As winter break starts to come to a close, the transition back to school isn’t always easy. Instead of free time with friends and lounging around the house in sweatpants, we suddenly have to switch back into school mode.
If you’re anything like me, when you look outside and see piles of snow it is very tempting to pile on the sweats to take on the cold. This Fashionista, however, shows us an outfit that is cute and trendy but still warm and practical. The maroon pants are a fun pop of color against the often dreary backdrop outside. The cable knit socks tucked into the dainty combat boots look chic and also provide added warmth and protection from the snow.
Her lightweight top keeps the outfit from looking too heavy, while the long knit cardigan provides much needed warmth. Throw on a parka and this outfit is perfect for those first few weeks back to school. It’s fun and bright, while still providing enough warmth for trekking across campus. What makes this outfit so versatile is the layering; combining pretty, lighter pieces with heavier pieces keeps the outfit from looking drab or heavy, while still being functional. This outfit can take this Fashionista from class, to dinner with friends, to meetings for school clubs, without a problem.
Layering is my favorite part of winter fashion, after all. It can transform a basic piece into a trendy outfit, while allowing me to still wear some of my favorite warm weather pieces. Layering allows a Fashionista to show their own personal style because each outfit is completely unique. Happy layering and stay warm this winter season!
