Remaining Stylish And Practical During The Winter Months

As winter approaches and temperatures begin to drop, keeping warm whilst retaining your style can be tricky. Invariably, extra layers are required in order to combat the cold, icy weather but this does not mean that you have to sacrifice looking good. There are many ways to remain practical and warm that don't have a negative impact on how you look and feel.

Choosing fabrics and accessories
It is vital that you invest in clothes made from fabrics that keep you warm. This will reduce the need for excessive layers of clothing which can make you look bulky. Cashmere is a fantastic choice as it looks extremely stylish whilst at the same time providing a high level of thermal insulation. Consider matching a colourful cashmere boat neck sweater with a pair of jeans and boots. Accessories are perhaps one of the most useful options during winter months. Items such as scarves, gloves and hats can really make your outfit come to life whilst providing additional warmth at the same time.

Coats and cardigans
The winter months are renowned for low temperatures and strong winds. This is common across the UK but is a particular problem if you live on the coast. Perhaps you have recently purchased one of the many new homes in Southampton, Bournemouth or other coastal towns and have a daily struggle against the elements. To ensure that you are protected from the cold winds, investing in a winter coat or cardigan can be the perfect solution. To avoid looking bulky, try and wear long sleeved, tight fitting tops which hug your body. Throwing a coat or cardigan over this will keep you warm whilst allowing you to look elegant.

Invest in some boots
Boots are great at protecting your feet from the cold whilst also forming a barrier against snow, ice and rain. Longer boots are perfect as they will allow you to wear a pair of thick knee high socks without them looking out of place. Leather boots are available in many different styles which mean that you can choose a pair that complements the rest of your outfit.
