With the temperature dipping to single digit Celsius, we are in the middle of the winter season. The winter season has lovers and haters in equal measure. One question is common though – how to dress stylish in this season. We have all attended weddings and functions where girls and ladies are turned out in sarees with sleeveless blouses in the peak of the winter season, braving the chill to look “good”. Hell, I am guilty of this too. But girls, we can dress up without having to sacrifice comfort.

People who know me know that I love dressing up and I love this weather. I love dressing up in coats, jackets, hoodies and accessorising them  gloves and cute caps. Who said layering can’t be attractive? For all you beautiful girls wearing all the long layers just because it’s cold, these are my style hacks for this winter:

Long Black Coat

Long Black Coat

Long black coats: Why black? Black is your savior. Not only does black hide any extra inches that you accumulate while enjoying winter goodies, but it is also a perfect colour to stay warm. Why long coats? They are a must have for your wardrobe as not only will they keep you warm but also will never go out of style. So invest in a good black long coat today!  

High Boots

High Boots

High boots: High boots are for keeps. You can pair them up with dresses, skirts or jeans and the best part is that you can keep your feet warm while looking extremely cool. Good quality boots, maintained properly, can last for more than five seasons and like long coats, they are going to be in vogue every winter. So invest in yours today!

 

Bomber Jacket

Bomber Jacket

Bomber jackets: Look both cool and sexy at the same time by adorning bomber jackets. Wear a contrast colour tee underneath cause the same hues would make it look a tad boring. Pair jackets with distressed jeans and sneakers and you’re on your way to beat the chill in style!

Hat

Hat

Caps/hats: It’s all about knowing your face shape and choosing your headgear wisely! Not all caps are meant for all faces. For eg.

Oval-shape face: It’s undoubtedly the best shape to carry off hats. You already have a long face with a rounded jawline so anything that’s well fitted and has a short crown would suit and not lengthen the face further. 

Heart-shaped: Any type will work for you except those with large brims. Best would be to go for a slouchy beanie as the relaxed shape will soften the look of your long pointed jawline.

Round: Because your face is as wide as it is long, opt for something with a straight brim and a tall crown to give your face more angles.

Square: Do choose a hat with a brim to balance out a wider chin. Try wearing a beret, it’ll elongate your facial contours.

Some Dos and Don’t’s

When pairing high boots with jeans, make sure you wear skinny fit/slim fit jeans otherwise you may end up looking like someone who made a fashion faux pas. If you pair them with a skirt or dress, remember the mantra: higher the boots, shorter the length of the skirt/dress.

Do not pair casual bomber jackets with high heeled boots or formal footwear. Keep it simple n cool.

Do choose your hats according to the cut and length of your face. Do not tie your hair back while wearing them.

– Oval: Do experiment with a variety of styles because options are limitless for you.

– Heart: Avoid shapes that accentuate the shape and stay away from wide brims.

– Round: Steer clear of round crowns which can emphasize on the roundness of your face.

– Square: Do not wear a hat with a short brim, no brim at all or a square hat.

See, winters give you a lot of options to try out and experiment. And for those lazy weekends, just wrap around a contrasting shawl on whatever you’re wearing on top with jeans/ pyjamas and you’re good to go.

To all the women out there, look amazing this winter!
