Field Guide to Winter Fashion

1. You live in a place that really does have a winter season. No. I’m just curious about how the

rest of the world suffers. Yes. And I need a coat to keep me warm. Maintain a coat wardrobe of flattering colors.

Work with your body type.

Go on trend.

Check shoulder for purse

straps.

Don’t forget the scarf, hat, and

gloves!

2. You live in a place which regularly gets snow. No. Usually it’s just rainy or icy.

No.

Not too much

precipitation,

but still cold.

Yes. Poor me.

Yes. And I don’t want to have cold toes!

3. You have to wear business attire while working.

Mostly rain?

Yes. And I can’t crawl into a blanket while in the office. No. But I’d still like to look my best.

Stop grinning. This is called a fashion opportunity!

Another fabulous fashion opportunity!

Yeah, poor you.

But at least there are Wellies!

Go for the boots anyway!

4. You have some place very special to go.

Yes. And I want to look fabulous! No. I’m just going to snuggle up on the couch at home.

Just say no without

coverage.

Coordinate trousers and footwear

Day time events call for smart, colorful ensembles.

Evening events are dressier; Black tie usually means LBD

or a long gown.

This is a great time for open-toe sandals or statement pumps.

Don’t forget the appropriate wrap or stole and dress bag.

Layer for climate control.

Silk thermals for warmth.

Opaque hosiery.

Why not choose a beautiful robe?

With slippers to match!
