Chilly Weather Styling Tips: Not-So-Basic Winter Basics
Is it hard to get dressed this winter because you’re finding some of your cold-weather basics to be a bit drab and boring? We totally get it. It’s 30 degrees outside and you’re minimalist black turtleneck and jeans are looking more ‘ugh’ than sleek and chic. Take a cue from our fashion editors to see how to ‘oomph’ up some of those winter basics to keep that It-girl vibe staying strong for the rest of the blistering cold season. Stay warm!
1.
Turtleneck
We love the look of a simple turtleneck, but sometimes we just want more. That’s why we love the idea of layering a turtleneck under a pretty dress. What’s fantastic about this piece is that you can slip it on under everything from a classic shirtdress with the top few buttons undone or even a sweet spaghetti strap number.

Tibi Shirtdress $695
2.
Sweater/Sweatshirt Dress
In the fall, we loved leaving the house with a cute sweatshirt dress and sneakers, but for the winter, zhush it up with printed tights and a comfortable pair of over-the-knee boots.

3.
Crewneck Sweater
These timeless sweaters are perfect for wearing over printed blouses with the cuffs and collar peeking out, but take it up another notch by adding a fun brooch to it too. Bonus if the sweater is a non-neutral for a really standout look!

4.
Blazer
What we’re going to do with this piece is pair it with a playful midi dress. This way, the frock will dress the blazer up, while the blazer will dress the frock down, making it a great set for day or night.
