STYLE GURU STYLE: A Lightweight Look for the Winter

The holiday season is not only the best time of year for hot chocolate, candy canes and snowmen; it’s the most wonderful time of the year for fashion. As the temperature drops and frost lines our windows, it’s not always the easiest option to put together a fun, warm look. In the frigid weather, we all have days we want to hide under a sweatshirt and infinity scarf. But in this look, you can be comfortable and cozy while staying up to trend.

A winter coat is a staple for everyone’s wardrobe during the chilly December days. My white and black plaid coat is the ideal coat for the college woman, as it is lightweight yet keeps you warm as you stroll across campus. With this jacket, you can ditch the itchy sweater. Instead, opt for a fun top to reveal underneath your coat as an unexpected style option. This choker tunic from Express is light and breezy, perfect for looking cute in the classroom once the heat is cranked up. Paired with a lace bralette underneath, this combination is simple but a standout.

Another important staple for the winter months is a good pair of jeans, ones that can be dressed up or down, while keeping your legs warm and dry in the snow. A dark wash pair of jeggings fits perfectly with this look, especially when you add in a pair of black heeled boots to give you the extra push. Altogether, these pieces bring together a casual but fun look wrapped under a winter coat. No longer will you have to sacrifice warmth to look stylish this holiday season!
