Dress warm and look hot this winter

Just because the weather outside is getting frightful, doesn’t mean your fashion sense can’t be delightful. Wardrobe stylist and image consultant Joan Cordoba from Styled Closets Wardrobe & Image offered tips on how to stay warm yet stylish this winter.Cordoba, who services Vaughan, Toronto and the GTA, says the key is in layering, whether it’s with clothes or accessories. Her first tip is to utilize blanket scarves, which can be worn numerous ways and not only serve the purpose of keeping you warm but also add a pop of color to an outfit.Black Prom Dresses Make You Shine at the Moment.

“You can either do it like a wrap or you can have it over your shoulders and it’s hanging and then you can belt it or you can put it draping on a diagonal on the side and belt it that way or put a broach or something to fasten it,” she says. “There’s just a ton of things you can do with it.”As a backup, she says it can also be worn as an impromptu hood if you are stranded without a hat.Next, she says leg warmers or at least knee-high socks provide the benefit of keeping your legs toasty, especially when you’re only wearing a dress and tights, and also add visual interest by peeping out above a pair of boots.

“I’ve always been a big leg warmer fan,” she adds. “As ’80s as it sounds, it works.”While it’s fashionable to pair black leggings with almost everything, Cordoba says they also come in a warmer material than the skimpier version many women sport.“The thicker ones are probably your best bet because you can wear them as pants or you can wear them with dresses,” she says. “So those are a good staple because if you put your sock extender or your leg warmers on and your boots, you’re pretty warm.”Chunky knit sweaters, which can be paired with tall boots and skinny pants are another popular look this season.
