1. Layer Up — To layer thoughtfully so you can get that cute, cold-weather style without feeling like a bundled-up marshmallow, start with a cozy base layer like a turtleneck or thermal top. Add on a cardigan or chunky sweater, and top it all off with a long coat that ties the look together. Playing with different lengths, like a long coat with a cropped cardigan, can add visual interest while mixing up your look.

2. Mix Textures — As the temperatures drop, snuggle up in cute sweaters in warm fabrics to show off your personality on a chilly day. Take your cold-weather outfit from simple to stand-out by wearing a soft, chunky-knit sweater with sleek leather pants or a ribbed turtleneck with a fuzzy faux-fur jacket. The contrast in textures will make you feel cozy while still snagging all those compliments. Wool, velvet, and denim are other popular cold-weather textures to play with, so try a knit top with velvet pants or a denim jacket with a fleece scarf.

3. Rock Statement Outerwear — Meghan Donovan, the fashion, beauty, and travel expert who pens Wit and Whimsy, shares that one of the easiest ways to put together a cold-weather-weekend athleisure look is grabbing a pair of leggings and comfy walking shoes and accessorizing with a beanie and coat. To take your look up a notch, you’re going to want a statement coat this winter. Statement outerwear is every fashionista’s trusty cold-weather companion, so opt for coats that are in bold colors or unique patterns or with interesting details like faux-fur trims or oversized buttons. Layer a bright, patterned coat over a neutral-toned outfit, or try a sleek, long coat in emerald green to make a classy statement this winter.

4. Accessorize It! — Now that you know how to bundle up and stand out, let’s talk about the cherry on top of any cute cold-weather ensemble: accessories! Try a scarf in a bright color or a beanie for extra warmth and style points. Leather gloves offer a classic touch. Throw in a chunky necklace or statement earrings that can peek out from underneath your layers. Most importantly, you’ve got to check out our trendy shoes that are perfect for those cold-weather looks.
