Some people say everyone looks more stylish in the winter, but most of us would disagree. When the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, it’s almost impossible to resist the urge to put on our baggy sweatpants and slippers and forget our nicer clothes in the back of our drawers until the spring. But it turns out there’s actually a way to stay stylish in the winter without sacrificing warmth – and we are here to tell you how to do it.

Wearing thermal tops and pants is a great way to secretly stay warm while looking fashionable. Instead of wearing a single chunky sweater, try wearing a thermal shirt underneath your favorite top. The same concept works if you want to wear tights in the winter: wearing skin-colored leggings underneath your sheer black tights will allow you to wear skirts even on the coldest of days.

Besides layering your pieces of clothing, scarves are another great way to add an extra layer of warmth and make your outfit more fashionable. You can match it to the color scheme of your ensemble as a whole or to a specific item such as your shoes or gloves to add a fun pop of color. Another great tip is to pick the right fabrics for winter. Fleece, Sherpa, cashmere, merino wool, corduroy, leather and suede are just some of the warmest options out there to help you stay warm while still looking good.
