Wear Stylish Jackets and Knitwear this Winter
Tuesday, 21 December 2010
Every woman knows that great outfits and jackets are vital ingredients of a great night out but when the British winter weather means that you also need to stay warm, as well as look stylish, it can be difficult to put together the right look.
Jackets should be the first items of clothing that you consider. You'll want a smart coat that provides warmth as well as style, as this will set the tone for your entire outfit. A double-breasted, wool coat in a colour that complements your outfit choice will have you looking great even when wrapping up warm for the outdoors.
For times when you can get away with something lighter, denim jackets are a good choice for a young, fashionable look. Or for a quirky style, check shirts look great thrown over an outfit.
For a playful yet practical look, why not layer sweaters over a light, girly dress? A chunky aran or cable knit is a particularly fashionable option, or for times when a smarter look is in order, a fine knit cardigan adds extra warmth without ruining the look of an outfit.
If you prefer separates, then denim or cord skirts team up well with fine knit sweaters. Add tights for warmth without compromising on style and let your legs steal the show.
To lengthen legs, a heel is essential for an evening. But keep it practical and on-trend with a small, chunky heel rather than a spindly stiletto. A leather boot is a classic option that will pair well with both playful florals and tough denims alike. Brown or black leather will go well with any outfit and a calf or knee-length boot will keep out the wet winter weather.
If you're still stuck for that perfect winter outfit that will take you from dinner to cinema to bar, follow this simple formula. Take one pretty floral dress, throw over a well-worn denim jacket, and try adding tights for warmth and leather boots to toughen up the look. That outfit equals your perfect simple winter evening style. Just don't forget to get a new handbag to go with your brand new look!
