By: Mystique Myrthil

Since the first snowfall hit the ground, it’s easy to forget style when the temperature is in the negatives and all you want to do is bundle up to endure the cold and bitter wind. Staying stylish is the hardest part of the winter season, with many compromising their sense of style to keep warm. So, what’s the key to staying fashionable in winter without losing your style? Layering and layering well. Keep reading for a list of layering basics to keep you cozy and stylish all winter long.

Basic layers

Leggings and long socks: Add a layer of warmth to your outfit with leggings and long socks. These are great to layer underpants that are too thin to keep you warm. Pick a stylish pattern or keep it simple with neutral tones like grey, tan, and black.

T-shirts: This might sound like a no-brainer but adding a tee under your sweater before you step outside can make a big difference in how you feel. This method also comes in handy if you start feeling too warm; simply take your sweater off and you’re all set in a comfy and stylish t-shirt.

Middle layers

Turtlenecks: Every fashion lover should have a few of these on standby in their winter wardrobe. Not only are turtlenecks incredibly chic, but they also provide extra warmth without having to add a scarf.

Long sleeves: If turtlenecks aren’t for you, long sleeves are the most foolproof way to add a layer of coziness to your outfit. Pair them under graphic tees, sweaters, and even dresses to add more character and warmth to your look.

Outer layers

Capes: Channel your inner Blair Waldorf by wearing a cape this winter to add an air of elegance, coziness, and fun to your wardrobe.

Statement accessories: Trade your neutrals for pops of color this winter, with hats, scarfs, and gloves that will give your looks life and bring joy to the winter blues.
