Dressing Sharp for Winter

Every year at this time the temperature goes down, the winds grow teeth and they start biting, with the change in temperature comes the dying need to get toasty and comfortable ; this brings  with it the change in dress code.

     Annually we see them the abominable winter getup's, the gigantic unflattering ski coats, the badly matched outfits: all in the name of keeping warm ! Well, I am here to tell you that you will not be joining the unstylish getup train for you deserve the best of both worlds : being warm and stylish.


Layering your clothing

Now we have all played with legos, layering clothing is just like that : it's a build up thing, you start off small and end big ; and there are two types of layering ..

The casual layering




The formal layering
 


In both the pictures above the models are wearing a three piece layering.

Wearing the Right Coat

When dressing up in cold weather, the right winter coat is essential .... be it a pea coat, the overcoat, a parka coat or the duffle coat ; choose on that works for you. Here are my favourite coats :

The Formal


The Casual

The Right Winter Accessories

Accessories have the potenial to add colour and pop to an outfit when styled well; when styled badly they can be very tacky, so choose accessories that are both functional and stylish

Hats and scarves


Wearing a good hat in winter is a good idea for it prevents a lot of body heat loss and it frames your face. A scarf is a great way of keeping the neck toasty whilst adding colour to your outfit.

Gloves
 

Gloves give you that nice polished finish look, so when wearing leather gloves they should match the belt and shoes. This way they compliment the look without drawing too much attention…


Stay warm and toasty and remember : never sacrifice style for comfort !!
