STYLE

Finding a cute outfit and staying warm can sometimes feel like mixing oil and water. Well, no longer! Here are some styling tips and tricks to help you feel like the winter queen you are. 

Don't sleep on a scarf

The scarf is the maraschino cherry of winter accessories. It serves as the perfect top layer to add warmth and an eye-caching element to your outfit.  You can even use the stylish scarf as a shawl if you get cold in English class. 

Turtleneck season 

The turtleneck is a *necessity* in any winter wardrobe because they instantly bring sophistication to any outfit. However, the best part about them is that they can be worn alone with some dainty gold necklaces or layered under literally anything: a slip dress, a cardigan, a graphic tee—you name it! 

Find a versatile vest 

If you aren't a fan of being super bundled up or live in a climate with warmer winters, you absolutely need a vest in your closet. It can go over a hoodie or long-sleeved shirt, making a bold statement with a cool pattern or a pop of solid color. 

Oversized overload 

Nothing is more comfy than a blanket-equivalent oversized denim jacket (or sweater!). Balance out this bulkier top with figure-hugging leggings or jeggings and you'll definitely earn that "best-dressed" spot in the yearbook. 

The statement puffer 

Guess what? You don't have to choose between function and fashion anymore! Puffers sometimes get a bad rep for being too marshmallow-esque, but this season's statement varieties are anything but boring. 

Tights: the fashionable Long Johns  

On those days when all you want to do is throw your jeans out the window and dress up a little bit, pair your fave skirt or dress with cozy tights. There are so many patterns and colors to choose from, so this is a basic that can be either bold or subtle—the choice is yours!
