Happy holidays, one and all! Whew-- long time no see, but we are BACK with another style guide.
For some, winter can be the most fun season for putting together outfits-- with all the layering one has to do, there is so much room for creativity! Here at Chicer Than Sneakers, we have been carefully watching those winter trends, and have for you a handy-dandy list of our top finds for this year.
[Remember: the true key is to have the right coat!]
1. The black turtleneck + denim jacket combination. The classic black sweater paired with a dark wash denim is texture heaven, in both our personal and professional opinions. (And this tip applies to both men and women.)
2. Over-sized plaid blazers. In the gray check pattern, we're seeing this everywhere-- and you probably have been, too. The formality of the blazer, bumped up against the casual feeling of the over-size, brings a professional and unifying touch to an outfit. Use a blazer or other nice jacket to level up.
3. Mock/high neck top + a simple gold necklace. Again with the turtlenecks (can you tell we're obsessed?)! Sometimes all you need to complete an ensemble is a little extra something, and a minimalist pendant on a simple chain is often the perfect addition, not too much but just right.
4. Boots and socks. Mid-calf boots with a hint of sock have been on our list for multiple years, and they're not saying goodbye anytime soon.
5. Big scarves. A big, nice scarf and long coat can take any outfit and give it a classy spin. An easy way to look more intentional and stylish.
Bonus (not practical in all winter climates): Sheer tights. In places where the weather isn't too extreme, sheer tights under a skirt or dress add a certain "je ne sais quoi" and tie it all together. A good way to transition an otherwise spring/summer outfit into the colder months.
