outerwear

It’s absolutely no secret that during the winter season the best remedy for keeping warm and looking chic is layering. My personal formula for executing layering successfully, is starting with a neutral base and then gradually building upon it with heavier pieces that are among the same color palette. This is exactly the method that I used for this look. I was getting quite bored with feeling obligated to wear pants just because of the brisk temperatures, so I went on a hunt for a thick midi dress that I could wear with tights and my thigh high boots. Once that mission was accomplished the rest of the look came together quite easily. I’ve really been loving the taupe and grey tones this season so those were pretty much the colors I stuck with throughout the look. I loved the look of the ribbed knit texture of the dress against the heavy tan wool and leather on the coat. To add a bit more texture and dimension, I added my cropped fur vest and my favorite scarf. Another crucial tip when it comes to adding layers is taking full advantage of accessories. Hats, scarves, sunglasses, and bags are all easy pieces that you can grab to take your outfit to the next level. With that being said, I finished off the look with my leather cap and go to cross-body handbag. With layering like this, you are guaranteed to stay looking fashionable and feeling warm.

Although it has been oddly warmer these days, I figured since it is still technically winter, I would highlight some of the fur jackets, coats, and overall outerwear that has recently caught my eye. While I do love a statement fur coat, it is a style that can be too overwhelming for some. If you are a person who is a little more subtle with their fur choices, opt for a coat or jacket with a fur collar, trim, or lining. This way, you can still be eye-catching and on trend while still remaining comfortable and confident. Of course, if you’re like me and don’t mind having all eyes on you, go for a coat with bright fur or a pattern to completely steal the show! No matter what your style is, there is always room for fur in the winter. Show me how you style it! (Don’t forget to click on the images to shop the products below!!)
