. Winter Coat

Don't be afraid to cover up! Layers are key for the next few months, so invest in a serious winter coat to keep as much heat in as possible when out and about. Choose a long floor length number here, to add to the flamboyance of your look, but also add some mystery. Longer coats with a belt make you outerwear part of your look by cinching in your waist and completing your nighttime silhouette.

4. Hats

If you are a hat person, then this is your time to shine. Hats can add a fun and functional element to your look, can complete an outfit and up your style stakes while still keeping you warm. A beanie is a fun and casual way to top off a night outfit, but is super good at keeping you super snug.

Staying warm and looking good doesn't have to be a chore! Just choose your outfit first, and pick a few extra layers to accentuate those colors and styles. Scarves, hats, coats...there's an accessory for every occasion, and every person, too. Stylish and warm is in during the winter months, so strut your stuff without feeling the winter chill.
