Unfortunately, it’s not always sunny here in Philadelphia. During these winter months we trade the warmth of the sun for the brisk cold and occasional gusts of wind. Most people would argue that it is hard to look fashionable during the winter because you have to bundle up in heavy coats, scarves, and gloves just to bear the cold. I would disagree though. There are plenty of winter trends happening right now that allows you to avoid looking like a marshmallow waddling around all bundled up.
Here in Philly we have been lucky enough to not have an awful snow storm (unlike the blizzard we had last year). However, our worst enemy during these cold months is the wind, it is absolutely unbearable. Luckily, there are ways to brave the cold and the wind while still looking fashionable. One trend that I am loving are blanket scarves. These scarves are huge, super soft, and are so versatile you can wear them so many different ways. Another trend that is making a come back are turtlenecks. People might have laughed about them back then, but now they are back and keeping our necks warm in style. Ultimately, winter coats are the hardest to make fashionable, which I disagree with. There are so many styles out there such as long trench coats, peacoats, ones with fur lined hoods all of which come in different colors and patterns. This Fashionista was embracing one of the warmer days we occasionally get in Philly while still incorporating some winter trends.
The staple idea of this Fashionista’s look is none other than a nicely knit and super chunky turtleneck. I can feel how warm that turtleneck is just looking at it. Another up-and-coming trend are over the knee boots which this Fashionista ties in nicely with a pair of plain black leggings. To accessories the look she wears a crossbody purse and a fun pair of sunnies.
During the winter you can go crazy by layering with different colors and patterns or keep it simple, like this Fashionista does, by simply wearing cozy sweaters.
