Let’s be honest, when it comes to winter fashion, comfort most definitely takes precedent over anything else. We all seemingly fall into the trap of asking yourself how many days in a row it’s acceptable to wear our favorite pair of leggings, while still being able to consider ourselves a productive member of society.
It’s a trend versus functionality world out there, and we’re just living in it. But don’t stress, finding your style zen in the frigid cold months is still possible with the exploration of one word: textures.
Here’s how it works. I could tell you all about the simplicity of bringing color back into your winter wardrobe with some easily added accessories, but we both know you’ve heard it all before. I’m here to tell you that rocking that all-black, monotone outfit (something I am admittedly guilty of) can still have life and let your real personality shine through.  All it it takes is mixing fabrics: pairing leather with suedes or denim with furs.
This outfit I styled holds some of my most near and dear wardrobe pieces of all time. My knit, cropped sweater combines a striped design with mesh-like accents that can spice up even your most basic cozy outfit. Both this blue, oversized denim jacket and fitted black jeans help balance out this ensemble by cultivating a sort of toned down ’90s grunge vibe. To finish off this look, I added suede textured booties and my favorite red velvet crossbody bag. If you look closely, it’s all tied together with both the purse and shoes with matching chrome accents.
With a keen eye for detail, take any outfit from snow-ready to street-ready and make that winter outfit totally #RAD.
