As mercury levels drop, don’t let your cold weather survival uniform plunge down to boring. Although the go-to jeans, chunky knit, and ankle bootie can be tempting, there are simple ways to elevate your cold weather style.
First, ditch your average chunky knit for a sleek, solid colored turtleneck and a printed cape. A sleek turtleneck (here) will look more sophisticated, while still keeping you warm, and can be worn on repeat. A stylish cape (here) is great for keeping the chilly winds at bay when running around outdoors and can easily be slipped off when the heat is blasting indoors. Next, swap out your denim for leather pants or leather-like leggings (here). Opting for leather will add extra warmth and a pop of on-trend texture. Finally, if you don’t own a pair of suede knee boots (here), you should get a pair because suede isn’t going away anytime soon — you’ll be able to wear these beauties well into next spring.
These simple cold weather uniform upgrades won’t just keep you warm during these late fall/early winter days, but also stylish. So, give them a try! See more of the look and layering pieces below.
