Look good when it's too cold to deal

Every year when summer melts into fall, we get pretty excited to revamp our wardrobe. We love the easy, breezy fashion that comes with warm weather but the cool, crisp autumn air just gives us so many options. However, when fall turns into winter and multiple layers become mandatory, we start to run out of cute cold weather outfits real quick. If you feel the same, these tips for winter dressing are about to make your life Here, a few of our top tips and tricks for dressing when it's cold outside.

Become a layering pro

There is a reason layering is always on-trend in the winter: It's a massively practical way to dress when it's really cold. Don't be afraid to pile on the layers, and don't worry about them ruining your look. The key is to find items you can layer discreetly under trendier pieces, so you stay warm and still look cute. You can buy an ultra thin, lightweight puffer or vest from Uniqlo, which can be paired over sweaters and under jackets for an extra layer of warmth.

Let your boots steal the show

Great winter style really boils down to a good pair of boots. Got a fab pair of over-the-knee beauties? Show them off by pairing them with a short dress and patterned tights. Have killer ankle boots that the world deserves to see? Style them with cuffed jeans and a chunky knit.

Belt your coats to give them new life

By the middle of winter, it's pretty inevitable that you're going to start to feel some fatigue when it comes to putting on your boring old winter coat day after day. Add new life to your coat simply by belting it. Cinching your waist will not only define your silhouette, but also make it seem like you have a brand new coat. This styling trick will work with just about any coat style, we've even seen some serious fashionistas belt puffer coats.

Embrace (faux!) fur

There aren't many redeeming factors about living through really cold weather fashion-wise, but it is the only time during the year that you can wear fur (faux, of course). So just have fun with it! You can wear fur with just about anything to give your outfit a majorly-luxe upgrade. If you're intimidated by a fur coat, opt for fur mittens, a furry scarf or a beanie with a fluffy pom-pom. If you're ready to compete in the big leagues, treat yourself to an Apparis coat like the Sasha, available in eight colour ways in the brand's iconic, oh-so-soft Pluche faux fur.

Try out trendy hats

Your first instinct in the winter may be to splurge on a pair of boots or a coat, but we're here to advise you to also hunt high and low for the winter hat of your dreams. You're going to be in that thing for a solid two months from here on out it should be something you love. Trendy bucket hats are in, like the above super cute plush pick from Hat Attack, but if you're looking for something you'll wear year after year, a classic beanie will never fail you. If you're all about that beanie life, consider snagging a designer one!
