- The Capsule Winter Wardrobe — Before you go out and start buying a bunch of clothing and accessories for winter that you don’t actually need or won’t actually wear, consider getting yourself a capsule winter wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is one that will last for years to come because it won’t adhere just to what’s trendy right now. If you’re looking for cute women’s clothing for winter, here are the must-have items you should have in your winter wardrobe. You’ll need long-sleeve tops, sweaters, jeans, leggings, and winter jackets. Don’t forget about accessories like scarves, hats, socks, and gloves.
- The Best Cold Weather Fabrics — During the winter, you’re going to want to stay away from fabrics that are too breathable. Breathable fabrics are great choices for spring and summer when you need to wick away moisture because you’re sweating. However, when you’re trying to stay warm, you’ll want fabrics that will keep you that way. Stick to cold weather fabrics like fleece, sherpa, cashmere, corduroy, and suede. Any of these fabrics make for great women’s outerwear options as well as for both inner and outer layers.
- Wear Tights with Boots — You can wear skirts during the winter months. The trick is to layer up with tights and boots. That way, you aren’t bare-legged when you’re wearing your favorite skirt. You also won’t have to worry about stepping into mucky snow if you’re wearing flats instead of boots. According to Tan France, the British-American fashion designer, it’s easy to build a chic winter outfit around a skirt. Get skirts in cold weather dark color palettes. Add on a statement belt to make your outfit pop.
- Layer Your Dresses and Tops — Good news: you don’t have to put your dresses away in storage. To wear your favorite spring and summer dresses during the fall and winter months, layer your dresses. Wear a turtleneck or long-sleeved top underneath your dress. You should layer short-sleeve tops as well. You can put on a thick jacket like a bomber jacket. Dress it up with a blazer. By adding on an outer layer, you instantly turn any outfit into a colder-weather-ready outfit.
