I love so many things about winter. Waking up to the first snowfall, baking cookies, shopping for my loved ones, snowy trail rides on my horses, and cuddling up to a Christmas movie with my honey. However, one of my favourite things about winter will always be the cute and cozy outfits I finally have an excuse to wear! Here are my wardrobe must-haves for crafting that perfect winter outfit.
- Chunky, oversized knits. There is no better way to stay warm (as well as effortlessly stylish) than with a big, comfy, knit sweater. The varieties, colours, and styles are endless, so stock up!
- Leather leggings. Although leggings are my go-to on the daily in the winter months, leather leggings are a perfect option for being warm, but also a little sexy. I wear mine with combat boots and casual sweaters for a daytime look, and with heeled booties and a low top for a dressier evening out.
- Stylish, yet weather-proof boots. There is nothing worse than walking around with cold, wet feet. Find a boot that is water-proof and insulated yet still fashionable, like these Ugg boots I purchased a few years ago. They were an investment, but they have kept my feet warm and dry to-date!
- A cute, patterned coat. Nothing says winter like a soft, feminine coat with some sort of pattern. I am in love with this coat I picked up from Anthropologie, as it’s perfect for running errands etc. without overheating.
- A great, knit toque. I have collected quite the collection of winter hats over the years. They are perfect for keeping frozen ears warm, look cute with any outfit, and MOST importantly, for hiding a bad hair day!
- Over-the-knee boots. One of the biggest trends this fall/winter are thigh-high boots. Flat ones are perfect for during the day, and heeled ones make for a super sexy evening look. Pair with leather leggings and your outfit will be unstoppable.
7. A blingy, statement piece. With Christmas parties and dinners galore, winter is the perfect time to bring out a big and glittery statement piece of jewelry. I like pairing a statement necklace with my knits to add a little interest to my outfits.
8. A clear, dewy complexion. We all know how harsh the winter months can be on our hair, skin, and nails. Avoid dry, itchy skin with a great moisturizer (like this one by Aveeno) to be confident in your complexion all winter long.
