wear white in winter 5

Fashion has been revolutionized ever since the first “important person” dared to say, in public that it’s absolutely ok to wear white in winter.  So after that, it’s ok to wear white in the winter.  It never occurred to anyone that after all, snow is white and only happens in winter.  As a matter of fact, right now everywhere I look at is covered with white snow.  Don’t take me wrong I don’t necessarily approve white summer-looking dresses for the winter.  Maybe this latter has to do with the fact that I’m always cold and can’t conceive the idea.

layering clothes

They are forecasting cold temperatures with snow for this weekend, so it’s time to be creative to stay warm.  If you do it right, you may even be able to get away with sweaters and ditch the coat, as in the first picture below.  The secret of layering clothes well is to start with thermals for the first layer, keep the first and second layer tight enough and keep adding more loose pieces as cardigans.  Finish off the layered attire with big scarves, jackets or coats.

Winter has officially started as of December 21st.  Not that it didn’t feel like it before, we’ve had our good measure of cold days, and even snow by now, but, yes the colder days are ahead of us.  For those unbearable cold days, thank God for puffer coats.  My husband is obsessed with them, my son is as well and I’m at last wishing for one.  For the days that don’t call for tailored coats, there is the puffer coat.  Either for heading to the slopes or for staying local, often all we want is the simple act of feeling warm and comfortable and a puffer jacket provides just that.

Boots are without a doubt one of the most stylish accessories during winter fashion.  Over-the-knee boots are easy to wear and go with almost every outfit imaginable.  Pair them with the already staple skinny jeans or leggings, style them with a pencil skirt, or even with a dressy dress to attend one of those holiday parties this season.  Whichever way you want to wear your -over-the-knee boots, here are 10 different ways to inspire you.

ski gear, winter clothes

Many people prefer to spend Christmas while skiing up in the mountains.  This year I’m determined to improve my skiing abilities by taking together with my son, local classes at a nearby ski facility.  I imagine it would be a good idea to actually be able to ski before I decide to plan a trip to Aspen.  The ski gear, however, needs no preparation or training, these are winter clothes that can be used on and off the slopes.

As chic as these ski-ready gear are, they are also great to keep you warm while walking around town, while having hot drinks at a local cafe or just enjoying the crisp sun outside.  I could use the oversized fair isle cardigan, below combined with skinny pants any day of the weekend.  These Montelliana hiker boots (further below) are just as chic as they are practical.  This other pair of leather and shearling boots are also great looking.  A stylish turtleneck fair sweater is a must for those chilly winds while skiing.  A varsity sweater like this one is a classic sport winter sweater and a waterproof insulated down parka will of course keep you warm.
