Beat the winter blahs with stylish outerwear
When bundling up on frosty days, don’t trade your sense of style for warmth. A sturdy and fashionable quilted down coat is a worthy investment, and neutral colors are ultra-wearable and eternally classy. If you want to go for colors that will brighten the bleak winter months, stylists suggest belted or hooded coats in both short and long lengths. Choose shoes that cover as much skin as possible. Boots with a warm lining and extra thick insoles are the best bets for toasty toes. Thermal leggings are extremely popular this winter and can be found everywhere, from street stalls to department stores. Top off the look with hats, gloves and earmuffs reminiscent of childhood.
