The winter time brings unbearable, cold temperatures and changes in your wardrobe. But this doesn’t mean that you have to keep your favorite clothes in the closet; it’s a time to wear more of them at once to create warm outfits that you’ll love.

Do you have a pair of over the knee boots? Try them out with shorts or a short skirt. Ankle boots are great with cuffed jeans that will make sure your boots are still being seen. If the snow forces you to wear snow boots instead of stylish ones, get creative and invent an outfit that is great for you. Even get creative with colors and materials; have fun with it. You’ll feel confident in your own style along with comfy and warm feet in the snow, what a great combination!

Layer up your favorite pants with leggings or nylons underneath. No need for sweatpants only. Keep those tanks out and put them under tees layered with a sweater and coat. Most of the warmest coats are so bulky. So style them on up this winter with a belt around the waist. Bulky gloves aren’t needed at all, the most chic gloves have warm materials inside so that you can move your hands around freely during the hustle and bustle of family and work.

Every season comes with accessories and winter’s are more fun than any other, I believe. Scarves are so versatile and can be worn more than just around the neck. Tie them around your shoulders in a knot or over your head on windy day. Get a hat that is warm enough to keep your ears from falling off but fun one you know you’ll want to keep, as it’s one of the first things people will see.

The fact of the matter is, you don’t need to bulk it up and be as stiff and boring as a tree trunk this winter with your cold weather clothes. Your chic side will be like an evergreen tree instead, forever colorful and alive.
