This winter, long down coats, in addition to a sweater on underneath, have been a major trend. The most significant reason being they are warm. Winters in the Midwest are brutal and when it comes to the trendy city of Chicago, the locals are looking for stylish clothes that will keep them warm.

This trendsetting college student is wearing her favorite color to wear, black, which is also a color that can make any person look very sleek and sophisticated. She pairs a leather legging with knee-high black boots, creating a more dressy look. To make the outfit more casual, she adds a gray sweater. The sweater adds more color to the look and adds warmth while going out in the cold weather. For accessories, this Fashionista adds layered necklaces to enhance the look visually.

There are so many kinds of sweaters, find the one that suits your style. Also, layering a couple of necklaces and adding them to your outfit is always a great choice, no matter what season.
