Fashion During Winter

Cold weather doesn't have to mean more clothes, just warmer ones. So you can choose whether to bulk up with cosy knits and snug, thick fabrics, or go for clever layering; team funky accessories and outerwear with your favourite key pieces from the spring and summer. That way, you don't have to banish cute tea dresses and floral skirts to the back of your wardrobe for another year; just mix it up by adding jeans or opaque tights and legwarmers, an oversized cardigan or batwing jumper, and those essential winter boots.

Winter fashion is all about adding layers to protect oneself from cold and chilling climate, but at the same time, looking trendy and modern is equally desired. Winter fashion wear is extremely opposite to what you will be wearing in summers. Students, teenagers, mothers and professional ladies have always loved wrapping themselves around with trendy and furry coats and scarves in winters. They prefer wearing tight-fitted jeans or pants under long coats. This is what females have liked to wear in winters for a few years now. Winter boots and leather clutches and bags become extremely popular in winters.

Fashion for women is much more diverse than for men. They have a lot of various accessories to choose from, while basic winter fashion for men includes cool cardigans, which every guy should own. Cardigans not only provide layering but also make them look more sophisticated and classy. Winter Fashion ideas for men include various colours like purple, blue, red and brown paired with a darker coloured pant or a pair of jean. Blazers and jackets are also gaining popularity this winter.

As for colours, remember winter fashion doesn't have to be funereal. While black, grey and charcoal are all very well and grown-up, they can be harsh and make you look slightly washed-out, or just plain boring! Instead try a dark, rich, luxurious colour which flatters your hair and skin - purple, maroon and chocolate are all good - and accessorise with flashes of colour in brighter shades of the same hue. So a deep purple coat will look great with a funky fuchsia scarf and gloves; bottle green or navy are best with the lovely bright turquoise and peacock blue tones which were all over Spring-Summer this year. A bright colour worn near your face will grab attention and warm your complexion, so consider a cute beret or cloche hat in a colour you might think outrageous for bigger pieces.

Of course you'll need a fabulous new bag to go with all this gorgeous outerwear. A black patent tote or oversized shopper, with buckle or strap details, will keep you on-trend while making a subtle style statement. It also gives you somewhere to stash those hats, gloves, scarves and extra jumpers when you're indoors, so no excuses for leaving them on the train! Other key pieces this season shape the overall dynamic, which is very feminine but never frilly: cutesy angora jumpers, puff sleeves and empire lines cosy up to corset belts, bold 'statement' necklaces, high-waisted pencil skirts and shoe boots for a chic, kitten-with-a-whip kind of vibe.

This was all about what has been the general fashion idea in winters for both men and women. Let us now have an insight to the fashion mantra this season.
