Key for outside is a good, lined trench.  Try one in a fun color or with good details to create visual interest – and about knee length will both keep you warmer and make you look taller and slimmer.  Pairing this with a comfortable but stylish knee boot will keep most of your legs warm and look oh-so-sleek.  A cute bulky scarf and classic hat will polish off the outdoor look and keep you warm (I like a hat with details that pull in the color of the trench).  Wear it with nice trousers and a nice blouse or sweater and you’re all set.

P.S. I’m attending school in mid-Michigan, so I know cold.

my staple winter items are:
- leather knee high boots(and cold-weather boots for snow/slush)
- long underwear – very thin yet warm, like silk – LL Bean has a good variety and they don’t get bulky under jeans.
- down-filled long coat – it’s both very warm AND light because it’s real feathers.  try chevron-pattern stitch so the coat looks lean and stylish, not bulky.
- thin camisoles/tanks for layering under tops – they actually make a difference because they wear closer to your body.
- scarf - i personally, feel cold/hot depending on the temperature of my neck/collarbone area. is that weird?
- hat/earmuffs - my least favorite cold-weather accessory b/c i’m afraid of losing them when i take it off to go inside, but they are essential for keeping your ears/head warm.

A long, warm trench coat can keep you warm forever. I personally think that a white wool trench without a hood looks the best. Wrap a silk scarf around your head Jackie O style and you’re all set. I’ve personally switched from leggings and tights to black skinny or cigarette leg jeans because jeans still give you that comfort like tights. J Brand and True Religion are my favs for tucking into boots or wearing with Converse. For roomier, flat boots, wear thick socks to keep your feet warm. I think skirts are way sexier when you wear them in the winter; just match them with a pair of thick leggings in black or opaque skin colour. Chanel tweeds are always classic regardless of the placement of the hemline. I love mitts because they can be both cute for kids and stylish for adults. Of course you can never go wrong with leather gloves.

Try thick tights under your pants to keep your legs warm in the cold. 

My favorite way to go is to make your coat into a one-piece~! Layer skirts and whatever you want under an A line long coat with some nice thick tights. Think one-piece within a one piece, so if you open your coat it’s adorable too.

I would go for wool coats as well~ They tend to be warm and often aren’t that bulky, thus you can get away with fitted cute things. 
Long underwear is a must! Sometimes looking through sporting good stores can give you excellent weather wear without bulk, plus no one will see it anyway and they even have good basic colors to boot.
The look is not however complete without boots! A nice warm pair that set off your look. If your coat is black, make your boots a nice pretty color! Also socks are important as well for keeping toes and legs warm. I personally love socks and think it’s adorable when they show at the top of boots. 
Finally a scarf and ear muffs. Think long scarf so you can wrap yourself up when it’s cold. A lot of times if you have a versatile scarf you can use it as a shall as well for when the coat is too warm. Ear muffs are just cuter than most hats and allow you to give yourself a great hair style too. I personally love winter styles! I think you can look way cuter and sexier when it’s cold!

I would seriously rather freeze than look overly bulky. Freezing is way more chic than being bundled up in heavy coats. I grew up in Michigan and it got pretty cold. I havent experienced that kind of freezing in at least 10 years though…bah. I mean, anything below 98 is kind of chilly for me.

I live down south, but during the colder months(temps in the teens to low 40′s with wind chills) here, I can be just as cold. Remedies:

-cute, bright color turtlenecks with bright jewelry.
-skinny jeans tucked into boots
-wool and fun colored lightweight down coats. I wore my wool over a spaghetti strapped cocktail dress in February and I was still warm
-Berets if you have hair that touches your shoulders and earmuffs if not, if you don’t care about appearing to be bald, a hat in a funky color also suffices.
-spaghetti tanks, t-shirts, leggings and tights under lighter sweaters and long sleeve t-shirts.

Over all, use a lot of color to spice up your look.

hello there whos this ?

pass by-

I prefer to wear long coats, skinny jeans, beautiful long socks, knee high boots, and for the long coat you should wear a black or white one. The collars have to have side furrs and the collar has to have furr. I’m describing something in my closet. The garment inside the long furry coat has to have a nice cashmere weather, and under the cashmere sweater has to be a nice decent tank top. You will be rocking it. The boots make it look hot as you can, and a pair that will still survive the cold, cold, cold weather!

black tights with skirts.

tights in general. …..:) i hate winter./…..ugh

Ok, I am an expert on this! I live in a town covered in snow from the beginning of November to the end of April, and this is a MUST for living there. Here are some tips:

1. Skirts are awesome! Wear them as short as you like, just throw wool tights on under them, stockingirl.com has great stuff, as does Target sometimes. Also, put leg warmers over them.2. Buy a pair of “over pants”. I have some men’s carhart heavy-duty pants that I wear for walking to class,a dn take off when I get there. I also have boots I can fit OVER my shoes for the same purpose.3. Wear insulation. Put those wool tights on under your jeans, or wear a pair of light-weight pajama pants underneath them.4. Hats. Get a great collection going! Visit goodwill, they always have knitted ones in tons of colors.5: Buy an under-armor style shirt, and wear it all the time.
Hope these help you out!

i wear leggings under my denim to add extra layer 

it’s all about your layering techniques.
want sexy warm legs?
wear leggings. some are even thin enough to wear under jeans/pants like long underwear, but leggins can be way more stylish.
as for your upperbody
start your upper body layer with a tanktop and a thin long sleeved shirt.
from these you can pretty much put anything else on as long as it doesnt seem too bulky.
it is all about the “ply” of your clothing.
when you go coat shopping, wear a bunch of layers so you know your coat will fit over them.

oh boy i feel like i’m a pro at this. Toronto is also freezing cold. probably moreso than chicago! and we get wind off lake ontario… stupid great lakes.
my wintercoat isn’t very warm, nor fashionable (to a certain extent) it’s a burton snowboarding coat. It’s actually for snowboarding, so it does not offer much insulation. BUT. i have enough room to wear at least two sweaters underneath it. usually a AA zip up hoodie and a knitted zip up, so i can just take them off with my coat when i’m inside.
It’s all about layers! as for the bottom half, CORDUROYS. They are warm, and usually protect against wind. I’m a huge fan. I love H&M cords.
knee socks under pants (or over leggings), tall WARM boots, (sometimes this includes plastic bags, for those slushy days)
mitts, pockets to put your mitted hands into, a hat, and hopefully some hoods. and a scarf.
I love winter
