You Can Stay Stylish and Stay Warm, You Can Have It All…

When the temperature has dropped so low that going outside seems like a nightmare, and the wind makes your ears hurt, you know that you are in the middle of winter. One of the questions I’ve been asked frequently by all of you is, how to look stylish and stay warm when it’s freezing cold outside. Today, I’m going to answer this burning question! I want to show you that you can stay warm and cosy and still look super fashionable; that you really can have it all! There are three key things that will always guarantee comfort and style for your winter looks.

Firstly, it’s all about the coat. Your coat is your best friend when temperatures are sub-zero. It’s the piece that everyone is going to see first and it will dictate first impressions, no matter what you may be wearing underneath. That is why it’s so important to build your coat collection! Don’t be afraid to go for statement pieces that really let your personal style shine through. This could be in terms of texture (think vinyl, shearling or puffer jackets), style (an aviator style is always a quick way to make a statement or a warm tailored coat for a model-off-duty vibe!) or colour! I’ve clearly gone done the colour route and I’m letting my red coat do all the talking! On that note, I know that red can seem like an intimidating colour but when styled right, with classic silhouettes, you can’t go wrong!

Secondly, it’s all about layering. I mean the layers that you can’t see. I can’t do without my Uniqlo heat tech that I wear underneath all my sweaters! It’s those hidden layers that provide extra warmth while letting you look as chic as ever! Thirdly, accessorise! You could be wearing a simple sweater and jeans like I am here, but with the right accessories, you can elevate your look in an instant! I love to play around with my jewellery, especially with large statement earrings that can make a winter outfit so much stylish.

So how will you be staying warm this winter? Do you follow any of these tips?
