ALL IN THE DETAILS: Layer Up!

March 12th, 2015 at 8:08am

I know I can’t be the only one when I say I am totally over this cold weather! There is nothing worse than when you are cozied up in your warm bed and your dreaded alarm starts ringing, signaling the beginning of a new day. Getting out of my cozy bed and suiting up like an Eskimo to brace the slush and cold is not my cup of tea (in this case, I’ll take a hot cup). However, it always perks me up inside when I see a fellow Fashionista/o on campus with a killer outfit despite the cold weather.

What struck me about this Fashionisto’s outfit was a vital key component for this winter season: layers. Not only is the Fashionisto bundled up against the cold, but he looks good doing it! Bundling up against the cold while looking stylish at the same time can be extremely hard to do (considering I end up looking like a puffy burrito half the time). However, this Fashionisto keeps warm in his layers while incorporating trendy pieces at the same time.

For his first layer, this Fashionisto opts for a polka-dot button-up. The polka-dots give his outfit a subtle pop underneath his neutral jacket. Over his trendy button-up the Fashionisto sports a gray vest for a more sophisticated vibe. He zips up his chestnut jacket for his final layer. Next, the Fashionisto keeps nice and warm in a patterned scarf. For pants, he selects an eye-catching pair of plum shaded skinny jeans. He gives a final and personal touch with a unique pair of scuffed oxfords, adding some mystery to his outfit.

How To: Wondering how you can keep your outfit trendy while piling on layers for the snow? Simply select various eye-catching pieces from your closet that interest you. Like a pair of scuffed oxfords and a patterned scarf, choosing something personal to you will keep your outfit trendy and unique. Layering up to brace the cold has never felt so good!
