A friend said "always wear as if you are about to meet the love of your life" and I fully agree. Even though I'm not a winter person , I make an effort to dress up. Its not easy but I try. I try not to let the cold dampen my spirit. Even though one needs to cover up, you can still look fashionably hot. Greatest rule of all is to buy clothes that flatter your body and the rest will follow. I have compliled few tips I consider important for one to look stylish in Winter.
Own a Fabulous trench coat
Invest in 1 or 2 nice trench coats & wear them with high heels. It could be a boot or a shoe but don't wear trench coats with sneakers & training shoes. No, dont! Try to keep it chic and classy. Go for neutral colours as they will easily go with everything in your closet.
Sweaters or Round neck jersey
Invest in round neck jerseys or sweaters. Not a lot of people think of round neck jerseys when they are shopping but they really help. Nice thing about them they don't only look fashionable but also closes the chest. Round neck jerseys can be worn with shirts underneath or with just nice accessories. Make sure u don't buy a too tight jersey so that you can wear something underneath.
Uggs a definate yay!
Invest in Uggs. Wear them with an oversize jersey, tights and a scarf. They are not just fashionable but also very warm. This is one look you will not regret. I love it for those lazy cold days.
Colour up

Wear a bit of colour. Try to avoid wearing too dark colors. Colour will lift your mood and give a twist to your ensemble. If you decide to dress in all black be sure to add texture to your outfit with some leather or lace. We can learn one or two things from Blair Underwood in Gossip Girls.
Good quality Pantyhose/ Stockings
Invest in good stocking/ pantyhose. Buy different colours, there's more nice colours out there like blue, grey / maroon. Dont restrict yourself, dare to be different. Wear stockings with some of your Summer clothes like skater skirts, pair it with a blazer and an ankle boot. I find Woolworths's stocking beautiful and of good quality.
Accessories
Accessorize! Invest in accessories they will totally change your outfit think jewelery, snoods, hats, cuffs etc .
Headgear
Most of your body's heat can escape from an uncovered head. Invest in turbans, head wraps big hats, fur hats , small hats & beanies. They will not only warm you but will transform your look.
Please share your own tips. How do you keep warm and fashioble at the same time?
