STYLE ADVICE: Basics for Winter

Is it spring break yet? The answer sadly is no, but that doesn’t mean our looks for winter have to be drab! Pull out your favorite basics just like this fashionable student did and embrace the casual timeless look.

This Fashionista is wearing one of my favorite winter staples, a slouchy cardigan, along with a staple for any wardrobe, light wash skinny jeans. By adding the pop of white in her basic tee and the adorable little black booties, she has all of her basics covered and looks fabulous at the same time.

In the colder months, it’s easy to give up on trying to make an outfit stylish, especially with adding layers upon layers. Instead of giving up, I encourage every Fashionista out there to dig through their wardrobes, pick out a few of their favorite basic pieces, mix, and match to create classic looks until the season changes.

Accessories are also a crucial part of making winter outfits stand out and look more put together. Scarves, sweaters, fun jewelry, big purses, etc., can easily be added to an outfit made up of basic, neutral clothing and help it to be more fun and fashionable. For example, this Fashionista piled on the rings and bracelets, and also added a fun belt to her look. By doing this, her outfit elevates from just a few basics to a complete look. Although this extra step may be a hassle, raiding your closet for things that go together perfectly, it’s well worth it in the end.

Until warmer weather, we’ll have to survive on basics, layers, and a piping hot mocha!
