Chilly weather is in full effect, but don’t let those subzero temper­atures force you to sacrifice style. Here’s some inspiration for winter looks that are as warm as they are chic.

Snug statement

Funky knitwear is a great addition to spice up a winter wardrobe. If your sweater is oversize, tucking in the front (called a “French tuck”) helps to define the waistline.

Winter white

This fuzzy dress is an unconventional spin on the typical sweatshirt-and-sweatpants loungewear look. The mono­chromatic colour scheme is made complete with matching socks, clogs and faux-lambskin jacket.

Green light

Shades of green offer a nod to nature during the wintry months. Choose a coat or sweater (or both!) in this colour to make a statement every time you walk out the door.

Scarves & stripes

Jazz up neutral layers with fun accessories. A patterned scarf and statement footwear are functional pieces that also provide a splash of colour.

Knits are it

A shorter dress will still work for winter if it’s made of a thicker fabric with long sleeves or a high neckline. Knee-high socks and booties also help keep you warm while adding a dash of cool.

Mellow yellow

Okay, bold yellow. For the fashion risk-takers, a jacket in this vibrant hue will take you anywhere you want to go in style. Pair it with a knit balaclava if your coat doesn’t have a hood.
