STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Baby, It's Cold Outside

Just because winter is here doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of style under layers upon layers of warm clothing. With the wind chill below zero, it can be very tempting to layer two pairs of sweatpants and a few long sleeve tops under a hoodie and a North Face, but staying stylish throughout winter while staying as warm as possible is actually not that difficult.

This Fashionisto stayed stylish and warm by layering a few key pieces. Arguably the most important piece for the winter season is a statement sweater. The sweater that’s a little more exciting than a basic, low quality knit, but is still very practical and most importantly warm. A quality, stylish coat is another staple piece for winter. Coats like this Fashionisto’s car coat are essential for networking events and internships, but they also just make you look super cool and important, which is also a plus. Finally, a sturdy pair of boots are a must for the winter season. Keeping your feet warm and dry during the snowy months is crucial. He completed his look with a cozy scarf and touchscreen gloves for functional added warmth.

My final advice for staying stylish during the cold winter months is to utilize your staple pieces. Winter is definitely the time of year to purchase investment pieces. When you buy a coat or a pair of boots that are high quality, not only will they actually keep your warm, but they will last you many winters to come.
