Nothing is more disappointing than putting together the perfect going out look to realize the temperature outside is not having it. What a style killer winter can be, right? There’s no reason for the cold to spoil your night out though thanks to our community members’ amazing wardrobe picks. Read on to see how you can still turn heads on a night out with your girls while keeping warm with these trendy winter outfits.
Add a Leopard Coat

Add Some Sparkles in the Layers
If you’re looking to turn heads when you walk out of the cold and into a room, adding some sparkle is the solution I recommend.

Combine a Sweater and Skirt for a Perfect Look
Have a skirt you can’t wait until spring to wear? There’s no need to stress. Adding a sweater with your favorite skirt will keep you cozy on a night out and still let you show off your style. If it’s still a little chilly outside, add some tights to keep your legs warm too.

Style Your Look with Statement Boots
If you already have a go-to winter outfit but are looking to shake it up a little, try on a pair of statement boots. Accessories are the perfect way to revitalize a classic look, and that way you won’t get the: “You’re wearing that again?” look from your friends.

Upgrade Any Look with Trousers
If you have a basic top or blouse you love, don’t throw it away until spring hits. Putting on a good pair of trousers, whether they’re wide-legged, slim, or patterned, will make you going out ready. And let’s be honest, we all know we’d rather be wearing pants than a skirt or dress on a cold night.

Try to Incorporate Layering
The most basic of winter styling tips has come to the rescue yet again. Layering is your winter hero! Even when you are going out. Our stylish community member Niharika shows us how it’s done, layering a sweatshirt with a fun, ruffled skirt, and a classic coat.
