My Casual Winter Style File

After the all sequins & the glitz of the December partywear, it feels nice yet slightly strange just to dress casually. Strange, because for over a month, whether daytime casuals or evening party wear, I was wearing something shiny or velvet or at times both. Yet nice, because in the months of January and February, all I want to really do keep warm in cosy oversized clothing and preferably ‘hibernate’ until the spring weather arrives, which is what I usually do over these months… With this in mind, I am going to give my 4 top tips for styling at this time of year.

Tip 1) Winter fashion in January and February maybe all about being cosy and casual, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it stylishly. One of my go-to clothing items must be a jumper dress, especially an oversized jumper dress. I absolutely love them! I have many, in all different colours and styles and they make it so easy to look like you have made an effort when you haven’t plus, they are so cosy and warm.

Tip 2) My next go-to are jeans, paired with a jumper or shirt and heels. A great pair of jeans will take you from casual to smart casual when needed. The art is to find a style of jeans you like, stick to it, and get them in lots of different colours.

Tip 3) Boots are a vital styling accessory for winter fashion. If you have been reading my blogs, or follow me on the socials, then you know about my footwear collection. ‘Over the Knee’ (OTK) boots will always give your outfit the extra wow factor, but ankle boots work just as well. If you only have the option of having two types of boots, I would recommend one pair of suede look boots (OTK if you can) and one pair of leather look ankle boots.

Tip 4) Finishing touches are so important. Items like belts, bags, jewellery, coats etc. All help to pull the whole outfit together and will have you looking fabulous through the remaining winter months.
