During the cold winter months, it can be easy to choose comfort over style, often meaning your outfits take a hit in favor of being warm and dry. But what if you could have both? Being safe from the harsh weather doesn’t necessarily mean your outfit levels need to drop, as you can be stylish whilst also being warm and dry.
Most people won’t take advantage of items that can enhance both their look and keep them warm, for example wearing an insulated men’s coat, these can come in multiple designs, with one being more towards fashion and one towards practicality. Both will do the same job, but one will look significantly better on you and your outfits than the other, it’s just about making the right call when deciding which one to buy.
In this article we’ll be taking a look at the importance of styling for both design and warmth and what you can do to hit both of these goals.
Still shop at the brands you love
Just because you need winter clothes, doesn’t mean you need to ditch your favorite brands and go to an outdoor shop to get your new outfits. Sure, these shops can be great for specific weather clothing, however in general terms, most of your favorite brands and shops will have a winter clothing line and will be much more fashionable than these stores.
By doing this, you’re able to continue to get your favorite brands and keep in line with your own outfit style, whilst not being any worse off regarding staying warm and dry.
Use layers to your advantage
During the cold months, using layers is a great way to not only stay warm, but to also remain in style. For example, if you want to wrap up warm but still want to wear your nice clothes, well if you wear a few layers underneath, you’ll be hiding the boring winter vests and thermals and have your nice stylish brand clothes on top to show.
You’re also able to use such items as a heated gilet, which is either charged or powered by a battery pack, meaning one click of a button and you’re being kept warm by the electric heating inside it. This means you wouldn’t need to have multiple layers on as you’ll essentially have your own heating right under your coat.
Don’t be scared to try new clothes
A lot of the time, people choose to go for the boring winter looking clothes as they are either unsure what to get or scared of making a mistake. However, you shouldn’t be worried about making styling mistakes as it’s so easy to get it right. One tip is if you’re looking to get a new coat for example, go to the store in the outfit you’re looking to pair it with, as when trying it on you’ll be able to clearly see what it will look like.
You can also order a number of items online to be delivered, with numerous companies offering free returns, so if you’re unsure or stuck between two or three items, order them and return the ones you didn’t like, ensuring there’s no risk to your order.
Look at influencer’s outfits
A great way to get ideas on winter wear is to see what the top influencers are wearing. This gives you a great insight into what items of winter clothing are currently in fashion and what you should be looking out for, giving your ideas to then shape into your own style and personality.
With the winters seemingly getting colder and colder, it’s easy to just throw on any warm clothing to keep the harsh cold out, however by taking just a few extra small steps, you can ensure your wardrobe is just as stylish all year round, not just in the summer months.
